RTD Protien (Ready to Drink)...Rants & Raves?



Recommended Posts

Hi I was banded July 18th and have been doing fairly well. I am a teacher/coach which means I now work like 13 or 14 hours a day, which is good and bad. I am so busy, that I am not sitting around eating or being tempted to snack or "graze," but I ran out of the Ready to Drink Protien shots I bought from the doctor. They are called "Fresh Start" liquid Protien Energy in Wild berry and each one contains 42 grams of protien, 0 grams of sugar and 136 calroies and is infused with all the B Vitamins. It is not the best thing I have ever tasted, but the whole thing is only 2.8 ounces. Three gulps and bye-bye protien concerns :thumbup:

I was just wondering what other kind of low cal/high protien shots are out there, let's face it, chances of me coming home, getting out the magic bullet and mixing a shake are pretty slim right now, I would say it is even a bit of a stretch to mix powder with a shaker. I mean well, but I am soooo done when I get home. (I teach Freshman and Junior English...or at least try to).

I researched some of the existing posts and went to this site Protein which is sold out of everything I want to order. So suggestions of brands, web sites, flavors...whatever. All I am looking is something quick and painless.

Thanks in advance for your responses!

Hey there.. GNC sells the Protein bullets .. I personally can't tolerate them they taste like fruit flavored feet to me.. I also work long hours but I bought a magic bullet for my desk and make my shakes at the office. I am sure being a teacher makes it tougher not having your own "space" but I just thought I would mention it. I try and only have one shake a day or every other day. I find I get hungry quickly so I prefer to eat most of my protein. Good luck!

      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.
