What are good protein shakes?



Recommended Posts

I have tried both Bariatric fusion and Bariatric Advantage. I liked the vanilla from advantage. It didn't have a funky aftertaste in my opinion. I like the orange creme. It reminds me of a dreamsicle ice cream pop. I purchased the fusion on that because I got it from the doc's office(they are actually switching from fusion to advantage). Anyway, the orange was kinda mild in the shake, so I added a little sunshine orange crystal light and it adds the pop of orange flavor which is great.

Anyway, I hope you find something you like!

One Protein option I found today was unflavored. I added it to chicken broth, and didn't notice anything distasteful or nasty. No artificial flavor, no sugar, no sweetener, and not bad. I reached my limit on chocolate flavored stuff and needed some alternatives.

Just keep in mind that your surgeon might not want you using them all the time. I bought a bunch of the stuff only to find out that my surgeon wants me eating my calories, not drinking them. Oh well.

:)

Yeah, my surgeon says no Protein shakes but my nutritionist (given to me by him, mind you) says I must!! LOL LOL LOL :mad3:

I just drink 'em anyways and having no problem now losing weight... I guess it is different for everyone.

      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.
