Protein shakes:(



Recommended Posts

Help! I am one week out from surgery and today my Protein Shake is making me gag! I am using Isopure Dutch chocolate. It is way too sweet. Can't do the strawberry at all. It is even sweeter! Please veterans, what are some good tasting Protein drinks! I am generally not a picky person!

I do Water down my shakes because they are too sweet. To my understanding it doesn't affect the Protein at all

I'm another Premier Protein fan. You can get them at Walmart, Sam's, and costco I know, and I would bet other places have them too. I loooove the chocolate, tolerate the vanilla, and loathe the strawberry.< /p>

I am 10 months out and still enjoy the Premier shakes. I love the chocolate, vanilla and strawberry but now they have to be very cold to drink them. Not so much at the beginning. I put them in the freezer for about 10 minutes prior to drinking them. They are a good Meal Replacement. Not always filling but they are healthy

Premier Protein all the way!

$25 for a 18 pack at costco or Sam's Club. 30 grams of Protein in each 11 ounce serving.

If you want something non-sweet, try Unjury's chicken Soup Protein (just Google it - the auto-linking feature with Unjury here makes it impossible for me to link you directly). If it sounds good, order a couple single serve packets before you commit to a bigger canister.

Isopure is the only thing that ever made me gag. Jay Robb and Bariatric fusion were all pretty gross, too.

Premier, Syntrax nectar, Syntrax matrix and muscle milk have all been really good. But everything was too sweet for me, too. I dilute premier 1/2 and 1/2 with milk and use twice as much Water or milk to mix the powders.< /p>

I also mixed unflavored powder with every kind of broth and cream Soup I could find to totally get away from the sweet. Dilute, blend and strain the dream Soups while in liquid stage.

I love Chike. They even have a coffee flavored one, along with all their other delicious flavors. I actually look forward to drinking them. I add ice to the blender and make them all shake style.

FYI, the coffee flavor is cheaper on Amazon than on the Chike Nutrition website.

I also like the premiere Protein in vanilla and chocolate. In the beginning (I am 7 wks post op) and pre op they were to sweet for me so I mixed them with 4oz of 1% milk. Made them easier to drink.

Now I use one for lunch pretty much everyday just by themselves.

      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.
