avremy 34 Posted March 31, 2017 Hi allIm 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 - supperWhat shake alternatives are there?Are the protien bars they sell at the gym ok for me? 1 arsiny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bossportsgal 136 Posted March 31, 2017 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mylighthouse 782 Posted March 31, 2017 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. 1 Mary Aane reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YeaMe 246 Posted March 31, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
