GNC Protein Shake suggestions?



Recommended Posts

It's so funny because everyone is SO different! I DO use the Unjury unflavored Protein in sugarfree, fatfree instant pudding (I double up on the protein, so I get 15 grams per 1/3 cup serving).

But I am still sold on the belgian chocolate whey protein isolate powder I get from Amazon.com (with free shipping). Mixed in just Water, it just tastes terrific at 21 grams of protein per scoop in 6 ounces of water. (and sometimes I'll add 1 1/2 scoops if I've been unable to get all my protein in during the day) One shake mid-morning and one mid-evening do a body good!!

Now, if you want to talk nasty, I really have yet to find a canned shake that doesn't tast tinny--yuck! BUT CONVENIENT, I'll grant you! :)

I bought some of the GNC Protein Shakes - they have a variety pack. They have 300 Calories and 50 grams of Protein and a plethora of Vitamins. They are VERY filling - one shake keeps be full for about 5-6 hours. I am drinking a chocolate one now and it tastes pretty good. I also drink the Isopure clear drinks to keep up the variety. I hear costco has a Protein Shake that is pretty tasty as well. I haven't tried that yet.

Isopure is sold by the each or by the case at GNC and The Vitamin Shoppe, individually they are quite expensive but it beats buying a case of stuff that makes you gag.

I have tried the Alpine Punch (like the best), Pinapple-Banana-Orange (liked it originally but came to not like it unless it had Crystal Light in it).

I also tried the Blue Raspberry and could not finish it.

I use pink or yellow lemonade Crystal Light.

I strongly recommend the Muscle Milk Lite too, the chocolate Mint does not sound that great but it is GREAT, it tastes like a Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie in milk.

      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.
