Does anyone have any recommendations concerning a "GOOD" Protein shake? :confused2:

Thanks.......

My boss gave me this stuff Bodybuilding.com - Jay Robb Egg White Protein - 24g Protein Per Ounce! On sale now!

vanilla flavor- I mix with o.j. and ice in blender - it taste like an orange julis (sp) It doent' have the icky taste unjury has - I have only tried the vanilla - but it's good 24 grms protein 120 calories ... I wish I had it before surgery - I don't use protien drinks often - only after fills or if I am low in protein for a day -

With the vanilla - you can add so much to it to make it taste different..

But that's 120 just for the Protein powder, right? We'd have to add the calories of the OJ, too. How many oz. of juice do you add in?

Light OJ 50 calories for 8 oz and some ice - total 170 calories and it taste good - I mean good - doesn't have any Protein Drink taste - I had Unjury when I had surgery and no matter what I added to it - it always had that smell and taste - I have medifast banana shakes too and even those have the funny taste - Personally I really really like this mixed with oj - you could mix it with yogurt and some frozen fruit - 24 grms of protein is alot. Yesterday I was short on my protein so I had this for my Breakfast today.

Thanks for your support and words of advice, friends. Yeah, I wasn't really saying I need a fill because I can eat a whole piece of pizza but I do think it's an indication since I wasn't able to eat that much last week--especially the crust or other bread. But I'll watch it and see how things go.

I had the worst weekend (eating wise) that I've had since I was banded. Just horrible. I could list the reasons but it's not really important. Reasons tend to be excuses for me. Anyway, I'm trying to get back on track. The scales were up 5 lbs this morning since Saturday morning. Argh. But I exercised after work and have stayed off the sweets today so I'm doing better. Ate too much for dinner but I did better than the last 2 days for sure. Sometimes it's just baby steps for me.

Have a great week everyone!

Well met & worked out with my trainer for the first time today - It was good - did legs and arms then sit ups on a ball - (he held my knee) then this machine where you do pull ups and something else using your body weight.

Then he had me do 20 minutes on the treadmill - 4 incline 2.5 and told me not to hold on... He said it's not about how fast you walk but the intenstity..

So I did 1hr & 20 minutes at the gym tonight - The only thnig that is a little disconcerning is that I am not wore out like I ususally am - I usually just do the treadmill 3.5 miles in 51 minutes and I am sweating like a pig and beat by the end - my muscles hurt a bit and I did break a sweat on the treadmill - well tomorrow I will just to the treadmill and meet with trainer on Wed - Really like the guy - he is nice...

Well I am hungry gotta go cook talk to you all later

Mine's single but has a gf so i guess not single in the real sense - but not married :tt2:and is 10 yrs younger and a bodybuilder (I don't know if he still competes - i googled him and didn't seen anything recently - but got tons of info on him from an interview he did back in 03 - NY Airforce - engineer - has 2 kids one grown and in the airforce the other 11 yrs old lives in oregon or washington. I really don't think I am his type - I could develope a crush on him -(can you beleive a 53 yr old woman with a crush - what am I in High School - well my brain is sometimes):blushing: he gave me a hug at the end of the work out = I signed up for 2 x a week for 1 month - How often do you work out with your trainer...

I have an appointment for my consult with the surgeon! That's the good news. The bad news is that's it a month from now.

But it's the first real step to actually getting the surgery after all this research and thinking about it.

Thanks for the info on the protein powder, Janet. 24g is right up there and makes it possible to get the recommended daily dose of protein. I am compiling info on different protein powders for when I need to do my liquid pre-op and post-op. I just gag at the thought of drinking Protein Shakes but think I can do it if there is no taste. Again, thanks

I like EAS Carb Control, I't around 100 calories for around 20 grams of Protein. Sometimes I drink it straight and sometimes I blend a little fruit in, ice, Benefiber.....They have 2 kinds of chocolate, and I like them both.

      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.
