Different Protein Drink Question...



Recommended Posts

Ok I know im supposed to consume 60 to 70 grams of Protein per day and after surgery thats gonna be tough sooo is it better to drink shakes that have 40 grams of protein per 20 ozs OR drink those little shots thatare like 40 + grams per 3.5 ozs?

I could barely stand those Protein Shots even though they sounded like a great idea. I've had them 2 or 3 times, and I don't think I'll do that again. I think some of them might have questionable Protein sources too, so be careful reading your labels.

In our options class we were told the Protein Shots were the wrong type of Protein.< /p>

Those Protein shots are collegan Protein which is made from boiled cow hides.

It's best to get your protein from a high quality whey protein isolate.

The nectar Protein Drinks are good, you mix them with Water and it almost tastes like kool-aid

The Premier Protein shakes (RTD) are the best in my opinion. They are 30g Protein each. i could not stand any of the powdered ones.

A word of caution - Even though the nectar line is fruit flavored, it has a milky appearance when it's mixed with Water. It also tends to foam so it can be a bit off putting. I think it's probably best diluted with more water than is indicated on the package and doctored with something to boost the fruit flavor. I think I'm going to try the grapefruit one over crushed ice.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
