I bought the Jillian Michaels Protein Powder from Walmart. It's not too bad. I do think I'm going to buy myself some of the Unjury brand. I like that they have a chicken flavor one so you can add it to your broth!!!!

I have tried several "Protein Powders" since I was banded in September 2012. I just found an awesome one that has a Protein level of "30 grams of protein" and "2 grams of sugar". The name is "On" Platinum Hydro Whey - you can find it on Amazon, trial size is about 17 -20 drinks- It is great after trying several brands of protein.

ErinSue2000,

Here's the list I have from my doctor: unjury, smoothie King Gladiator High Protein/Low Carb, Labarada Lean Body, EAS Myoplex Low Carb/Lite, BSN Syntha-6 Core Series, Isopure (20 oz bottle), Nature's Best Zero Carb Isopure (2 scoops), Nectal, Protein Shots (dilute in Propel), IDS Sports New-Whey 42 liquid Protein, Myoplex (regular), Myoplex Lite (2 scoops), Muscle Milk Lite, Worldwide Sport Pure Protein, whey isolate Protein (1 scoop)

Protein Powdered Mixes - A good Protein Drink should have the following nutrients per serving: +20 grams protein per scoop/serving, 7 grams or less of carbohydrate/sugars per scoop/serving, 5 grams or less of fat per scoop/serving

Hope that helps you with finding a Protein Drink.< /p>

MissMia9,

I have been using the unjury powders. I like the chocolate Spendor best. I tried the sample packet of the chicken flavored one, but I didn't care for it. It's not like regular chicken broth. It's got kind of a creamy texture to it, which is okay, but it was hard for me to finish the whole thing. You might want to try the unflavored powder and add it to a broth you like. I tried mixing it in sugar free Jello when I made it and it turned out okay. Except for the Jello not being quite clear, I couldn't really taste it.

I love the low carb Isopure shakes. You don't even need a blender, they mix up great with just a spoon.

As of late, I have been drinking the ready to drink chocolate Premier Protein shakes. They have 160 calories, 30 grams Protein, 1 gram of sugar and 5 grams of carbohydrates. You can get them at Sam's Club or costco. My Sam's Club has been selling them for $18.88 per case of 12. They are really convenient, taste good and if put them in the freezer for a bit, you get a nice thick frosty shake!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
