Protein shake recommendations



Recommended Posts

Slim Fast has a CRAP TON of sugar in it. That's why it tastes good. You might try adding a packet of Splenda to whatever you use. I like the Cytosport whey Protein Powder at costco. But it's only available in a huge bag for like $50. You could also try blending it with frozen fruit and crushed ice. And lastly, it's a mind game. You have to tell yourself it's not going ro taste like slim fast or chocolate milk.

For me, it's not necessarily the sweet taste of slim fast, it's not having that powdery feel to it that Protein Drinks have. That's what I'm looking for, something that's lacking that feel.

Amazon has Syntrax for $32.41 (2lb). It's a little less expensive than bariatric pantry & it qualifies for Super Saver (or Prime if you have it) shipping. You can get it even cheaper (30.79) if you do Subscribe & Save. I LOVE their Cappuccino flavor. Fuzzy Naval is also good.

      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.
