I never ever ever liked to drink Protein shakes. That's until I found Muscle Milk Lite. Not the pre-made shakes. No, that powder one. It taste's great. So much so that I'm drinking it every morning w/o milk. The chocolate flavor is the only one I can speal great about. vanilla grossed me out. I really want to try Peanut Butter but I'll wait.

P.S. - Even my wife drinks it.

I agree - muscle milk light rocks. I even like the strawberry or banana one....

I really like Unjury. My favorite is vanilla, but I like them all. Well, I have not tried the chicken Soup flavor, sounds to gross to me.

I like Syntrax nectar Protein Powder the most. Vitamin Shoppe is a great place to buy Protein drinks from cause they have a no questions asked return/exchange. I bought one I didn't like and even lost the receipt and still had no problems exchanging it for a new one.

I have found that the ready-to-drink ones are better tasting than the powders. One I recently found at Target is Pure Protein, I like the Cookies and cream. Also the Unjury chicken Soup one is really good. It tastes like a cup o soup.

Unjury is the best vanilla and chocolate are great. Don't care for the strawberry but I mixed it with milk and they say you should mix it crystal light lemonaide. I had been using muscle milk chocolate but then I started reading a lot of articles on it saying it had a lot of dangerous chemicals in it so I threw it away. If you go to the Unjury web site and you get automactic delivery they will discount the price, and you can change or cancel at any time.:smile:

Passing on a tip I got from Betsy on here: I use Proti Vanilla and make it w/ unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk. Much easier to take. THEN she told me to throw in a spoonful of FF,SF chocolate pudding powder. WOO HOO a chocolate shake party in your mouth. I make it in the blender w/ a little ice.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
