Protein protein protien



Recommended Posts

Ok so I laid off the special K Protein Shakes because obviously it's trash... O started on the whey protien shakes it has 32 grams of pure protien and only has 1 gram of Sugar... Omg this stuff tastes like crap it's so gross but I guess I have to deal with it in order to get my 60-70 grams of Protein a day... Does anyone know what else is out there that doesn't taste as bad.... Man this surgery is really kicking my but I'm trying so hard to go by the book.... It's just so hard????

I don't like the pre-mixed Protein shakes. If you have time to use a blender you can make something way better tasting and healthier. For example, I use either almond milk or the Ensure Protein as the base, then throw in a greek yogurt that I have frozen in my freezer, a serving of PB2, and a half scoop of a Protein powder I like...it works out to almost 40g of protein for about 350-400 calories (if I use the Ensure instead of the almond milk). I just never really liked any of the Protein Shakes that came pre-made.

Unjury Protein is pretty good. I especially like the unflavored and strawberry sherbert. Mix both with Crystal light and its actually delicious. My problem is i can't find in stores. So I've been having to order it online...

I really did hate ready-made Protein drinks, they were too sickly for me. However I love powered flavoured Protein Drinks and make them with Water rather than milk, as I find milk with it too sweet. I love Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey (whatever flavour) which has 24 g Protein. 3 gr carbs, 1g sugar per serving. I also love syntax nector which is more like a drink rather than a shake.

Someone posted a long list of Protein Drinks recipes recently. Try searching for it, it was over the past month or so.

Hope it gets easier for you soon!!

I love the Pure Protein Shakes. They have 23g of Protein and low sugar. Any drink that had over 25g of protein is a waste of protein. Your body can only process about 25g at a time. Make sure you are really getting all your protein you need.

I couldn't tolerate Protein shakes, too thick. I love the Syntrax nectar Iced Tea! It's much thinner, like a regular drink.

Isopure!!! Dutch chocolate! Quest Protein power is okay too! And bars from quest are the best.

You can purchase at GNC.< /p>

Isopure is pure whey protein, no carbs, no sugar and just sweetened perfectly with stevia.

I do it with almond milk because less calories than regular milk and tastes just great.

Also, because it's thin , it goes down more easily than thicker Protein Shakes like pure protein.

I didn't like it either! Two scoops will get you 50 grams of protein..easy done,

I've started drinking nectar Protein drinks. It's not so much a shake as a drink mix. It has 23 g of protein per serving and comes in a variety of flavor. It was listed on the recommended protein supplement list given to me by my surgeon. Here is the complete list, which include the places where you can buy each.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
