I officially HATE protein shakes!



Recommended Posts

I hate them too. I drink 1/2 EAS dark chocolate with my morning pills and the other half at some point during the day. That's all I can tolerate. I am trying to get my Protein from somewhere, anywhere else. I bought that Protein Shake book too. While it gives you good ideas, ugh just the thought of another shake makes me gag.

I'm trying the nectar brand shakes. I honestly like Fuzzy Navel. At Vitamin shop, and some stores have single packs so you can try the different varieties.

I have a Protein shake to start most every day. Primarily I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate Splendor, skim milk and ice. To change it up I add banana, PB2, or Torani sugar free Salted Carmel Syrup. I also use Chike coffee Protein Powder. Chike mixed with chocolate Splendor makes a great Mocha Flavor. Some of the Syntrax Nectars are good, I prefer Fuzzy Navel

I rarely have a pre made Protein Shake but when I do it is Premier Chocolate or vanilla. I found that the shakes I make myself are much better tasting

I chucked all the Protein Shakes in the garbage! All the huge containers of loose Protein mixes, all of it! Ugh disgusting all of them, every single one I tried... plus they made me too full I wouldn't eat a single thing. I got Protein Shots. They are 2.3oz the same size of an energy shot. Chug it down and be done with it. 32 grams. That's the only way I can do it. And I lost 120 pounds and just at about 10mths so apparently the protein shakes weren't a must. Tweek when needed to fit your own needs :)

Which Dr. gives these shots. This sounds like a plan. Do you do them yourself? How often are the injections?

I think shes talking about the shots like you would get at a bar.. not needles. Like a 5 hour energy.

I cannot stand Protein shakes! I've tried everything and end up gagging in disgust! It also makes my mouth dry and my tongue feels coated and furry. It only happens when I have the Protein Shakes. At least that means I'm getting Water in!

I agree putting them in the freezer is the ticket. I just tried it for the first time right now and it was like drinking a chocolate shake. I used Premier Protein.< /p>

I have tried quite a few Protein Shakes. I found out about nectar Protein shakes and I have really enjoyed those. They taste a lot like fruit juices and they go down easy.

Try adding a product I got from GNC called PB2. Its powder form Peanut Butter flavor. I couldn't take the protien skakes either until I added this to it and now they are amazing with chocolate protien shakes! Only $4 elsewhere its $9. Try it and good luck!!!!

Try Zeal for Life protein! The vanilla is wonderful. You can mix with juice or milk. I especially like it with acai berry juice. I like it best blended with ice but no ice was great the first few days post op.

Zeal can be ordered online....zealforlife website.

hate them myself. I didn't go through this surgery and lifestyle change to subsist on Protein drinks and even just thinking about it nauseates me...except for the Chike coffee shake. That shake is pretty freaking awesome (just know there are 2 shots of real espresso in each packet) but even that shake, I can only tolerate once a week at most...

For those who bought the book, The Bariatric Foodie Guide to Perfect Protein Shakes, what are your thoughts on it? I am thinking about buying it.

        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
