Any tasty protein shakes?

So many kinds of protein shakes and have wasted so much money on them.... what kind do you use? I am 6 months post op and still can't get all my protein from food. I have lost 121lbs and had no problems except a little hair loss... Thanks, Have a Blessed Day!

Hi Susann, Try going to the bariatriceating.com website and get one of the sample packs. That way you get to try several different brands and flavors to see what you might like before having to make a larger financial investment in something that you may or may not be able to eat. I'm still pre-op (surgery scheduled 3/21) and I got the sample pack, I figured it was never too soon to start with the protein. And I got a really nice stainless steel shaker as part of the sample pack and it was less than $30. You've done a great job losing 121lb in just 6 months. Keep up the good work. Toni

Hi Susann, someone said they bought the fuzzy naval from bariatricseating.com. Said she made up some crystal lite, added 4 scoops of the protein, makes 64 oz. That way she got her 64 ozs of water and 100 grams of protein. Just sip on that all day. She said it tastes like Tang. Sounds good to me. Best of luck on your journey and congrads on the weightloss. That's fabulous. Proud of you, Susann. Keep working at it. Always, Kathy

Hi Susann, sounds like you're doing great with your weightloss.. congratulations! I have my surgery on Tuesday, so I began buying samples to try ahead of time. Personally I liked the optimum nutrition chocolate..sci fit econo whey protien banana, chocolate..they arent as gritty or as sweet as some I tried. I tried the fuzzy navel with the crystal lite and it was horrible! The smell alone was awful.. but every ones tastes are different.. vitalady.com has many brands and flavors and samples are only 1.99 each. I just ordered one called sci fit amino infusion 5000..it comes in a 32 oz bottle..liquid..6 Tbsp =30gm protein. They say if mixed with water tastes like kool aid and if taken with a spoon is like children's cough syrup. It is a little cheaper than the powders and has 3 flavors..I ordered the fruit punch one, which they say is very popular. Anyways..hope this is helpful. Oh also I was told that after WLS noone can absorb more than 30gms at one time of protein, it won't hurt to drink it but that it is throwing money away..and also that after about 30 minutes it compromises the integrity of the protein and can begin to grow bacteria so premixing can be a bad idea.. but this is just what I was told.. do not know if true or not. just sharing. Good luck in your searching. Dawn
