"Shaking" things up with those protein shakes ...



Recommended Posts

I wonder if anybody else has found any types of allowed flavorings that make their Protein Drinks actually FUN to take?

I don't have a problem with what I've been using (Body Fortress in the chocolate and vanilla ... made the mistake of buying the strawberry -- don't do it :-), but they got boring.

Yesterday opened my can of powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored (unjury.com), added it to 8 oz. of milk and then threw in about a tablespoon of banana cream flavored sugar free, fat free Jell-O pudding mix (powder). Shook it, let it sit for five minutes, and voila ... banana cream milkshake!

It was marvelous.

I've got the butterscotch and one other flavor (can't remember which) of Jell-O pudding power (SF/FF) in my closet and am looking forward to trying those with the Unjury unflavored too.

Oh -- one other thing -- especially if you're still on "clears" pre or post op: the Unjury unflavored Protein is terrific when added to chicken, beef or vegetable broth. Be careful not to heat the broth too much, though, or the Unjury will lump together and not dissolve. And then it is, quite simply, gross.

Glad I'm banded ... looking forward to my first fill!:)

Thanks for the suggestions. I have been lax in my Protein tracking. I really dislike the shakes, so this is VERY helpful.

I use Isopures Protein, and like to add a yogurt to it. It creams it up (I mix w/ water) and adds an interesting flavor combination. Lately been using Activia, and that's been a life saver - if you know what I mean :).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
