Weigh In- Favorite Protein Shakes?



Recommended Posts

I really like Muscle Milk, both powdered and pre made. The powder mixes with Water, which makes it very portable as you can get water just about anywhere and the pre made ones are available at a lot of convenience stores. For the powder I like the vanilla. For the pre made, I like the Vanilla and banana Creame

It really is a very personal taste. You should buy sample packets and try them. I ordered the unjury Protein sample pack and I can't wait to try the different ones. I did the same with the nectar, etc. Presurgery I bought some rice Protein Powder in a big container and HATED IT. I am going to try it again sometime when I am brave (it was bad but I am stuck with it). Do yourself a favor and try samples! Much smarter and cost effective.

Bariatric Advantage is awesome as far as I am concerned. They also carry a Protein Drink called nectar that is YUMMY.

Thank you all! I've ordered a few sample packs and have picked up several at the Vitamin Shoppe! :) I think I'm good- just need to get some unflavored to mix in with my broth. :)

Thanks again- you guys rock!

I tried all of them that met the sugar/protein/calorie requirements both pre and post surgery.

Taste-wise, it was a tie between Muscle Milk Light and Premier Protein. However, with the Premier Protein, I am able to make it the full 6 hours until my next meal. With the Muscle Milk, I felt hungry again after 2 or 3 hours.

Up until March, the chocolate flavor was my favorite. However, now they seem to make the chocolate ones about 5x thicker, so it is a chore just to get it out of the carton. So my new fave is the strawberry Cream. vanilla is decent, but just not quite as good.

I am still pre op but I seem to like the Pure Protein Frosty chocolate 35 grm pre mixed one the best. I tend to mix it with a small amount of coconut Water and a spoonful of natutal Peanut Butter and blend smooth. I will be ordering the Unjury trial packs this week ..... my "plan" (fingers crossed) is to just use the unflavored in things post op ...... or the chicken Soup one. I am a salty more then sweet kind of girl and the thought of all those sweet shakes and bars kind of puts me off .... but as everyone says, who knows whati will like after surgery ..... :)

I have tried Isopure. I gagged trying to drink it, but then I diluted it in a jug of Water and was able to drink it. :)

Chike high Protein coffee. 20gr of protein. I make it w/water and crushed ice in the blender. It tastes just like a coffee frappe (shake) and has the equivalent of two espresso shots so I get my morning 'kick'. And, as a very happy bonus, I've been regular ever since I began using Chike three months ago. My Constipation problem is no more! :-)

        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
