Need Help With Protein Shakes



Recommended Posts

Is there a consensus out there on what is the best tasting and best Protein Shake available for both the ready made ones and the powder mixes?

Also, for my Stage 2 Diet (Week 2) it says to add Protein Powder to all low Protein liquids. Could anyone suggest what protein powder they use?

Lastly, does it matter if I make my shakes with skim milk or should it be with only Water or ice?

Thanks!

Everyone is different, however the only one I genuinely like is unjury. I have the chocolate splendor for Breakfast every morning. They also sell an unflavored powder you can mix with other stuff.

I mix mine with skim milk because it's extra nutrients and Protein

Unjury is only available online: http://www.unjury.com/store/protein/

I liked core power chocolate - it's a premade shake. I have yet to find a powder I love. I mixed my powder with skim milk to get more Protein. My doctor/dietician recommend a skim milk from HEB (I don't know where you live and if you have HEB there) called mootopia because it's fat free, lactose free, and has extra protein (12g for a serving), plus its really tasty since its a little Creamer than regular skim milk due to the extra protein. Hope this helps!

Choose your Protein powder based on taste and nutrition,,,I was advised to use only 100% whey Isolate Protein shakes, and like the Wheybolic Extreme from GNC. I find that the shakes taste better if mixed with milk...and you can throw an ice cube or 2 into the blender to make the shake thicker.

I've not yet discovered a ready mixed shake which has the same nutritional value as Protein powders, but the Atkins premixed shakes seem to have a fair amount of protein (though it is not all whey protein), and to me are more palatable than most I have tried.

I haven't found a ready-mixed shake that was as affordable as a powder that you mix yourself. Besides, I like to experiment with mine. It's just more fun that way! ;)

      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.
