Protein shakes... Help!



Recommended Posts

I tell everyone about the one that I use. Its wheybolic 60 by GNC.

It dissolves relatively easy. Doesn’t have that gritty weird feeling, nor does it tastes like crap. I had a little extract and use Light vanilla soy milk and to me it tastes like cake batter.

For powder I use Optimum Nutrition. For pre-made shakes I really like the EAS brand. They are low carb/high Protein, very tasty and affordable. I prefer the chocolate fudge flavor.

I use Unjury Protein - I love the chocolate I add milk and warm it up and taste like hot cocoa and also the vanilla is great! I normally put some ice in a blender with a scoop of vanilla ( you could use the choc also), cup of lactose fat free milk and add a teaspoon of instant caffeine free coffee blend it up and yummers!

There is a thread that rates the Protein shakes from Excellent to Terrible on this forum with a sticky at the top of the Protein Powder page. I love Optimum Gold Standard Mocha Cappuccino, tastes like Starbucks..yum! I have to second nectar as well, the fuzzy naval is what you should go with from them. Get a variety of flavors so you aren't stuck with sicky sweet flavors for 6 weeks. I got 2 sweets (Optimum Mocha Cappuccino & Lean Dessert chocolate Coconut) 1 fruity (Nectar Fuzzy Naval) 1 salty (Unjury Cicken Broth) and 1 unflavored (Unjury Unflavored) to put in Jello and pudding and Soup. Good luck!

Oh and you can get them online, I used AllStarHealth.com for everything except my Lean Dessert because they didn't have the chocolate coconut flavor.

I really like the Syntrax Nectar flavors: chocolate Truffle, strawberry Mousse, Vanilla Bean Torte. I didn't care for their other fruit-like flavors. I also recently found that I like the Fit Frappe Mocha Protein Powder (mixed with water). A good unflavored powder that I use is from Isopure. I like to mix a scoop of the unflavored with a scoop of the Fit Frappe for a good 30-ish grams of Protein Shake.< /p>

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
