Protein !! Mixes/Shakes
I'm 10 days post op (VSG) and feeling pretty good. A few tender spots but other than that not bad. The only problem i have right now is the protein mix. I'm having trouble drinking them, Not the feeling of being full.. But the flavor itself. I purchased Ru-Tein powder from my surgeons office prior to my surgery to prepare. It has to be the worst flavor ever !!. Looking for a shake/mix to replace it. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
I heard from a friend that premier protein is good and high in grams, But i don't have a sams club or costco membership... And that seems like the only local place to get them??
HI, I am 4 days post-op, I know some people drink the premire shakes from Walmart but I was told the shakes have to have isolate in them because it is the most absorbing in our systems. However I went to the vitamin shoppe and bought a vanilla and chocolate nectar mix. They cost about $40.00 and I make them with milk they are very good. There is 130 servings in the container. Nashua Nutrition also sells the nectar brand. I asked around a lot before surgery and Nectar was the most popular that I found. Good luck and I hope you find something you will like.
The only protein powder I can stomach is Matrix. I love the chocolate and mint cookie. It is not thick like most protein shakes. It's the consistency of chocolate milk. I can't stomach the thick gooey , almost pudding like consitancy of most protein poweders. I am the (self declared) most picky person when it comes to protein. I think most of them are disgusting, especially fruit flavors.
I suggest this sample pack, before buying full canisters. There is also their Nectar line. I like the Double Stuffed Cookie and Chocolate Truffle. I spent at least $1000 on samples before surgery so I could try every brand imaginable. This brand won over all of them.
