BEST protien shake option



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am looking for recommendations for the best Protein Shake out there. I don't care if it is pre-mixed or not. I have looked at powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, but it seems like people are saying that though the Protein is good, it doesn't have any other Vitamins or minerals. I am looking for the best most well rounded option. Low carb, high quality protein, Vitamin and minerals. Cost isn't a huge issue, mostly looking for high quality. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you.

I like Premier Protein as well the chocolate is my favorite. I don't like the vanilla personally. The container is closable too so it can be re used it saved I mean and it's good for you with 30 grams of Protein 5 carbs and 1 gram of sugar I believe.

Thanks all, premier Protein is what I currently drink and I agree, great taste and great macros. I just wondered if the Protein not being a whey isolate mattered or not?

I think my nut told me today that whey isolate only means it's disolvable and Water soluble

Primier Protein offers 30grams of Protein in an 11 oz bottle. Made me nauseous after surgery. 5 weeks post now and can drink it again. If you go to the website they offer various recipes. I just made the pumpkin shake with a bottle of vanilla Premier Protein and it was great! They have an apple pie recipe using apple sauce. I don't add any additional sugar.

Inspire protein powders are also a great choice if you want new flavors. Peanut Butter cup is good.

I really like Inspire Protein powder. They mix very easily, extremely low carb, 20 grams of protein per shake. They don't have that protein aftertaste and not gritty in texture. Many different flavors. Also, the Inspire is very gentle on my stomach.

I also like the Premier Protein.< /p>

Having a slight freak out. Im 11 days out from sleeve surgery. I've been using the GNC total lean 25 Protein powder and it didn't occur to me that it had a lot of carbs. My NUT approved it. But it has 17g of carbs and 3g of sugar and 25g of Protein per 2 scoops (serving size). Im reading comments on here about protein and now im scared it's going to hinder my weight loss. I've been trying to get 3 down a day but it's hard. Doesn't help that it's gross. It's hard for me to aquire these things at the moment. Im unemployed and my family helps me. My sister buys most of the stuff i need. I don't want to bother her again. If my NUT says it's ok should i just keep with it and finish what i have?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
