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)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
