Protein suggestions



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!! I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for ready to drink pre made Protein Shakes. I have tubs of Protein, but there's times I need to grab something quick or I'll hit a drive thru and make a bad choice. I'm 4 years out and 40lbs up in weight. I've got to go back to the basics and make better decisions!! I didn't have this surgery to become a failure and go back! So it's time to nip this in the bud, get serious, and take back my health!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all for your time!!! :)

The only Protein shakes I use these days are: Premier Protein ready made shakes. They have 30grams of Protein in each shake, 1 gram of sugar and 160 calories.

They taste great, pack a huge protein punch, are not gritty, require no work on my part other than to shake well before drinking.

They come in chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. You can buy them in bulk at costco or Sam's. You can buy them at Walmart and some Walgreens in small 4 packs.

costco has them on sale occasionally and I stock up. They come in 18 packs at Costco.

These were recommended by my surgeon after I could not tolerate the powdered stuff initially.

Just an idea/option instead of going to the drive thru in a pinch, check your local gas station. I was pleasantly surprised to see that my local gas station (Quik Trip) has ready to drink Premier Protein shakes and a few others in the refrigerated section.

Premier is my favorite as well. If you want Protein in your Water as another alternative, I love Protein2o (70 cals & 15g of Protein in 16 oz. bottle). Go to drinkprotein2o and put in your zip code to find which stores carry them in your area. If that fails you can always order them from Amazon.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
