Which protein shakes taste good?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am schedule to be banded on 1/07/2009 and have been thinking that I should start purchasing a Protein Shake. I have no idea which one to buy or where to start. I know my nutritionist did provide a list but I rather learn from you guys.

Thanks

Hi

I was just banded Tuesday of this week. I feel really good so far. But I have a found that the Boost Protein Drinks are really good. They have 15 grams od Protein and only 8 oz in the drink. Plus they have serveral Vitamins in it. I think they are very tasty. Hope this helps.:biggrin:

My favorite right now is Slim Fast High Protein for 15g. I like how it is really creamy like a milk shake. I also like EAS carbcontrol 17g and I also drank Isopure 40g. I think that some protein drinks are better than others but I think it takes some getting used to the taste.

I like the Slimfast High Protein myself. However, you may want to up your Protein grams per drink. Try visiting the vitamin/nutrition store. I've been using Isopure which has 50 grams per 2 scoop serving. I just use one scoop, blend with a Yoplait Fiber one (fiber plus?) yogurt and about 6 ounces of skim milk. I think it comes to about 250 calories, but I only need 2 per day (lunch and dinner) to meet my protein requirements, plus some.

I've also come up with a new favorite...

I'm allowed to have cream of wheat as long as it's pourable. I mix up my cream of wheat (with water), add a scoop of chocolate Muscle Milk (16 grams protein), cool it down with a bit of skim milk and mix in a Splenda. It's almost like a thick hot chocolate. Well.. maybe that's a stretch, but it's not a bad way to get your protein in.

I was banded in June of 08 and one of my favorite things is chocolate Carnation Instant Breakfast mixed with greek yogurt, 2 splendas, a bananna, and skim milk. Mix it up in the blender with some ice and you're good to go. It's very good :laugh:

I like EAS (any flavor) and Atkins, They(Atkins) have a lot of flavors to choose from. Both are very low in carbs and you can get them at Walmart.< /p>

I personally like the muscle milk powder. I think the pre-made bottles are just too think and I have a hard time with those. But the chocolate is really my favorite

      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.
