Let's talk protein shakes ?!



Recommended Posts

I agree they aren't great. I too recommend Premiere Protein. Although my favorite is Caramel. If you are allowed, you can mix them in coffee (or decaf). It's kinda like a latte. :) I also found Unjury makes a high protein chicken Soup that I really enjoy.

I hated most shakes I tried... but I found out that I am intolerant to aspartame and sucralose. bipro is stevia based, and I've been on the liqud diet 2 days and drinking them a few times a week before that and I still think they are delicious. It doesn't taste "fake" and overly sweet like the other ones do imo. I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk and a few ice cubes to curb the powdery taste and I'm good to go.

what are some good tasting Protein shakes I know I was told I need 60G a day in Protein Shake tips anyone ?

I'm amused after being here barely a fortnight to find that someone starts this topic (or one with a very similar name or theme) every other day.

Hey, mzsantiago88 , I suggest you use the search tool at the top of the page. This topic is done to death.

My favorite shakes are the Premier. I am drinking the banana cream right now and it's really good. Make they are cold and they will go down smooth! Also try to freeze them in popsicle trays, everything's easier to eat in popsicle form lol

We are all here to help each other, not to be critical. You'll find a lot of the topics are repetitive, but it's a place for people to discuss their upcoming surgeries and concerns. If you don't want to read about Protein Shakes again, don't click on the thread. Simple as that.

I have been here awhile and just now a week out post-op. This subject is done a lot but I for one have learned something new each time. The struggle is real to get these babies down and to have them more palatable. The powdered is too thick right now and lays in my new stomach like lead. The premades are just too sweet at times. This is a subject that I zoom to when I see a new one posted. Plus the newbies are still learning the site/app. Keep the suggestions coming folks!

Don't worry if the topic has been done before, most have!!😊

I like Inspire shakes from Bariatric Eating. Lots of flavors and relatively easy to mix. I also add spinach and fruit to those shakes, although not a lot at all.

I used to enjoy Premier Protein shakes but they have been sitting in my pantry for a couple of months now. I really only use Inspire.

I don't know what I would do without the Unjury chicken Soup. It's savory, not sweet and goes down very easy. You have to make sure the Water is the correct temperature, but other than that, it's a simple and refreshing change to all the sweet, dessert-y type shakes and drinks out there. My nutritionist recommended it to me and now I highly recommend it to you.

I thought about buying that but I wasn't sure if it would be disgusting or not. Does it taste just like a broth?

Very close to a broth. It's not perfectly clear so it's slightly thicker. It's a bit on the salty side, but you can add a little extra Water to dilute it to taste.

      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!
