Best Protein Powder EVER!



Recommended Posts

I ordered Lean Desserts chocolate Coconut and WOW...it's amazing! Not only does it taste like a milkshake, it's thick and creamy like one. I blended it up with milk and ice in my blender and it's literately just like a yummy milkshake. I'm going to try it again after surgery and make sure it still works then I may buy more flavors! Yum!!

You mean that awful Protein taste is not there? I can hardly stomach any of these shakes anymore. Even the so called unflavored is awful.

Don't be surprised if you can't handle it creamy right after surgery when you move off Clear liquids. When there is literally no room in your stomach due to swelling, most people want shakes as thin as possible. Just don't blend it if it bothers you too much and just use the shaker bottle, then once you get further along, blending works fine. The blender aerates the shake adding alot of air (thats what makes it creamy and fluffy) and air in your stomach is extemely uncomfortable right after surgery - and it bloats your little sleeve. After a few weeks, and as the swelling goes down, it will get easier, I promise.

You are gonna be surprised as to what it takes to make you feel stuffed!

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow!

Any of the old timers: is this the kind of Protein we can have. Looked it up on line and I don't think it is the whey isolate. But then again maybe I just didn't find it.

That's a good question, I read others reviews it and bought it without looking at the type of Protein. I hope so because there is no bad taste at all, it's so good! I'd love to hear people's thoughts on that!

I am pre-surgery but I looked for a low carb, low sugar with high Protein and good taste. I actually found one, it is called Low Card SRO. I got the shakes have 0 carbs and sugars with 20 grams of protein. I got strawberry and it had a good tast. The price wasnt horrible for the amount that you recieve. Hope this helps.

Be careful with this, your taste buds change a lot and what tastes good pre surgery may not even be tolerable post. Good luck!

I don't find the few types I've had to smell at all. When I wasn't pregnant I drank isofemme vanilla and chocolate. But I bought the exact brand (super store) strawberry whey and it is really good!

It's cheap has 26g of Protein per serving 1 gram of sugar and really low carb. Tastes like an insane Breakfast to me. I mix it with unsweetened almond milk.

      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!
