Spiru-Tien Protien Mix



Recommended Posts

So me and hubby went to GMC and got two big things of protien mix we got vanilla and chocalate and two shaker cups, We also went to Walmart to get the sugar free popsicals and sugar fee Jellos and vegies and fruits and chicken and some cute portion controlled bowls. We got home and tried the Protein mix he tried on kind me the other. Let me tell you not the best taste in the world it left a residue on my lips not so plesent. Anyone have any suggestions of good tasting protien drinks? I haven't started my pre op diet yet but i wanted to see what my days are gonna be like and im not too excited lol.

I have been using the Isopure Dutch Cholocate. I was on the vanilla first then kind of got sick of that and switched to the cholocate. I make my shakes with 2% milk, I don't like the shakes but I have to have them so I have been tolerating them. You are so right about leaving a residue on you lips - I hate that !!! I just bought a different brand (I forgot its name) I have not tried it yet. I think all the Protein Drinks are going to taste like crap, some a bit better than others but in general I don't think they are all that tasty!!! I always look for the shake that has the highest Protein per spoon full.

Well atleast I'm not alone lol. I'm gonna look online and see if they have sample Protein drinks before I go out and spend the cash so I can drink something that taste at least kinda good. And yeah it was like chalky I mixed mine with Water because every one said no milk so is it ok to mix milk?

I have been getting my Protein drinks from Drugstore.com and they are awesome with returns. I ordered Protein Shots that were the most discusting thing I ever drank, they tatest like rotten prune juice - seriously they were nasty. I returned them and they gave me full credit.

I have only mixed my Protein with milk - 2% or fat free milk. You get the extra protein from milk. My Dr. requires a minimum of 64 grams of protein a day. I try to get 75 - 80 grams per day.

Why are people saying no milk w/protein shakes ???

I like the Oh Yeah! Premade Protein shakes. They have several flavors. I get them at The Vitaman Shoppe. Also another premade called. RTD51. It's 51 grams of Protein. I like the chocolate.

You just have to try a few until you find something you like.

Watch out with those shots, their Protein is incomplete.

I love the Syntrax nectar powders. The Fuzzy Navel is good and more like juice. The chocolate truffle with unsweetened almond milk is great too.

Check return policies from your stores. The Vitamin Shoppe told me that I could return my powder if I didn't like it!

Just with Water. I like to add a little mio tangerine and keep it ice cold. I'm going to try to mix it with some kinds of crystal light. I'm going to try some of the other flavors and ordered a variety pack.

      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.
