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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
