Frustrated with protein shakes



Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I was hoping you could help me find a Protein shake I can tolerate. During my pre surgery diet I drank powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury which I really liked. The only annoying thing is that I have to order it online and wait for it to come. I decided to try the GNC branded one and both the chocolate and vanilla were gross to me. Fast forward past surgery on the 29th and I'm not getting enough Protein in. I went to GNC and got the Jay Robb powder which is described as the "best tasting protein on the market" and it was anything but! They all have this very fake smell and aftertaste that Unjury doesn't have. I'm becoming frustrated because I want to increase my intake but I don't want to always rely on waiting for something to come in the mail.

Has anyone who is familiar with Unjury found some flavors that they like?

I haven't had unsure but have had luck with the various Syntrax nectar flavors and the True Athlete Unflavored whey.

I've been making Greek yogurt smoothies with GENEPRO and frozen fruit. 45 grams but pretty filling. I'm 7 weeks out tomorrow and takes me about 45 minutes to drink so may be too soon for you

I'm going to take your word for it and try them out. The Total Lean shake was of the ones I didn't like but maybe the pre made ones will be okay

I second or third this! The total lean comes in a regular (sweetened with sucralose I think) and a "natural" (sweetened w stevia) I find the latter much much tastier but am not sure if it comes pre-mixed. I just shake each one up individually in a Blender Bottle. There's also a vegan version but I haven't looked at the numbers on that one.

Also ditto-ing the use of GENEPRO powder! Make anything into a high Protein thing and in my experience it's not detectable.

I use these premise as well - I love the strawberries n cream, pumpkin spice, vanilla, chocolate, and banana cream (which I had to buy online because GNC isn't currently carrying it in liquid form.

I bought Peanut Butter GNC Wheybolic Extreme 60 Original at GNC this week and it is my primary Protein Shake now, but I make it into a smoothie. One scoop Protein, skim milk, some ice, and a splash of GNC Lean shake liquid chocolate, and 5 seconds on my Magic Bullet and I'm a HAPPY camper! So yummy, and not too sweet. I am now happy on my all-liquid diet!post-292853-14731099282345_thumb.jpg

      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!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
