Protein That Taste Good!



Recommended Posts

I'm new here so I'm not quite sure how this works. :) I luv the site!

Does anyone know Protein Shakes that don't taste powdery and that is good to taste?

I would love some input. I'm jus fixing to start my journey. So I'm trying to get myself ready. Thanks in advance for all the help! :)

Protein Shakes in general are gross, I have found that the Isopure Dutch chocolate is tolerable, just my opinion.

UNJURY is not bad at all, I ordered the starter kit first, it comes with many samples and then I ordered larger amounts of my favorites, I buy online. You should try whatever gives you a chance to try samples first.

I will tell you that the Protein Shakes i liked prior to surgery I no longer can tolerate. The two that i use daily are Unjury chicken broth and Syntrax Nectar. You can buy samples at unjury.com and they have other flavors too. I also like Syntrax nectar. I use the kiwi strawberry. I ordered initially from vitalady.com as you can buy individual samples of a variety of different kinds and also other brands. Pre-surgery I liked the milky tasting Protein shakes. I used Atkin's and some of the powders that Walmart carries. Post surgery the milky ones make me nauseated so I can't do them. I could retry them but the thought still makes me feel ill. I usually make my Protein Shake the night before so it is cold. I use a scoop and a half of the Nectar for about 35 grams of protein in about 12 ounces of Water. I like it and use my protein shakes for meals still and am almost 4 months out. I know buy alot of stuff off of Amazon.com but initially didn't want to buy in bulk without sampling first... So good luck

When my husband had surgery, he struggled to find one he could tolerate. He finally found Atkins Advantage (ready to drink). This was on the list approved by our doc. Must specifically be the Advantage line. He loved the strawberry...said it tasted like strawberry quick. There are lots of flavors. Its what I'm using now as well....I'm sick of sweet stuff but I'm doing well with it overall. Hope this helps.

Thank you, yes all of these are helping... Someone else told me Special K has Protein Shakes that were really good too. I do not like milk so I've gotta find something that's not too milky. Plus, I hate chocolate. LOL

So it will have to be strawberry or something fruity maybe.

Im def gonna try some of these suggestions!

The special K Protein drinks don't really have enough Protein. I looked into them. I used to do Atkins but like I said post surgery didn't like them anymore. I would check out vitalady.com she has tons of brands and samples you can try...

I agree. The Atkins were my preference before surgery, but now I gag at the thought. And I bought a BUNCH!!! Big mistake. I need to try the Unjury chicken Soup. I have heard it is really good. I bought Muscle Milk Light, EAS, SlimFast, because they were all pretty good tasting. But post op, they are not as good tasting. So don't buy a lot pre-surgery even if you like them. The bottom shelf of my fridge is still FULL. Thankfully my husband drinks one before he goes to work each day to help me get rid of them.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
