Just Can't Drink these Shakes!



Recommended Posts

What is the consistancy of unjury shakes? Are they thick or more thin like liquid?

The chocolate is just like chocolate milk, but they also have strawberry which you mix with Water, so it is more like Kool-aid.

Have you all tried Isopure Water? I wont say it's good but will say it is better than shakes! Or at least a break from the shakes. They have 45 gams of Protein per bottle. Lots of fruit flavors...punch, grape, peach, even orange cream soda.

Some people put it in a blender 2/ice and say it tastes like a slurpee-havent tried that yet.

Right now im using this shake called fitsmart, my mom had got it and until i finish it she isnt buying anything else. I plan on using the optimum Nutrition 100% whey Gold Standard as well or Designer whey Protein they both have veryyyy high ratings and supposedly don't taste bad.

Im using 2 scoops of Protein Powder 1/4 banana 4 oz of low fat milk and ice. Sometimes I put a litttle bit of Peanut Butter in it. It's delicious.

In regards to Peanut Butter there is a product called PB2 which I use in my shakes (post op). I think the only place to buy it is online (some gyms sell it that's where my sister first bought it). They press out most of the oil from the peanut and then grind up the peanuts to a powder. Significantly reduces the calories/fat content and tastes pretty good in a chocolate Protein Shake.< /p>

I ended up with Syntrax Nectar in Cappuccino, Iso-100 in Gourmet chocolate, and IsoFlex in Chocolate Peanut Butter. I also bought a bunch of single serve packets in flavors like lemonade, cherry, pina colada, dreamsicle. Jay Robb powders are chunky, no matter what I did to them. You can get them in a fitness nutrition store, not GNC.< /p>

I like to combine a scoop of Cappucino with a half scoop of chocolate, and it tastes like a mocha frapp. Low cal, NO SUGAR, and I'm pretty sure no carbs.

I also mix it up between using Skim Plus milk (tastes like 2%) and vanilla Silk (soy milk)

Everyone's tastes are different, I only liked unjury's chocolate, the rest nauseated me.

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
