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

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
