Need a protein shake



Recommended Posts

My nutritionist also recommended Muscle Milk Light (along with several others). Unfortunately, I can't tolerate it because of my Lactose intolerance (although I did like the taste). I am currently using Isopure powder (vanilla and chocolate are good - I hated the clear fruit flavored ones). Isopure is 25 grams of Protein per scoop and tastes good to me :P

Vicky, MM Light is lactose free. Weird that it didn't agree with you! I heard good things about Isopure too. I've only used MM, but was looking into Isopure as well.

I just tried MM light and yes it is lactose free that's why i tried it...Isopure is ok my fav is the strawberries and cream, Cookies and cream was way to sweet and the chocolate was ok...the non flavored one is kinda nasty tho...

I looked for the book online but have not been able to find it. Can you give the author and isbn so that I can try to get it? I love the 2 recipes you posted and I love anything that I can make myself.

Thanks!

I could not find it online either.. :(

Hi, I also have a problem with MM Light. I know is says Lactose Free, but it bothered my stomach. I'm starting to wonder if I have milk intolerance not just lactose intolerance. I seem to tolarate most cheese but a lot of other dairy products, yogurt, cream cheese really bother me. I use Lactaide milk and it's gotten very pricey. Found it at Sams Club but they only carry 2%. Any ideas on where to get Lactaid Skim milk at a resonable price?

I will try the Isopure, and hope it helps. (Thanks Vickyd)

My two favorites brands are Pure Protein-I love the Cookies and Cream flavored, and EAS (which I get in soy, not whey). Both of them I have been able to find at Target and/or Walmart. I get the powder and mix them myself (because it is tons cheaper) with about 4-6 oz of soy or almond milk and about 6-8 oz water-the thicker texture does not agree with my gag-reflex, which is why I add extra water! I put it in a shaker with ice and keep it super cold.

I buy Body Fortress Protein powder (chocolate, strawberry, and Vanilla) from Wal Mart. I mix the vanilla with milk or NSA CIB but my favorite is strawberry with Strawberry GV sugar free drink mix. Not thick like a shake, but very berry! Tastes alot like Kellogs Protein Water but MUCH cheaper! Try the vanilla with SF Orange (tastes kinda like a Creamsicle).

Good Luck everyone!

Best recipe I found. My non banded husband even drinks them. I bought Protein powder on Amazon.com. off the top of my head it is syntha-6 brand or something like that. I got vanilla ice cream flavor.

1 cup skim milk

1/2 cup frozen no sugar added berries

1 scoop Protein Powder

I mix in my magic bullet and 10 seconds, I have a delicious smootie!

I LOVE Hydro whey, I get mine through GNC. I get the chocolate and add a little instant coffee and it tastes just like a mocha. It dissolves VERY well in cold milk or Water and tastes FANTASTIC! I could NOT stomach Isopure and about a dozen others I tried. Even better, if you get it through GNC and don't' like it (I have yet to find anyone who didn't like it) you cant take it back for a full refund. You can't go wrong!

It's 30 g Protein, 2 g Carbs and 0 sugar. I have yet to find a drink as good in nutrition and as tastey. Good luck!!! Let me know if you try it :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
