Protein Drinks...good and bad



Recommended Posts

Go to Unjury.com Trust me on this. You can order their samples for $1.75 each, to make sure you like before you spend any real money. Don't do what I did and buy $180 worth of those 42 gram "bullett" Protein Shots only to discover they make you gag every time you look at them!

It only took a maximum of 3 days to get the Unjury every time I ordered it. You have to order it online. Also, it only has 80 calories per serving - 1 lonely carb and NO fat. It's 20 easy grams of Protein in every serving! (No. I don't work for Unjury!) :)

i really like Optifast chocolate---i get it at the dr's office. i mix it with a bunch of ice cubes in the blender--and it's frothy and tastes good! in a pinch, you can take it with you--but it's gotta be cold. "blenderizing" it with ice truly improves the taste and the sensation of getting a real milkshake.

Well since I was in a pinch for lunch I researched a little before lunch. I ended up at smoothie King and got a low carb banana smoothie. I hope I didn't mess up to much here. It has 225 calories, 6 fat, 6 carbs and 35 grams of Protein in the 20oz... not bad, so far very good and filling!

I know it doesn't have all the Vitamins in it but I'll drink my regular shakes tonight.

I'm going to check out unjury.com now - sounds like good products!

Hey, Crystal......You COULD have opted for the cheeseburger, fries and a milkshake, so don't beat yourself up over the smoothie. It was probably one of the best choices you had at the time. We all fail to plan ahead sometimes - as long as we don't make a habit of it, right? It actually sounds like it was pretty healthy, all in all.

Right now as I type this I am drinking a Mango Peach Isopure Protein Water with ice and water... I bought the variety pack off the net and so far my favorite is GRAPE FROST and the one I couldn't even finish was aPPLE MELON...... all others are pretty good, but yes they are sweet and good for your CLEAR stage

20 oz bottle, 40 Protein, and 160 calories.

EAS CarbVantage is my favorite brand of thick Protein shakes (pre-made)

chocolate Fudge followed by strawberry........ don't like their french vanilla.

Lastly........ LOW CARB slim fast in vanilla is pretty good in the blender with a bit of ice and a T of banna sf pudding mixed in.

I've tried Adkins, EAS and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. Unjury is the best by far. Try it with Hood milk (a diluted version that has fewer calories/carbs and more Protein than regular skim). Hood comes in chocolate which only adds 45 calories and 1 extra gram of carbs. With the chocolate Unjury it is AWESOME!

I also bought banana and cocunut flavoring. Just a little drop and it is yummy.

I have already stocked up on a little bit of Atkins, Eas and I just ordered a sample pack of Unjury - I plan on putting that into a blender. I also bought some extract flavors to spice them up a bit (like raspberry , orange). someone had posted Syntrax Nectar - on enjoyhealth.com. You can order a sample pack of that as well. Good luck

My favorite site is BariatricEating.com - BE, Inc. The number one bariatric website for Protein, Vitamins, and success.!

The woman who runs the site is amazing and had the RNY surgery like 7 years ago. She only stocks the best tasting ready to drink (RTD) Protein Drinks along with other best tasting Protein Powder.

You can get sampler packs too.

I just placed a second big order this weekend and can't wait for my delivery.

They were so so so horrible I literally had to throw them away.....what a gigantic waste of time and money (I ordered them through the manufacturing website)

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
