Protein shake recommendations



Recommended Posts

Hi all. Today makes 14 days post op sleeve surgery for me. I've been drinking the premade muscle milks and haven't had any problem with taste or keeping them down. That said, I'm trying to find a no sugar, no or low carb powder. Isopure was recommended to me by my doctor. So far I've tried the strawberry cream and the vanilla and both taste disgusting to me. I'm getting very bad stomach aches from it. I've also tried ISO 100, and I'm having the same reaction. Any recommendations.

Thanks in advance

well thats personally what I use but I have found the banana cream one is the best to me anyway. I add a little PB fit and some Greek yogurt and it makes a great Breakfast

I have been using Premier chocolate It has 160 calories, 1 g sugar, is low fat, and doesn't taste bad! I have also added PB2 to give it a little something different. I also have a bariatric vanilla that I add a bit of coconut milk too. That makes it tolerable. I hope this helps!

What is the flavor of the Premier Protein clear? I also ordered some Isopure unflavored to add to other things.

For some reason it gave me the worst stomach aches after drinking them. I like the idea of adding some extra Protein. Gotta try that as well.

I use Bariatric Advantage. So good and not gritty at all.

Vanilla and chocolate. Then you can add a small amount of stevia to sweeten. I add one packet of instant coffee for my own version of a frapee lol. I haven't found a better Protein. It's a bit pricy but totally worth it.

The Protein C lear comes in fruit punch. Kinda like Kool-Aid Atkins makes one called Lift in Lemon, Berry, and orange. Protein20 makes a few flavors. I drink the grape and cherry. .

my favorite brands are Unjury and Syntrax. I can't taste the Protein in either. Unjury you can only get online on from Unjury's Web site. Syntrax products you can get at a lot of places - both stores and online. It's available through Bariatric Pal's store, in fact.

I couldn't get the Protein down I was using optimum nutrition chocolate, the dietitian gave me a sample of syntax nectar fuzzy navel it is more like a juice and mixed with Water, it was better than using milk and I liked it so I ordered. I hope when it arrives I still like it. I have 2 big containers of protein mix I don't like. Wasted money.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
