Worried because I haven't found a protein shake yet.



Recommended Posts

I had a little trouble finding my "shake of choice" too. First of all, I don't really care for the powders, and I tend not to spend the time setting up, using, and cleaning the blender. So I needed a pre-made shake. But most of the shakes I tried were too sweet, or just tasted awful. But then I hit pay dirt. The best shake I've found - by a mile - is Premier Protein, chocolate (Vanilla's no good). But the chocolate is creamy and delicious (at least until you've eaten nothing but that for a few weeks, then anything gets old.) I'm four weeks post-surgery now, so I've been drinking them for 5-6 weeks. They have 30 grams of Protein, 160 calories, and only 1 gram of sugar. I have one every morning for Breakfast, and another at night if I'm short on my Protein intake for the day. You can get them in boxes of 18 at costco. Seriously, give them a try. They saved my butt. Good luck!

unjury makes a chicken Soup powder that I love! Tastes to me like regular chicken broth. You have to make sure you follow the directions and don't mix it with Water hotter then 140 degrees or it will clump and you will throw it away. I make hot Water in my Keurig coffee machine and let it sit for about 5 minutes to get to about 125 - 130 degrees. Add a scoop, stir and enjoy. I even made it for a friend of mine who "hates" Protein Drinks and she didn't know the difference. When you open the jar it even smells like chicken broth.< /p>

Others I like are: Syntrax Nectars Lemonade Stand; Premier Protein pre made in chocolate; Pure Protein Powder in chocolate.

When you try a brand, unfortunately you have to try the different flavors. Example: I HATE Unjury strawberry and Pure Protein vanilla! blech!

Good luck in your quest! :)

PS - Unjury will send you free samples to your doctor's office. They stopped sending them to individuals, but if you call with your doc's info, they will send to you through the doc. (Probably loosing too much money on samples!)

      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.
