My first RTD Protein shake



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I decided to start testing out RTD Protein shakes.. And yes, I cheated by buying one with more sugar than I thought I should have but it was still HORRIBLE! It has the consistency of pepto bismol and milk of magnesia..

OMG, I just dont know.. I will probably have to add something in them to thin it out.

BTW, it was Bolthouse Farms - Mango Protein Plus..

People rave about Bolthouse Farms smoothies but I don't like them at all! I.tried the mango and also the vanilla chai Protein One and YUCK. What I have done is take the green one and mix it with my vanilla Protein Powder and that was tasty.

My friend uses the vanilla chai one with Cereal in the morning.. I tried a spoonful and it didnt taste too bad.

I will try the green one and some vanilla Protein powder.. That sounds interesting. I also bought the chocolate one (it was BOGO at Krogers) and haven't tried it yet.

I hate to be wasteful so I will mix it with a few things to see if I can salvage the rest of the bottle.

My favorite RTD is GNC's Total Lean Meal Replacement. It's got 25g of Protein and only 6 carbs (2g sugar). I'm not a Breakfast person, so I always drink my breakfast. I literally have an entire cabinet full of protein powders and drinks that I couldn't stomach after surgery. So much wasted money :(

Yes, thats why I am sticking to RTD for now. I didn't want to buy something that will be useless after the surgery. I don't think I can lose with vanilla Protein powder though.

I've seen countless recipes with it so I may just buy a smaller tub.

Boy, I wish I could go shopping in your cabinet!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
