Protien shake replacements



Recommended Posts

Hi all

Im currently 3 months post op and am feeling great , ive lost 66pounds and feel amazing. Obviusly weight loss has slowed down and i need to work harder to see results.

I cant stand the taste of milk and have been forcing down protien shakes for ages, recently ive been slacking off and i think its time to find an alternative. I try to have as much protien as i can during the day i.e. yogurt for Breakfast, chicken and meat for lunch - supper

What shake alternatives are there?

Are the protien bars they sell at the gym ok for me?

I love the Power Crunch Protein Bars. Taste like Cookies. I also switch up my meals to not have the same thing over and over. You need to shock metabolism. I think. I switch up Protein like adding eggs, fish, etc.


Thanks Nancy

Congratulations on your weight loss!

As far as a shake alternative, have you tried an unflavored Protein Powder? I have used Unjury and Isopure, and they are really a great alternative to shakes, because you can mix them into drinks and/or foods such as yogurt, cottage cheese, etc.

The powder mixes well into Crystal Light, Powerade Zero, or, my favorite, Decaf iced tea. I like the fact that it will help me get my Protein up to 90-100 grams a day, which has been the magic number for me dropping the weight over the last few weeks.

You might want to give it a try.

I can totally relate. I'm only 6 weeks out and totally tired of ALL my Protein choices at this point. I'm a Premier Protein fan, though it is a Liquid Protein shake, but premade. I can't find a Protein Powder I can tolerate - flavored or unflavored. I just bought some Quest Bars and they are really good. Most are around 160-190 calories (which is really low for a protein bar), 4 net carbs and 21 grams of protein. I eat 1/2 before I go to the gym at lunch and 1/2 for my afternoon snack. They are a little pricey at $2.15, but I need them to keep my protein levels up. So from the Protein Shake and Protein Bar, I get in 50 carbs.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
