I tried just about everything and my favorite is Muscle Milk. I wasn't allowed to mix the Protein Powder with milk so I found that chocolate muscle milk was the best with water!

Personally, I didn't like the muscle milk.. but that's probably because I only tried the premade kind. I also haaated the EAS premade from Walmart. I was on those for a week before I realized there were better options in life, haha. My favorite brand is "Oh Yeah!" and whether the shakes are premade or powder, they're both delicious. My favorite kind is Cookies & Creme, but I also tried the premade Strawberries & Creme, and banana. Those were both good as well. I bought a case of the premade (cookies), 32 bottles for like $39.99 at The Vitamin Shoppe near me, then when I ran out, bought the big tub of powder for around $36.99. If you can try an Oh Yeah shake you totally should.. I wish I knew about them before I did, and actually another bandster recommended them to me. I actually have the tub of powder in front of me right now.. some of the nutrition facts: serving size: "1 rounded scoop" (which is HUGE), servings per container: 21. calories: 210. total fat: 6g. sugars: 2g. carbs: 8g. protein: 32g. Hope that helps! :)

I love the Designer whey chocolate and French vanilla. It only has 2g of carb which is important to me, and can be bought at your local supermarket. I mix a flavored instant coffee into my shake in the morning, Yum!smiley-eatdrink005.gif

I read this post and was still looking for a shake that I would actually enjoy and not just drink it because I have to. So i went out and bought the oh yeah to try- It is REALLY GOOD! I tried the Cookies & cream and strawberry. they are both Delish! I started my 2 week pre op liquids TODAY and i am picking up a case of them 2 day! I am also going to try the banana. I think this is the key to not cheating on the liquid diet- at least for me. I have to enjoy whatevery food/liquid that i am eating. The GNC Total lean RTD strawberry is also good, but is doesnt meed the requirements from my Nut. Good luck.

      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.

      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! 😞
