Ughhh Pls Not Another Protein Shake

[CurvyCakes 269]

Ughhhhh I don't want not another Protein Shake. For the last month or so I have swapped my Breakfast for a Protein shake and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm on day 5 of my pre-op liquid diet and I have had it i don't want not another one. I absolutely loved Chike and now I don't want Chike I don't want Premier Protein just ughhhh...what concerns me is I have to drink them post-op as well what the heck??? Have anyone else absolutely found a couple Protein Shakes they LOVE then find them undrinkable?I'm sitting at my desk looking at this shaker cup thinking not another one ughh!

No one told me that, after surgery, everything tastes sweeter than before. A LOT SWEETER! I have to dilute my Protein packets now or I can't tolerate them. I didn't try Unjury shakes before my surgery, but I love the chocolate one now! It tastes just like chocolate milk. Maybe that will help you post surgery.

It never occurred to me to consume a Protein Shake before I absolutely had to, so I can still handle the occasional Protein Drink.< /p>

I got sick of my favorite shake as well. But, if you add syrups like Torani or Jordan's to your favorites it's like a completely different drink! Raspberry to a chocolate or vanilla? English toffee, mocha, banana, cinnamon. ..the list goes on. AND you can add extracts like orange to vanilla (50/50 bar) or peppermint to chocolate. Hope this helps!

Have you tried any of the syntax nectar powders? They are fruity drinks mixed with Water. In my

Opinion, they taste really good with hardly any aftertaste. Also they're totally different from the milk based Protein Shakes that you're so tired of. Sort of like Crystal Light but a little different. The fuzzy navel flavor and Roadside Lemonade were my favorite. Hope this helps a little with variety. Also, have you bought any of the Torani sugar free syrups? To me, those helped so much. My favorite preop was using unsweetened plain almond milk, some ice, a vanilla Protein Powder, and Decaf coffee crystals (I found little individual ones that are little packets), and a splash of vanilla flavored torani Syrup. Reminded me of a Starbucks drink, but still on our plan. The syrups can usually be found at HomeGoods, TJ Maxx, etc for about $6 or so per bottle. Hope this helps give you an alternative to the plain old boring shakes.< /p>

Amen to that! I just drink Water now as all other flavored drinks taste too sweet for me too.

And I was just going to ask how you're doing?? Hope these great suggestions help!! Talk to you soon!

I was going to suggest syrups too... wal-mart carries a few flavors of Torani, found the best selection at World Market (if you have one near you)... Bed, Bath and Beyond carries Skinny Girl syrups...picked up a pomagranate on my last visit...will be trying soon!

also this website has recipes available to "mix it up"

Good luck

I use almond milk for my Isopure shakes. I alternate vanilla, chocolate and strawberry Protein. I also ad a little ice and with the chocolate PB2, which is a dried Peanut Butter that has low fat/carbs. I can see myself getting sick of them too. I still have 9 days of the pre-op liquid diet left. Good luck and thanks everyone for the ideas.

Try Unjury chicken broth flavor. It is a great alternative to the sweet shakes.< /p>

Torani sugar-free salted caramel mixed with premier chocolate is good too

I am so afraid of getting burnt out on protein shakes that for post-op I bought the Unjury unflavored powder to mix in with my SF kool-aid or crystal lite. There is only so much chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry a person can take. lol
