Protein Shakes suggestions?



Recommended Posts

Unjury powder tastes alright

Isopure powder has more Protein

Synrax powder mixes better

Celebrate tastes alright, mixes alright, but takes twice as much product for the same amount of protein as Unjury

Syntax Matrix, Syntrax Nectar, and Muscle Milk all have outstanding flavor selections. Besides those I've also had Jay Rob, Garden of Life, un jury and Spirutein

I am doing the same thing right now. Isopure Cookies and Cream tastes weird. It has a funky aftertaste and is pretty sweet. I did mix it with some chocolate almond milk and it was more bearable.

I am still waiting for Premier shakes to come in, along with EAS, GNC Total Lean and about 3 flavors of Syntrax nectar. (All of those shakes were suggested by other people on here.)

Right now I am trying out substituting some meals with shakes so when I get to the pre-op diet I am not completely shocked! :)

I stick with Premier Protein chocolate. I have tried EAS and Muscle Milk but always go back to Premier shakes.

Premiere Protein shakes all the way! I have tried all of them at it is by far the best tasting. You get 30mg a shake and the cheapest place to buy them is Sam's for $19.00 a case. The best!

I use Bariatric Advantage from Amazon. chocolate is my favorite. Now I'm using GNC Cookies and cream, also

CVS sells individual packets of their brand. I love their strawberry. I had them order me a carton and keep packets with me in the car ( I'm in sales and drive all day.

Also I now use GENEPRO Protien (Amazon) this is for post surgery and is tasteless n can be added to crystal light drinks, oatmeal, anything really to boost Protein content. The GENEPRO Is really great directly after surgery when it is hard to get all the Protein in.

Good luck!!!

Just started to try a few samples my clinics office gave me. They are all Syntrax nectar. The good so far: Fuzzy Navel (waaay good), Cappucino, and vanilla Bean Torte. The only other one I tried was Cookies and Cream and that I did not like at all. My nutritionist suggested mixing them with almond milk. They shake up and blend really well in the hand shaker thing with the wire ball inside.

Thant's all I know so far :)

You really need to taste them because each person will like something different. I had specific needs: no soy isolate, no artificial dyes, and no stevia. I tried a bunch of different ones. I ended up with 3 I use depending on what I am eating: CVS whey powder, Orgain Organic premade shakes and Prosource liquid Protein in neutral flavor.

I bought a bunch of samples from Nashua Nutrition for $1.95 each. They even package samples for products that don't manufacture and individual serving size. I LOVED being able to order such a large variety of samples and not be stuck with tubs of mix I can't stand. I do love the Peanut Butter cookie Protein Powder. It is amazing!

Muscle milk cookie n cream is amazing! I love it.

GNC vanilla is ok. It would be better if mixed in a smoothie. Pure Protein mint chocolate chip is awful.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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!
