Protein Shakes Ugh!



Recommended Posts

Hi all. My dietician now has me doing a Protein Drink a day whether a meal or a snack. I bought Celebrate packets of latte and Cookies and cream thinking they would taste good. Yuck. The only thing I can drink without a gag is the Premier Protein which I know I really shouldn't drink. Any suggestions on great tasting drinks that are comparable in taste to Premier. Thank you in advance.

What is wrong with Premier Protein drinks? They recommended them where I had surgery, because they have 30 grams of Protein. I loved them before surgery but don't like taste after surgery. I use flavorless GENEPRO. I add to my hot coco or tea or broth. I like that I don't have that whey flavor to shake.< /p>

My dietician doesn't care much for premier either, she says it is the top of the line junk Protein meaning it is the best out of the low quality Proteins. But, she says if that is what you can get that it is fine.

nectar is really good, and for plant I like Organ Organic.

Premier Protein was suggested by my bariatric dietician as a good option. Price and availability make it a good option for many I know. I keep the pre made on hand at work and I appreciate the convenience. I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and nectar powders at home.

Someone on another blog recommended Syntrax from Bariatric Choice website. I personally love Premier Protein and so did the other person who recommended Syntrax, so maybe you will like it maybe not.. I guess it's all trial and error.

Thanks all. My reason was like previous poster that the Protein isnt quality but since I like the taste I will continue to use it.

I personally use nectar Sweets by Syntrax, they offer so many different flavors. They are easy to mix with either Water or milk and just taste great over all. My favorites hands down are vanilla bean torte and chocolate truffle. Try Nectar Sweets, you might be able to buy just a packet to try. I usually just buy the huge tub. Best of luck!

Yeah, to me, powder Protein doesn't dissolve well.

      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!
