AggieSleever 24 Posted June 14, 2013 I think something may be wrong with me... I HATE Protein Shakes. I'm on the 3rd Protein brand, and it's disgusting! My first shake was an EPIC fail as I made it with milk that I hadn't realized had gone "bad". Three gulps in, and I about lost my cookies! Yesterday, I tried a new brand, different flavor, GOOD milk and whil I managed to drink it, all I could think about was how gross it was. And, the thought of drinking another has made me nauseated... HELP! I have GOT to find a way to get all the protein in. I'm still in the pre-op phase, and I'm having surgery in 10 days. My fear is that if I don't like them now, then I'm SURE not going to like them post surgery! ANYONE???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reina_x3 1 Posted June 14, 2013 Special K Protein Shakes are amazing idk if u can have those but if so deff try them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HatheryOnHerWay 603 Posted June 14, 2013 I really don't like hardly any of the powder brands. Try Premier Protein pre-made shakes. You can get them at costco, Walgreens, etc. I think they're decent. 2 ItsMe2033 and VSGayle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mokee 588 Posted June 14, 2013 Get some PB2. This is dry Peanut Butter. Add 2 tbs to shake when making and the peanut butter taste takes over. It makes them tolerable and also gives you more Protein with no fat and low calorie. 1 lizzyshade reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarahj 61 Posted June 14, 2013 Try making them with Water instead of milk. Tend to be a little easier to get down! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieSleever 24 Posted June 14, 2013 Thanks for the tips! I will try them ALL. At this point, all I see the Protein Shakes are good for is brick mortar or torture for prisoners. I feel like such a failure... I'm now worried I won't be successful at this. All because I can't drink shakes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiffanyhoneybee 4 Posted June 15, 2013 Try Unjury strawberry sorbet. I hate Protein and have tried them all. This is the one I can stomach without a problem. Good luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They come in glass bottles.. they cost about $4.00. So worth it though. 40 grams of Protein in each bottle. Kinda taste like Gatorade. I drink it with ice throughout the day. My fave is mixing half blue raspberry half crystal light lemonade! You'll get your protein and Water in. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you dilute the isopure. I have the hardest time getting them down. They taste like Gatorade with gravel. although its clear, it was very hard for me to digest. My nutritionist suggested that I cut it with Water or crystal lite. Ill try it again. I'm 6 weeks out and i tried it last at week 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSGayle 33 Posted June 18, 2013 Premier Protein was my choice too. Smaller amount to drink (11 oz) than the other pre-made ones...and not so sweet. The sweet was really getting to me with some of the others. I also add 3 Tbsp of non-fat dry milk to whatever I can to add Protein.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerseyGirl68 1,172 Posted June 18, 2013 I found the pre-made shakes to taste too sweet for me, and I didn't enjoy them. I used Pure Protein chocolate Frosty powder and often mixed with the above mentioned PB2. LOVED IT. You can also try the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup. It will definitely aid in getting in your Protein and savory instead of sweet. Good luck!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vixynne 695 Posted June 19, 2013 I've started mixing my shakes using almond milk (SoDelicious brand, vanilla flavor, with added protein). I like the creamy texture better than either Water or regular milk. 1 SheWins1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
