Does Anyone Out There Just Not Like Protein Shakes And Don't Drink Them?



Recommended Posts

This sounds good. I am going to some appointments I have tomorrow . Surgery is scheduled October 24. I didn't have a preop diet like some has had yet, I have been eating what I want .I am sure I will be on a preop diet tomorrow and until surgery

I make coffee the night before and put it in the refrigerator. In the a.m. I mix it with chocolate Protein powder. YYUUMM. sometime even a tbsp. of almond butter. Even better.

I am pre-sleeve so I don't if any of that falls within what you can and cannot have post-sleeve (dr. Instructions) but, it just gives a different taste instead of the same ole same ole. :)

I avoid them if I can. I'd rather have "real" food. I did drink one the other day (Premier Protein RTD vanilla from Sam's Club), and I made it through, but it's not my first choice. They're not terrible, they just feel so heavy on my sleeve.

I am with you! I can't stomach any of the Protein. Greek yogurt has been a Godsend! I will try the hot chocolate idea though. :-)

You can also try the cheese sauce...I think injury. If you put it on broccoli it's pretty good. Lastly unflavored Protein in a glass of milk is decent or in a yogurt or cottage cheese. I can ONLY use the Premier Protein from costco. I know that it is pricier, but it tastes good, travels well and is just so darn convenient!

I absolutely hated Protein Shakes and the day I could eat enough food and not have a Protein Shake I stopped and have never had one again. Everything was fine. I tried every trick, the cheese sauce, the unflavored Protein powder, every brand and flavor of shakes, etc. Hated them all. I stopped as soon as I could eat chicken and eggs to get protein. You should be fine as long as you are eating all protein.

I must be a weirdo - I really liked mine but haven't had one since I was able to start on regular food.< /p>

Or is it just me? I'm 2 1/2 months out and I can eat 40- 50 grams of Protein a day with just food...but I really never liked Protein shakes and so I stopped....

Are you kidding?? I love the Protein Shakes by syntax especially when mixed with light soy. Oreo, chocolate truffle, vanilla bean, they are the best. I look forward to 1-2 a day to help out either with Protein needs or when I just don't have the time to make something more solid. There are so many favors to choose from, but again, I am hooked on the sweeter varieties.

Do you get that from GNC? Just wondering if there is a cheaper place to buy. I do not have a Cosco but do have Sams Club in my area.

I order my shakes off Amazon currently. Free 2 day shipping and prices are usually $10 below a place like Vitamin world. Unfortunately, GNC does not carry syntax products. I tried the costco whey powders. They are ok, but I am not a huge fan of them.

If you drink coffee ...

I was told no caffiene of any kind after surgery. Am I the only one who was told that?

      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.
