Please help me find a shake that tastes good.

My faves are unjury strawberry and Natural Factors Double chocolate. I like the Natural Factors because it doesn't have any artificial sweetneers and is organic. I've turned into a Manic Organic since banding. I want everything to be the best quality.

Thought my grocery bill would go down..... Not the case yet....

I like the eas chocolate powdered Protein. I mix it with Hood's chocolate milk (no sugar, low fat.) It doesn't have the nasty thick consistancy of slimfast. You can also get it at Sams.

I agree about thinning down the slimfast in a blender with ice cubes and a little flavoring.

Gotta love that magic bullet

I also like the Unjury. the non-flavored is great to add to anthing you want..

I love the chocolate,

Also look for Healthwise online. they have great,shakes/puddingd, and Fruit Drinks, as well as hot chocolate and coffee drinks

I ordered a bunch of sugar fre flavorings from Capella Flavor Drops - Flavor Concentrates for Coffee, Tea, Desserts, Diet & Protein Shakes without fats,calories,carbs or sweeteners

a sample pack of 5 bottles, your choice came to around $34. this includes your shipping.

try drwells.info. she is a local weight loss doctor who has a lot of high Protein products for sale on her site. You can at least look at some nutrition labels and get ideas and see some different brands.

The ones my mom used after her Gastric Bypass you can get at a health/vitamin store. They're called Champion and they taste really really good...plus she started using (sparingly) the sugar-free Fat-free syrups (like caramel, raspberry, etc) to add flavor and it makes a world of difference...plus it's a huge amount of Protein in those shakes...

Atkins has a shake, Caramel Latte, that has 20g of Protein and 2 (I think) g of carbs. It is awesome. Tastes like a Starbucks Frappachino. At least that's what I tell myself. :angry_smile:

I also like the Slim Fast Optima French vanilla and Milk chocolate. The Milk chocolate tastes very much like a fudgecicle.

I drink them all very, very cold over ice.

Unjury isn't too bad. I would go to Walmart and buy the Body Fortress whey Protein in all the flavors you like. it is much cheaper than unjury and tastes just the same. The good part about unjury is that they have so many flavors. A lot of the doctor's offices have protein supplements. I also like Healthwise. They have a Tomato Soup that is pretty good and gives you some variety.

I like the Atkins and EAS Carb Control ready-to-drink shakes. I also have gotten Designer Whey powder. I tried a lot of samples from Vitalady.com but most of them tasted gross to me and required a lot of mixing. The Designer Whey powder mixes easily with a spoon.

unjury is OK too, but the strawberry sorbet flavor is the worst. IMHO. :biggrin:

Thats so funny, I love the strawberry unjury, goes to show you, you just gotta try them all!

Really?! :biggrin: I'm not a picky person and I couldn't even get it down. It definitely goes to show you that it's a good idea to try lots of different kinds before making an investment (I read stories on here of people buying big containers of Protein powder only to find out that they hated 'em). Sample packs are the best way to go, I think.

Medifast is pretty decent. Do the chocolate with a couple drops of mint extract and 4 ice cubes. Yum. Also, instead of Water, I used Diet Rite orange soda with the vanilla shake mix for a dreamsicle. Also use Diet A&W rootbeer and vanilla shake. And their strawberry is good all by itself.:thumbup:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
