Protein shakes- UGH!!!



Recommended Posts

OK, I stated my preop diet and am heavily relying on Protein Shakes now. This leads me to the question: Which ones taste good? I've tried several, and they range from OK to revolting. There has got to be some that are a little more palatable, and I'm sure my fellow message board members know which ones they are. C'mon, guys- hook a girl up! :)

Are you doing the HMR800?, I like both the vanilla and chocolate, mix with Water and shake it up in my GNC shaker.< /p>

I'm loving my Ultimate Muscle Protein by Beverly. Each scoop is 20g of protein, 130 cal and 4 carbs. It's a little pricey but I like the taste of it. Cheap or expensive, protein that doesn't taste good is protein you will not drink.

Optimum Nutrition 100% whey Gold Standard, Caramel Toffee

This is the best Protein I've ever had. I've gone through 3 2lb tubs already (had to restart 2 week pre op diet 12 days in).

Get it on Amazon at GNC if you need it immediately. All of their stuff tastes pretty good.

I got very tired of the shakes and now drink the Protein H2O its really good, it's from the Muscle Milk Products. It's a little expensive but I figure I'm saving a lot of money by not going out to eat.

I found an awesome product at bariatriceating.com. today was my first day to use it so i was a bit nervous. but you go their site and click on shop and Protein powders. it is called BE Pure Isolate Protein. IT HAS NO FLAVOR AND NO TEXTURE. No Fat no or low carbs (i dont have the package in front of me). It mixes with anything. I promise. i drank it with chicken broth for lunch today and it turned it a little milky but no bad taste or grit. I praised God for this. Cause i did not want to drink a RTD shake. they are too thick and too sweet. please give this site a try. they have other flavors also. But i know that i would not make it through this pre-op plan without it. Good luck !

sorry to say this but I could not find one Protein Drink that i liked. I hated everyone of them. I skipped them completely and said if i become protein deficient, oh well. it was only a week> Good luck

For a pre-mixed Protein drink I like EAS, chocolate. Have not tried the vanilla. Put it in a blender with some ice and not bad at all. I drink it straight out of the bax to. Give it a try, I don't think you will be sorry. My Dr. said no Mussell Milk, not sure why.

I'm on my pre op liquid diet and I'm using Natures Best Zero Carb Isopure Protein Powder. I have only tried the vanilla so far but I throw half a frozen banana in it and it isn't too bad. It is after all a Protein powder so don't expect it to taste fantastic. They do have other flavors I plan to try. I picked the Isopure because 2 scoops give you 50g of protein. That is the biggest amount of protein of any of the powders I looked at and since we supposedly need 60g to 80g of protein per day I figured that was the biggest bang for the buck. A 3lb tub is around $37.00 and you can check online for the cheapest place. Good luck.

      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.
