Getting prepared...what protein shakes do you like?

[JULESDARLN 26]

I went to my nutritionist 2 weeks ago and at that time, still had 16lbs to lose before my surgery. She told me to use Body Fortress. I love the taste of them. I use 1 scoop of the choc. 8oz 2% milk, 1cup ice, and a banana. Blend it all up, very yummy. Also I like to use 1 scoop of the vanilla, 1 cup ice, 8oz milk and 1 cup of pineapple. Taste like a pina coloda. I also mike chia seeds in sometimes. 30g of Protein just in the powder and only 170 cal, 2g sugar. BTW, in two weeks, I lost 11lbs! I have two shakes a day, salad with either chicken or fish for dinner and snacks/fruit twice a day. I only have 5lbs to go before surgery can be scheduled. Good luck! Also, if you go on the website for them and sign up for newsletter, they will give you two coupons for $1.00 off. Then you can also sign up on Facebook and get two more. They also have lots of great recipies

I'm August 9th and I'm also trying to find good shakes. I would love to try the premier shakes since they have so much Protein but can't find them around here. We don't have a costco anywhere in the state and I looked at Amazon and couldn't believe the cost!! Maybe Sam's club? Idk but I'll look into these others. I have heard great things about unjury though.

Ask your nutritionist if she can give you a sample of Unjury. My hospital gift shop carries it, but I've always bought online.

Thank you to everyone for your suggestions!

Not sure why, but tonight I started getting sooooo nervous. I guess that's normal...

Trying to be proactive and make sure I have everything I need, especially since the next few weeks will fly by.

Thanks again!

Last minute jitters are normal. Once you're at the hospital, they will keep you too busy to think about being nervous.

Anyone try naturade total soy Protein? I've been drinking it and it taste pretty good. Does it have enough Protein for me or should I try something different?

Check out bariatricfoodie.com great Protein Shake recipes. Peanut brittle is my favorite!

I get the insopure unflavored powder and make my own, they're SO much better then the premade ones. My favorite 2 are strawberries, peaches, and crystal lite lemonade with the powder (tastes like frozen lemonade) or the powder mixed with milk, lite Hershey's Syrup and ice cubes (tastes like Wendy's frosty)

Have you used the ISO Pure in broth? I want to buy some and freeze 1 oz batches of homemade broth with the Protein added so it is ready for after my surgery.

Nice I will check it out. I get a brand from Walmart that is pretty good. Body Fortress Advanced whey Protein, I use it with bariatricfoodie.com's Protein Shake recipes.< /p>

I love slim fasts Meal Replacement shake mix I mix milk and a couple cubes of ice and it tastes like a real milkshake

GNC Lean shake in premixed chocolate is the only one I liked because it's not dairy free. The skim milk goes a long way with taste.

[Helli 49]

I can't use milk so I use Water, a little SF pudding, and SF coffee house syrups it is so flavorful and creamy. Totally bariatric Foodie...

Do you have the bariatric foodie cookbook? Is it worthwhile?

I just picked up some of the Isopure zero carb in the glass bottles at GNC- they're cheaper elsewhere! we have a supplement warehouse- i dont know if you do.. but check around.. they're not delicious.. but they're really low cal (1.5) low carb <5 and have about 40g of protein.. they taste sort of like a propel or powerade… just a little less tastey… hope this helps! also tried muscle milk light- it was good, the chocolate was basically like a yoohoo (but better- i dont even like yoohoo HAHA!)
