Sampling Protein Shakes - Protein Powder Reviews

Tonight my husband and I began sampling Protein Shakes. I can only have nectar, Matrix, and About Time Protein powders, because everything else I've found either contains iodine or is manufactured on the same equipment as shellfish and seafood, and I have a food allergy to shellfish, so yeah. Anyhoo, this was actually the first time I ever tried Protein shake. I was kind of freaked out and scared I wouldn't like it, because, like it or not, I'm stuck drinking this stuff possibly for the rest of my life, and the idea of consuming something you don't like is just, well, bad.

We tried Nectar Lattes Cappuccino, Nectar Lemon Tea, and Nectar Double Stuff Cookie. We both liked the cappuccino and lemon tea, but HATED the double stuff cookie. It just wasn't good at all, at least not to us. Both of us enjoyed the lemon tea the best. I have several other sample packets to try out (like 20), but I'm glad to know that, even if I don't like any of the other protein powders, there are at least two that I'm ok with. :)

(And, in case anyone is interested on the reviews, you can check out my blog. The link is located in my signature. I have a sample packet of just about every flavor that there is of Nectar and Matrix and will be reviewing them all within the next week. The same goes for About Time Protein)

      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.
