Premade protein shakes



Recommended Posts

My fave by far is the strawberry Premier Protein. A pretty close 2nd is the banana Pure Protein.

A few others that aren't bad, just not my top choice include:

vanilla Premier Protein

Cookies and Cream Pure Protein

strawberry Pure Protein

Beyond these, I've tried all others that are available in retail stores around here (GNC, Muscle Milk, Atkins, Weight Watchers, Isopure, Myoplex, LeanBody, ISS, HydroxyCut) and they all either have too little protein to keep me feeling full more than 2 hours or the taste is so bad I can't choke them down.

Unfortunately though, like so much else with this journey, all of our tastes are different. There are plenty of others on here who say they can't stand the ones that I love, etc...

My favorite premade shakes are vanilla Premier Protein (I purchase at Costco) and the Believe shakes from bariatriceating.com.

Where do you buy Pure Protein? Does anyone have a problem with lactose intolerance? I tried the Premier Protein (yep Costco) and couldn't handle them because of the lactose. In the past I've used a Soy based Protein shake called Slim Quest which I got online. 20gms. of Protein each and pretty good taste, but I'm not sure if I should use so much soy protein. Will ask at my pre-op appointment.

I buy the Pure Protein from Vitamin Shoppe.

They sell the cans individually to experiment with, but also in cases which brings the cost down a bit. I believe they also have them at GNC too.

The unjury ones were pretty good. The banana one was tolerable. We had a tasting at nutrition counseling. They can be mixed with whatever and they will send you samples.< /p>

I've only seen Unjury in powder form. Where did you find it already premade?

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
