Best tasting protein shakes



Recommended Posts

Hi all! I'm a newbie to this forum and have just started my road to surgery. Right now I'm on my pre-op diet and need to lose 15-25 lbs. I've been trying different Protein Shakes, but haven't found one I like quite yet. I've tried pure Protein in the chocolate flavor (I've liked this the best so far), muscle milk light in the chocolate flavor (didn't like it at all!), and Atkins Advantage in the dark chocolate flavor (this one was alright). Any other suggestions for filling/good tasting shakes? Are they all pretty "blah" over all? Thanks in advance for the help! :)

My favorite are the Atkins shakes. Also, GNC has a lean Protein Powder that is fairly good.

I like Designer whey, but I don't think it is 100% whey isolate like they tell you to get. I haven't really found one I "like" at all because I have to mix them with water.....its more like which one can I down without gagging...I don't know what I will do when I have to drink it slower.....hope you find one that is tasty......if so let me know please

Unjury and Atkins are really good! I use EAS a lot too and sometimes slim fast carb control shakes! I had to start mixing it up because you can get tired of one brand if you use it a lot. I like to just drink skim milk too. Best of luck to you! :)

Baratric Pantry has a bunch of different sample packs you can order. You can order one from Unjury too. This is how I found my favorites. I like Syntrax Nectar chocolate Truffle and Syntrax matrix Mint Cookies and Cream for a change. I also like the Unjury. They have a chicken Soup too that is great for post-op.

Thanks for all of the suggestions, everyone! I really appreciate it. I did some research on the Syntrax Nectars and they seem to have great reviews and a variety of flavors. I'm going to give it a try and see how I like it! Thanks again! :)

Wow! Got my shipment from bariatric pantry. Made the matrix mint cookie shake with milk, omg! It is so tasty and a lot less fat than the Atkins. Thank you worm for the suggestion. I feel like I'm cheating by drinking this :)

      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.
