Protein shake recommendations



Recommended Posts

Hi all. Today makes 14 days post op sleeve surgery for me. I've been drinking the premade muscle milks and haven't had any problem with taste or keeping them down. That said, I'm trying to find a no sugar, no or low carb powder. Isopure was recommended to me by my doctor. So far I've tried the strawberry cream and the vanilla and both taste disgusting to me. I'm getting very bad stomach aches from it. I've also tried ISO 100, and I'm having the same reaction. Any recommendations.

Thanks in advance

well thats personally what I use but I have found the banana cream one is the best to me anyway. I add a little PB fit and some Greek yogurt and it makes a great Breakfast

I have been using Premier chocolate It has 160 calories, 1 g sugar, is low fat, and doesn't taste bad! I have also added PB2 to give it a little something different. I also have a bariatric vanilla that I add a bit of coconut milk too. That makes it tolerable. I hope this helps!

The new Premiere Protein Clear are good when almost frozen. Perfect for these hot days.

What is the flavor of the Premier Protein clear? I also ordered some Isopure unflavored to add to other things.

For some reason it gave me the worst stomach aches after drinking them. I like the idea of adding some extra Protein. Gotta try that as well.

Vanilla and chocolate. Then you can add a small amount of stevia to sweeten. I add one packet of instant coffee for my own version of a frapee lol. I haven't found a better Protein. It's a bit pricy but totally worth it.

The Protein C lear comes in fruit punch. Kinda like Kool-Aid Atkins makes one called Lift in Lemon, Berry, and orange. Protein20 makes a few flavors. I drink the grape and cherry. .

I have vanilla Bariatric Advantage... it's not horrible either. I am going to have to try the Premiere clear.

my favorite brands are Unjury and Syntrax. I can't taste the Protein in either. Unjury you can only get online on from Unjury's Web site. Syntrax products you can get at a lot of places - both stores and online. It's available through Bariatric Pal's store, in fact.

I couldn't get the Protein down I was using optimum nutrition chocolate, the dietitian gave me a sample of syntax nectar fuzzy navel it is more like a juice and mixed with Water, it was better than using milk and I liked it so I ordered. I hope when it arrives I still like it. I have 2 big containers of protein mix I don't like. Wasted money.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
