Best protien shakes?



Recommended Posts

Hello...

Can anyone recommend a good protien shake that is low is sugar?

Sugar is one of my Migraine triggers and I find a lot of these shakes are very high in them.

Thanks!

This is the million dollar question! There are a lot of options out there and a lot that are sugar free or low sugar. Your best bet is to check out the nearest health food store with a good return policy because it can get expensive trying Protein Powder. I returned a few that made me feel sick and thank goodness I could cuz some are really expensive. Good Luck to you- I think finding a good Protein Shake has been tough for a lot of us. Some good brands to start your search are: Thorne, Metagenics, Vega, and Jarrow.

Good question I'm pre op. I have Migraines too. I started on Protein shakes 1 month ago. Had pre op class today. This was what My Nut recommended

Body fortress

Myoplex light

Premier shakes found at costco

Isopure

The class was about reading the Protein shake labels. Looking for high protein and low sugar. Also dehydration can triggers headache so getting Water in. Hope this helps.

Congrats

Matrix is ok but I haven't found one that I really like a lot. I would like one without any flavor at all and no sweetness. Thoughts?

Premier Protien at Sam's. They are 30 gms of Protein - 1 gm of sugar - 160 cals. Already mixed so tugs at my lazy side too. It is getting easier to stomach the shakes the farther out I get from surgery. (6 months out now)

Unjury. Pure Protein isolate (the good stuff) no sugar. You can order sample assortment online for under 20 bucks. chicken Soup is nice for a change especially early out if cold drinks are hard to tolerate.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
