Getting in your Protein w/o artificial sweetener?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of a Protein Shake (not powder if I can help it) that has less than 3g sugar and no artificial sweetener?

I love the Nugo slim bars because they fit this criteria, but they aren't nearly as easy to get down.

Barring that, is anyone managing to get the 60g of Protein a day with out Protein Shakes? 20 grams of protein a meal seems practically impossible right now.

Thanks! I'll look into them!

You bet.. It's considered Water so it will count towards your water intake as well. Good luck!

I drink Bi-Pro Water and they have no artificial sweeteners. They can be a little filmy on the tongue so drink them cold.

I’m tired of artificial sugars and have vowed to never have them again after I’m tolerating solid foods. I will use no sugar, raw sugar, honey, stevia, Monk Fruit (don’t have a sweet tooth) but I will kick sucralose and aspartame out of my diet for good as soon as I can.

As far as Bi-Pro, costco and Amazon carry them. They double as water and Protein so a relief if you are feeling hangry.

I rarely use Protein Shakes anymore unless I'm adding it to Decaf coffee.

I am getting my 60g of protein in daily, my surgery was 8/20 - It sometimes takes up to 6 meals a day, but it's doable.

tuna Creations has flavored tuna and salmon with 13-16g protein, coupled with cottage cheese - 20+ grams of protein per serving.

Yogurt - Dannon Light and Fit Greek and Oikos Zero is 15g of protein per serving

The idea is to now slowly ween yourself off protein shakes and move to more solid foods to get the necessary Proteins. It's out there, you just have to not be as picky and accept this is for nutrition.

My meal portions are no larger than 3 oz and are usually more so around the 2 - 2.5 oz mark.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
