Tired of meal replacement shakes!



Recommended Posts

I have been drinking Meal Replacement shakes for almost a month now, and I am getting to the point where the thought of drinking another makes me nauseous. I am only 2 weeks post-op and know I need the Protein.....any suggestions>>

I totally understand! I've been struggling with the same thing. I started Protein shakes 6 weeks pre-op, and am now 2+ weeks post-op. I can only get through about half a shake before I have to throw it out, because it is no longer appealing. My doc put me on mushy foods this week, and I've been so thankful to be able to change it up a bit. I still try to drink a Protein Shake on my way to work in the morning. As my nutritionist said to me as I was getting sick of it pre-op, think of it as medicine. It is a necessary means to an end. I try not to taste it when I drink it.

Wow. I suggest varying things up a bit.

I've been drinking Protein shakes daily (sometimes twice a day) for well over a year now. Luckily, my premier Protein Shakes still taste great to me and I consider them a huge part of the success I've had thus far.

Hopefully you can find some that you like and don't have to consider them the enemy as I think this is going to be a long journey without them.

Try mixing shake flavors (I mix caramel pretzel with chocolate) or adding a banana and/or a very small dollop of Peanut Butter. It makes a huge difference in the flavor!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
