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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
