what protein shake

[Sherry Wigal 0]

i'm getting closer to my surgery. i'm trying to deside on what Protein Shake to get.

I buy the premade just because I think they taste better, however they are more expensive ($15-18 for 12). I LOVE the chocolate Premier Protein. They have 30g of Protein, 1g sugar, and 6g carbs.

Sherry ... I too LOVE the Premier Protein/Chocolate shake. I just tried the Premier Protein Strawberries & Cream, and it's pretty good too ... but chocolate is my favorite. I also bought some Isopure Protein drinks .. they came in a variety pack of 12 bottles. I only tried one just to see what it was going to taste like. It was pretty good too, but there are a lot of choices ..so you just have to make sure you don't get something that you're not going to like. I also have a huge container of whey Isolate Protein powder, made by BODY FORTRESS. Two scoops is 60 grams of Protein. I add skim milk to it and ice and blend it with my Ninja Blender. I have the chocolate, and it's good too. I was confused about what to try also. I got a list of items from my Nutritionist and that helped. Also asking questions like this here is probably one of the best ways to get information about everything.

My surgery is next week ... April 30th ... my 59th birthday!!!! What a great birthday present!

Good luck with finding the tastiest Protein shakes ... there are some good ones, and if you use your imagination ... some of them really do taste like a real milkshake!!!

In the event you think Protein shakes are as disgusting as I do, I have had success mixing the powdered version with almond milk (I don't love regular milk) and greek yogurt with a little PB2. To me it tastes less chalky and you can decide on the consistency. If you freeze the yogurt and half the milk, you can blend everything together and it tastes like a milkshake.

The problem is you may like them now but not after surgery so don't buy too many, like I did! I am 4 weeks out today and still can't tolerate them. It's carnation instant Breakfast SF WITH 1% organic milk and/or Isopure clear alpine punch diluted with Water for me to date. I hope to be able to use the shakes again but they just don't agree with my new tummy...
