KalelsWifey 318 Posted May 24, 2015 I have been struggling (as many of us do early on) getting in adequate Protein for the day... Getting slightly discouraged I've been talking with my sister who had GB over 5 yrs ago. Explained my frustrations and she reminded me of a a Protein shake that helped her reach goals. I tried it today and I couldn't get enough, far from just a month ago when smelling the Protein powder make me wanna be sick!! 8oz of almond milk, (or any) 1 scoop Protein Powder 2 Tbs of PB2 Cup of ice BLEND * Occasionally a squirter of SF Hershey's chocolate Syrup * It's so good.

beachgal2935 596 Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) @@KalelsWifey Have you tried Premier Protein shakes? They're pre-made and taste delicious. I don't care for any of the powders, even when I use my NutriBullet to mix them. You get 30 grams of Protein in just 11 ounces! I've used them from day 1 to achieve my 63-66 grams of daily protein. I'm eating 3 meals and 2 Snacks which average 12-15 grams of protein each. So far so good. I have my first post-op visits this coming Tuesday. Excited to see my nutritionist as we've become friends. Your shake sounds good. I love PB2 Edited May 24, 2015 by beachgal2935 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheAmberness 11 Posted May 24, 2015 What Protein powder do u use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KalelsWifey 318 Posted May 24, 2015 I use Sure Protein (Walmart) sells it, it's so masked by the PB2 that I don't realize I'm drinking a shake.< /p> @@beachgal2935 I have not tried that. I have heard they can be expensive. Is that true? I'm trying to rely on food for protein but I don't think that'll be possible until I've reached 3-4 months and my pouch has properly healed and not so swollen. I will look into these. Thank you.

pinkie1 36 Posted May 28, 2015 Aussie question "what is PB2" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KalelsWifey 318 Posted May 28, 2015 PB2 is a powdered Peanut Butter that blends really well when making a Protein Shake or a smoothie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparksrn 65 Posted May 28, 2015 I like Premier the best so far and it's the cheapest pre-mixed I've found at Walmart and Sams Club. Krogers also has it. I like the chocolate. I haven't been thrilled with any of the Protein drinks so far but haven't been disgusted by any yet either. I ordered some stuff called Whey-licious from Dr. Hale Nutrition for after surgery because I can get a lot of Protein in a small volume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
