Protein shakes:(



Recommended Posts

Help! I am one week out from surgery and today my Protein Shake is making me gag! I am using Isopure Dutch chocolate. It is way too sweet. Can't do the strawberry at all. It is even sweeter! Please veterans, what are some good tasting Protein drinks! I am generally not a picky person!

I do Water down my shakes because they are too sweet. To my understanding it doesn't affect the Protein at all

I'm another Premier Protein fan. You can get them at Walmart, Sam's, and costco I know, and I would bet other places have them too. I loooove the chocolate, tolerate the vanilla, and loathe the strawberry.< /p>

I am 10 months out and still enjoy the Premier shakes. I love the chocolate, vanilla and strawberry but now they have to be very cold to drink them. Not so much at the beginning. I put them in the freezer for about 10 minutes prior to drinking them. They are a good Meal Replacement. Not always filling but they are healthy

Premier Protein all the way!

$25 for a 18 pack at costco or Sam's Club. 30 grams of Protein in each 11 ounce serving.

If you want something non-sweet, try Unjury's chicken Soup Protein (just Google it - the auto-linking feature with Unjury here makes it impossible for me to link you directly). If it sounds good, order a couple single serve packets before you commit to a bigger canister.

Isopure is the only thing that ever made me gag. Jay Robb and Bariatric fusion were all pretty gross, too.

Premier, Syntrax nectar, Syntrax matrix and muscle milk have all been really good. But everything was too sweet for me, too. I dilute premier 1/2 and 1/2 with milk and use twice as much Water or milk to mix the powders.< /p>

I also mixed unflavored powder with every kind of broth and cream Soup I could find to totally get away from the sweet. Dilute, blend and strain the dream Soups while in liquid stage.

I love Chike. They even have a coffee flavored one, along with all their other delicious flavors. I actually look forward to drinking them. I add ice to the blender and make them all shake style.

FYI, the coffee flavor is cheaper on Amazon than on the Chike Nutrition website.

I use GNC 100 whey, and the Isopure Water pre- made (not powder)

I also like the premiere Protein in vanilla and chocolate. In the beginning (I am 7 wks post op) and pre op they were to sweet for me so I mixed them with 4oz of 1% milk. Made them easier to drink.

Now I use one for lunch pretty much everyday just by themselves.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
