Shakeology - anyone?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried Shakeology? I really liked the list of green ingredients, but tried the chocolate and it is really thick and sweet. I know someone who is making these but adding in a lot more liquid (2 cups + ice instead of 1 cup). Of course, if I did that I would add unflavored Protein powder.

Anyone with experience???

I tried the chocolate, it tasted FAR from chocolatey. I have a whole bag of it if anyone is interested. One bag minus one scoop. You pay shipping! :) FAR cheaper than buying it from them direct.

I was curious about the green, too - but I'm really gunshy after the chocolate experience.

I've used Shakeology for over a year now. I love the Greenberry with 1/4 avocado, cup of Water with pineapple/coconut dasani flavor and some ice. I also like the chocolate with PB2, banana, 1 cup skim milk, 1/2 cup water, and some ice. I don't usually drink a whole one at a time...way too filling for me but I like them both as a pre-workout meal. I don't love to eat in the mornings but I love to workout in the mornings so a half of a Shakeology works for me.

The tropical is really yummy :) I was drinking it for a few months awhile back... havnt had it post surgery though.... I have a freind who swears by the vanilla..she said it is a lil' more versatile as you can add other flavors! If I recall there is a * bottom of the bag guarantee* so i would go for it if it appeals to you... i did also try greenberry and wasn't especially keen on the flavor but had it with only water....

Thanks all....seems that most people do mix it with other foods .... I will give my other samples a try that way.

      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.

      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.
