Protein Shakes any advice please



Recommended Posts

No matter what type of Protein Shake I try I still get sick at my stomach. I am 11 weeks post op. I have tried them with Water, almond milk, soy milk and skim milk. Any advice ? I eat meat most days only meat or egg. But I am still scared I am not getting enough Protein. I can only eat one small egg or about 2 oz of meat.

I haven't had my surgery yet but I like the tast of Premier Protein shakes. You can get them at costco. They don't taste like chemicals and they are rather thick. My dietician recommended these to me and they are great.

I have found I like the taste of Syntrax Nectar and Unjury the best. That is the two I have been trying to use. After surgery I couldnt use pure Protein anymore. I bought something from GNC that was nasty tasting.

Have you tried mixing chocolate Protein Powder with sugar free instant pudding mix? Add two scoops of powder to the packet of pudding and mix it up... add 2 and 1/4 cups skim milk. whisk together. Assuming you are using Protein powder with 25 grams of protein and 110 calories... the entire recipe has 69 grams of protein and 513 calories. That would make a half cup serving have 128 calories and 17 grams of protein.

Hi, were you not able to tolerate Protein powder after surgery or were you not allowed by your doc?

What's PB2?

It is a powdered high Protein Peanut Butter with 1/3 the fat and calories. I got mine from the hospital where I was sleeved, but I think you could find it online at Amazon, bariatric pantry or other online store fronts that focus on selling to WLS customers. I still have my original container from 6 months ago. It does last a while. I don't use it very often, but when I do it turns a truffle shake into 8 ounces of pure awesomeness. Give it a try!

      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.
