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.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
