Protein Shakes: Premier Protein. costco (in Canada -- I think it's Sam's Club in the USA?) sells them in bulk for a pretty good price, although usually just the chocolate and vanilla. Other stores carry the more gourmet flavours (I LOVE their banana but the strawberry makes me cringe) at a steep price, so they've become occasional treats.

Protein Powder:
- Boost - Just Protein (unflavoured)
- Isoflex Chiller (Peach) -- for a protein Water

Bone Broth Powder: (I like to add them when I'm cooking to sauces, chili, etc for a little extra shot of protein)
- Prairie Naturals Beef / Chicken
- New Roots Herbal - New Zealand Beef

Protein Bars:
- ONE (all okay -- except birthday cake, bleck!)
- Simply Protein - mint chocolate or chocolate raspberry are my go-to
- Pure Protein - chocolate salted caramel (it's like a salty Mars bar!)

** for the ONE bars, I think I like their nutrition stats more than I like their tastes / textures. The Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup one is pretty good, but for the most part it's just a bar that does the job and doesn't leave me feeling sick or heavy. I mostly just keep them on hand at work and in my purse in case the lunch I do pack triggers me somehow and I need a quick replacement.

oh yummy!! I know for me these Protein bars are good small meal for me to eat about an hour or so before I hit the gym. Its not heavy and gives me good energy for the hourish that I am there.

Yummy. I was just back in Ireland at the weekend and found some mint chocolate ones so bought what the store had left (5 bars) and keep them for a special occasion.

They aren't easy to find! I happen to stumble across it when I was looking at the Protein Bars and it was 2 bars for $4 so I figured I would grab them with how little calories and carb high Protein. They only have the salted caramel and the Peanut Butter chocolate, I put them in the fridge and holy moly DELISH!

I like BariWise hot chocolate in my coffee every morning. Makes it like a Cappuccino, no Creamer. Adds 15g to start my day.

Congratulations!!

You can get Fulfil in the US? Wow that is great for a little Irish brand . I love their salted caramel.
I make my own but have Fulfil as my fallback, as in I always have a bar in my handbag for emergencies.

For Protein Shakes already made: Premier Protein- they have really good flavors. Every single morning I drink the caffee latte with a Decaf cold brew. start my day with 30g Protein.
For a powder: Isopure the dutch chocolate or the vanilla
For Protein Bars: RxBar or Fulfil
I have tried A LOT! and these are the best for me

You know what's funny @ripburn? I was never a morning person. Always woke up tired no matter how many hours of sleep I got. After WLS; I wake up 6/7 in the morning, ready for the day. No problem.
So I'm smiling right along with you

I like the good culture cottage cheese. You might want to try the plain good culture cottage cheese and put some berries on it.

Having a lot of energy and not being tired today made me smile.

Well done! Congratulations!

I hit my final goal!!! I'm actually, literally ugly crying right now. I didn't expect it to happen so fast!!!

Cucumber, lettuce, carrots, boiled beetroot, leeks, baked squash, roast cauliflower. Early out I had to get my veg in by making different vegetable Soups and blitzing it. I had a cup as one of my 6 tiny meals a day. Any Soup with added cheese was a particular favourite. Broccoli and stilton, onion and cheddar, carrot and cilantro { see I have been on this forum for so long that I am now using the American } lentil and vegetable and Gazpacho are still my favs.
Raw veg other than lettuce tend to fill me for too long. I had some carrot batons this week and I was burping all evening, very unpleasant

Asparagus, broccolini, green Beans & sugar snap peas are my go tos then cauliflower, zucchini & cabbage. I usually microwave them. Also eat cucumber, Tomato, carrot, mushrooms, celery, capsicum, onions, corn, peas, lettuce & legumes like lentils or beans depending upon what I’m eating/cooking like Soup, casserole, mince dishes, etc. I just throw in as many vegetables as I can.
Every now & then I’ll try a little potato, pumpkin or sweet potato but they still tend to sit heavily in my tummy.
I tend to keep my fruit lower 1-2 serves a day. Though they have naturally occurring sugar which we don’t ’count’ it’s still a sugar which will be converted & stored as energy (fat) if we don’t use it.

peas, green Beans, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, bell peppers, mushrooms
I like them grilled, roasted, sautéed

Last night I made myself a taco salad consisting of 1 oz baby spinach, 1 oz red peppers, 1 oz match stick carrots, 2 oz ground chicken with taco seasoning, 1/2 oz cheddar cheese, and 1 oz fresh cilantro salsa. Delicious and just the right amount of food for me. I also like English cucumber slices. A mix of vegetables roasted on a sheet pan is a great thing to have on hand to eat hot or have later cold. I like zucchini, yellow squash, peppers, onions, cauliflower, and grape tomatoes tossed with a small amount of vinaigrette before roasting. Beets, Brussels sprouts, and butternut squash also roast wonderfully. Spiral cut zucchini is delicious with marinara and meatballs instead of spaghetti. And sliced raw veggies pair well with a dip made of cottage cheese blended until smooth in a blender and mixed with ranch powder or onion dip mix (instead of sour cream). Thin it with a little milk for your desired consistency.

I have trouble getting in enough veg or fruits right now.
I was trying to force myself to get some lettuce (romaine or iceberg) and use them as lettuce wraps once or twice a week, but I don't eat enough of the head to make it worth it before it goes bad.
My nutritionist has been telling me that 'fresh is best' -- but also that the best veg to eat is whatever veg you do eat. (in other words -- it doesn't matter how good something might be for you if you don't end up eating it, lol). I have a small can of low sodium V8 twice a week, and try to throw some frozen veg in with my Protein -- spinach, broccoli florets, green Beans. Bell peppers. I used to heavily dislike bell peppers, but after my surgery I love them -- steamed or on the barbecue.

Cucumbers, Broccoli, Green Beans, Tomatoes (half and half), squashes, cauliflower, Kale, lettuces.

In the summer when it is hot outside. I like to exercise inside so I can have the cold air conditioner on.
