Protein Shake Questions

[MOMMY2MGM 49]

I am in the process of trying to find a shake that I like. I have never liked chocolate milk or milk for that matter. I am waiting for my surgery date and will need to do my preop diet which includes shakes, then I need them after my surgery. So far I have tried Premier Protein (strawberry cream) I can only drink about half before it makes me want to barf. jay Robb (strawberry flavor) is just yucky. I got the Unjury in sorbet and chicken Soup flavor I just haven't tried it yet. I need something that will taste fruity. Can I add frozen or fresh fruits to my shake? Won't that increase the sugar and calories? HELP? Any advice is much appreciated.

After my surgery I could not stomach the Protein Shakes. My saving grace was GENEPRO. It will mix in anything hot or cold. It has 30g Protein. The serving scoop size is small. I would mix it with crystal light, or Soup broths when on liquids and in creamy Soups later. When I got to soft food I put it in mashed potatoes and cream of wheat. For some reason I do stomach shakes again now. But Genepro was fantastic during the post surgery weeks.

Also pre surgery I used Bariatric Advantage orange. It tasted like a cream sickle.

I researched the GENEPRO, sounds like the best option.

You can also buy vanilla shake powder and add 2 tbsp of any sugar free Jello powder to make any flavor Protein Shake you want!

I love, love, love, the synthrax fuzzy navel and caribbean cooler. With unsweetened vanilla almond milk OR this new milk- fairlife skim it has 13g Protein, 6 carbs, and 80 calories. These powders have NO powder scent or flavor. And I gag when I smell the regular ones !!! So good. Get some samples - bariatric pantry dot com. They have lemonade and ice tea ones for Clear Liquids too!!

Thanks for the ideas. I do like the way Bariatric Advantage chocolate tastes, think I will try a pudding when its time. I am pre-op, so trying to find something good, I will look up GENEPRO. I just got the chocolate jay robb and it does not taste much like anything, want to see what agrees with my stomach. Any other ideas are appreciated. Good luck to everyone

Syntax nectar is like koolaid...comes in grape, cherry. Lemonade, iced tea, peach, orange and apple flavors (probably even more). And all very yummy. There are also several other Protein powder options out there besides chocolate.....cake batter, vanilla, banana, piña colada, cupcake, coffee, etc. You can add various Torani or Davinci syrups to Vanilla Protein for almost unlimited flavor options...... Hazelnut, almond, raspberry, gingerbread, pumpkin pie, English toffee, etc. Muscle Milk, Quest, Syntrax and BSN Syntha 6 are all brands I like.

As for GENEPRO, it is a highly modified molecule put out by a company that also sells "male enhancement" and "miracle" performance supplements. I have yet to find any independent research study that supports the manufacturer's claims. I consider it just another fad like so many failed weight loss pills and supplements. I'd rather stick with products that contain real protein.

I too am a Syntrax Nectar fan. The fuzzy navel is like a light refreshing orange julius. It's fantastic mixed with Water and served over ice. I also have the wild cherry, apple ecstasy and Roadside Lemonade flavors. They all taste a ton better than any chocolate or vanilla powder I've used. I recommend them to everyone I encounter. They're amazing. And you can call them and they'll send you free samples. Their number is on their website.

My program fee included Bariatric Advantage Protein Shakes. I am NOT a fan of all the fruity flavors, i prefer real food flavor so I ordered it myself chicken broth and unflavored in Unjury which i love.....Anyway i can you send you the many fruit flavors that I have left over. Just message me ur address. If u like them, send me the postage cost back.
