I tried to find a thread for this on LBT but got tired of searching. As I am about to begin pre-op, I am curious; which brands and flavors of the protein shakes are your favorite? I have always hated SlimFast and stuff like that so I'm hoping the shakes won't resemble it. I am about to stock up so suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!!

Hi Ashley,
ReplyDeleteI drank mostly the EAS Myoplex shakes. The ready made ones are the best, in my opinion. Pour them over ice, and add a little cinnamon. If you go to the EAS website and register, you can get a coupon to print out for free shakes or big discounts.
Good luck!
Ashley,
ReplyDeleteI am trying a few different protein shakes and powders that are recommended by my dietitian...I too like the EAS Myoplex shakes, they are yummy! (Although I was unaware of the coupons!)
I also went to GNC and got some unflavored whey protein powder and mix it in with a ton of stuff (liquids and others), if you use the right amount you cant notice it at all, although if u use too much, it gets clumpy. I find it a safe bet because everyone says that tastes are gonna change after the band (I havent had surgery yet....) so I dont wanna fall in love with one, and then cant stand it after...
:)
YAY! Pre-op!
I use Muscle Milk Lite Cookies and Cream or chocolate
ReplyDeleteCan't help you here... they seem to have totally different brands in the US than Australia.. but that said: GOOD LUCK WITH IT!!! You're going to do great.
ReplyDeleteUnjury - chocolate. buy it online only :) yum
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your suggestions! I will definitely look for the Myoplex shakes and try them. Nikki, I think the unflavored stuff sounds great, too, so I will look for it. I drink a lot of tea and would love to add some protein to it.
ReplyDeleteThe Muscle Milk sounds yummy! I also saw an ad for Unjury today online. I wondered about it. I notice a lot of bloggers also seem to use Isopure (or something like that??) I suppose I just need to find one that's right for me.
And The Dash, thanks for your encouragement. Let's hope I get through this ok! Haha.
Thanks again, y'all :)
Ashley, I've been using Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein powder. I have the chocolate flavor. They're fine, don't love 'em, don't hate 'em but they get the job done.
ReplyDeleteI love the Premium Pro-Rated Protein Mix. I get it from Costco. It comes in a 6 lb bag & only costs $28.99!!! I only drink it in the Chocolate flavor though, I have never tried the Vanilla.
ReplyDeleteIt tastes like a thinned down Chocolate Milk! If you want to see what the bag looks like, I have photos of it posted on my Nov 4th posting, titled: Only 15 Days To LB Day!! Hope this helps.
I like it so much, that I can drink it made with just water to cut the calories down!
