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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
