Protein shake problems



Recommended Posts

Just tried GNC lean 25 vanilla shake (mixed with lactaid/water)...and previously tried the chocolate they were awful :( Going to pick up some Premier Protein ready to drink at costco. What else can I try that doesn't taste nasty? I'm pretty sensitive to tastes apparently because others have said they love them. I chugged it-- there is no way I can do slow sips! How does unflavored Protein work? What am I doing wrong?

I like Body Fortress from Walmart. The chocolate is my favorite. Vanilla is okay too. strawberry is just so-so. The chocolate and Peanut Butter is okay as well.

Syntax nectar.....peach, Cherry, lemonade, iced tea, caribbean cooler, grape, vanilla, Cappuccino, Cookies and cream, chocolate truffle and probably others I can't remember. You can get individual packets to try at many health food stores and on Amazon.< /p>

In addition to Syntrax Nectars, you might also want to try ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates. They aren't Meal Replacements, but are a good way to get in extra Protein, especially when you are on Clear Liquids.< /p>

PS, I like the GNC Lean 25 in orange cream.

I had problems tolerating most of the Protein shakes I tried. I eventually found Isopure zero carb drinks (ready to drink bottles with lots of flavors), I like the Alpine punch flavor. They are sold at Amazon, GNC, and the Vitamin Shop. They aren't milky at all which seems to work for me. At first it was a little bitter (almost like unsweeted kool aid, but I quickly adapted and love it!. It was approved by my NUT as well. I also enjoyed the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup. Good luck and try different products until you find your thing!

I'm still pre surgery, last year when I was diagnosed as prediabetic, I had to eat similarly to the way you do after WLS... I use this Protein powder with Water and would add cinnamon, flax seed and sometimes Peanut Butter etc... I have found ready to drink Protein shakes are awful... This one is Cookies and cream flavor, got it at costco...

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
