I'm having a hard time drinking the Protein Shakes. I know Protein is the most important nutrient I need during this process. What flavor of shake mix did you all in what drink to get it down?

Hi,

I hear you loud and clear on that one. My hospital has a sort of bariatric grocery for us, and they sell the nectar brand. Of that, for the milk-based ones, I liked the chocolate truffle and strawberry mousse. For the water-based ones, I liked the fuzzy navel. As a point of reference, I HATE sweets, so even these get to me, but I can choke them down, which is saying something. :-)

What shakes have you tried? What is it tat you don't like about them?

Here are a few that I like.

unjury -- I really like their chocolate Splendor & chicken Soup favors (they offer a sample pack so you can try all their flavors)

Syntrax Nectar® -- these are thinner & fruitier flavors (they also offer a sample pack)

Premier Protein -- these are convenient and are available at Sam's Club & costco

Cytosport whey RTD -- these taste really good, and pack a wopping 32g of Protein in only 130 calories.

I dont tolerate the traditional Protein Shakes either so from the beginning I have used the Isopure no carb ready to drink bottles. They have 40gms of Protein and are clear. They come in quite a few favors and aren't very sweet at all which is a big plus for me. They are a little pricey but it's totally worth it and GNC has a buy one get one sale often so I stock up on them!

My favorite morning shake is the pure protien, silk coconut, ice, spoon of Peanut Butter smooth or chunky, blend it and go.

I use the EAS low carb vanilla. I am addicted to Starbucks. So if you love coffee like I do. I will empty one of the containers into the blender, open a packet of instant coffee, throw some ice cubes in there... blend and wa la you have a vanilla frapiccino. If you like your coffee hot just nuke it in the microwave and you will have a vanilla latte! I bought some sugar free carmel and pumpkin spice. So I am going to have a pumpkin spice latte in the morning or a carmel latte. All without the calories and the fat.

I like the EAS low carb, and I also have a Cookies n cream powder at work, I am not sure what the brand is. I do know that I dont like the Jay Rob. I have heard a lot about unjury, I heard it is good.

      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
