Any good protein shakes??



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am waiting for an approval for my surgery. I was told my my doc that two weeks before surgery i would have to begin a Protein Shake diet. Now he does offer them there at the office but they are about 120.oo and i just dont want to spend that much. I've been shopping around at GNC, ther are so many Protein powers. can anyone tell me which one to buy?? What about whey designer protein? any advise will help. Thanks:thumbup:

I use Body Fortress, it's a whey Protein Powder. It comes in a huge tub and Walmart sells it for 14.99.

I buy vanilla because it's more versatile. My favorite recipe is 1 cup of milk, 1.5 scoops powder, 1tbsp Peanut Butter, 2 tsp of chocolate sugar free pudding mix and crushed ice.

Like I said, with the vanilla powder you can come up with many recipes. I sometimes use lite O.J and make an orange julius.

i also go to GNC and they have this once called Syntha-6 its really great and taste great 2 .. they also have different flavors i use vanilla so i can mix fruit and stuff but i heard that the Cookies and cream is good and the mocha is great to . it don't have any caffeine . . i like it so far plus the way it works keeps you full longer:thumbup: .. you can also buy it at a Vitamin world .. compare prices . sometimes one store will be cheaper than the other but they both Carry this product .

Isopure & Whey are they best...

Isopure has a strange chalky taste after you finish it but it packs 50 grams of protien for two scoops.

Whey is 24 grams for Protein for one scoop and tastes a lot better...

I suggest going to Vitamin shop, talking with some of the peeople there, though you want something with LOW CARBS and LOW SUGER...which is why isopure is the best option.

Also get a shaker to help you mix it up...mixing it with a spoon will not break down the clups well.

Good Luck,

Hey everyone

I wanted to let you all know that I have tried the 100% Whey Protein powder from GNC in the chocolate and Banana Cream and they are totally tasty.. I used 8 oz of skim milk and just one scoop as it says to do and it was good. They say use Water but I did find it mixes best with the milk.

Anyway I wanted to let everyone know this is what works for me and I hope it helps you!

I do know that GNC right now is having a sale on the bags of this stuff for $10.99 a bag instead of like $16.00 so stock up..

Have and awesome day and I am still very excited surgery day is 9th July!

I'm currently using Muscle Milk Light powder in chocolate mint. It tastes pretty good. I have also tried their vanilla creme and Cookies n creme, but they were a little too sweet for me.

My nutritionist recommended Boost. I love them. You can get them just about anywhere too.

Interesting choice. I was always under the impression that Boost was a product used for putting weight ON a person. I was specifically told not to get it for that reason.

hey, i was wondering if anyones got different results from different Protein Shakes. is the "unjury" Protein shakes better for you and better results? or does any old Protein Shake really do the same? :)

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
