OMG Protein Shakes



Recommended Posts

I have got to say these are the worst tasting things in the world, either that I am drinking the wrong ones... I started out listening to my husband who has some for when he goes to the gym called muscle milk was the name of it. ( probably my first mistake was listening to him :) JK he did try to help ) I ordered a bunch from vita something or another I can't remember off the top of my head, but I think maybe I was getting a little to fancy and thought all those wild tropical favors were actually going to taste like the drinks from a tropical island.... Anyway I don't know how you guys all do it I can't stop gagging, well any suggest as to where I can get some more samples? I found a post on here but it takes you to a page where you can sign up for free samples but there was only like two Protein Shakes on there.. Any suggestions??? Thanks in advance everybody.

Do you remember the title of the post with the samples. I have yet to find that lol.

And each one has its own taste, I find that instead of buying a case I go to GNC or local health store, pick one brand on each trip and keep going like that til I find one I like THEN I buy in bulk lol. So far my new favorite is at Walmart. It comes in a big red vial called

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Body-Fortress-Super-Whey-Protein-Shot-Fruit-Punch-Supplement-17.4-oz/13274526

That is for a case, or you can buy them singular in the store for around 1.84

They are 26g Protein for 110 calories which comes out to 4.23cal/g. Seeing that Protein has 4cal/g that means they are only adding .23cal from other things into it which is really nice.

Stores like GNC and Vitamin Shoppe often will let you return Protein if you try it once and don't like it. Personally I like Gold Standard Double chocolate. Also do some research on things to add in. For example: sugar free pudding mix, Davinchi sugar free syrups (coffee isle). Also freeze milk cubes (2 is about 1/3 cup) mix shake with a blender which give it icy texture.

For ready to drink Premier from costco is good (160 cal, 30 g protein)

I drank carnation instant Breakfast mixed with skim milk, it was just like having a glass of chocolate milk. I only drank them while I was on liquid diet and mushies. Haven't touched one since, I don't have a problem getting my protien.

I got three different brands before my pre-op diet. All chocolate - Walmart, BodyMilk, Premier from Costco) and I am OK with all of them. I guess I am of the lucky few ... or just don’t have good taste :-) They all a bit too sweet for me.

I plan to spend some time after the surgery (tomorrow YEY) to find an all natural whey Isolate. If anyone has any suggestion – please let me know here or pm.

My surgeon put me on a brand called Bariatric Advantage. By themselves, they are just "OK." However, if you add ice and fruit, they taste just like a milkshake from STEAK AND shake....

Take vanilla Protein Powder and mix with milk ( skim) / use frozen fruit/ yoplait smoothie mix in frozen section/ peanut butter/ sugar free Jello pudding about one to two tbsp/ crystal light..... just keep mixing until you find a Protein Shake that taste good. Unjuy Protein ( strawberry sorbet) is good. Baratric .com sells some awesome Protein Bars ( i like the caramel crunch) that I eat prior to a work out or for Snacks, I also like the strawberry cream shake /pudding mix that they sell.

I drink AMP 60 from GNC its a little pricey but its wonderful..Add ice and a little coffee and its like having a dessert. 60 grams of Protein with 12 ounces of skim milk is 72 ounces of protein,

By the way for those that are interested the fat count is 1g, the calories are 370.

      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.
