Protein Shakes



Recommended Posts

Fairlife milk is very good so I would see no reason these shakes would not be also.

The macros look great! If you like the taste and feel good drinking them, I say go for it!

I'm curious about these, too! I use Fairlife milk in my shakes, but these would be good for variety and on the go.

I have never had fairlife but would be interested. I make all my shakes with Water. I wonder if i should start making them with milk to get in more Protein, but then i have heard your body cannot process more than 30g at a time and if my shake is 25.. not sure if adding the milk is beneficial.

Use skim if you go to milk, none of us need to reload fat back in!

My Protein Powder recommends mixing with 8 ounces of water/milk, but since I use Fairlife I use 6 ounces. This gives me about 30g Protein and a smaller Protein Shake, which I like because I hate Protein Shakes.

I went to the store today and remembered to pick up the Core Power shakes. I got chocolate and it's okay. It kind of reminds me of a Yoohoo, but less sweet. I don't love it, but I don't hate it as much as other Protein Shakes.

I am 2 weeks post op and find that I’m very bloated and gasey after I drink my Protein Shakes with skim milk or 1% milk. . I decided to try the fairlife milk as my PA recommended it in pre-op class if we found we were sensitive to milk. I have to say the Fairlife milk 1% tastes thicker and heavier then whole milk. I can’t tolerate it. Feels like I’m using heavy cream to make my shakes. I do add a few ice cubes to my Protein shakes and blend them in my small blender. It makes them a bit more tolerable. The ice breaks down completely and just makes the shake frothy and taste better.

      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!!
