Protein Shakes

Sorry if this has been asked a zillion and one times... I'm so nervous about drinking the protein shakes. Shakes in general (unless legit milk shakes from restaurants) make me gag. I am pre-surgery and would like to start trying shakes now so that I can find one or two brands and flavors that I can tolerate or might actually like.

Anyone have any suggestions of brands?

Premier protein shakes are the best so far and advanced body fortress powder from Wal-Mart is also pretty good and have 30 grams of protein and body fortress powder has 60 protein. Pre op I am told we need to drink Atkins shakes because we need to drink 60 grams of protein so we need to drink five shakes a day of 15 grams of protein 5 times a day plus 60 ounces of water.




Premier Protein chocolate, vanilla and caramel. I like the Pure Protein in Banana Cream also

If you don't like "shakes" try the syntrax nectar. I bought the variety pack to try them all. Flavors like lemonade, iced tea, fuzzy navel. They aren't creamy, more like a regular beverage. I mix them with ice and water, they are 100 calories, sugar free and 23g protein. I'm pre op and just giving them a try to see what I like, and so far, so good. [emoji1303]


I was drinking the lean shake from GNC for a long time over a year but now I'm in bulking up mode at the gym and I cant drink the thick milky stuff for working out I found a water based protein taste like kool aide no sugar added 20 grams of protein its called isolate ZERO pina colada is the bomb so give that a shot if you don't like the thick milky stuff
