Hello Everyone,

My name is Kathy and i had the Vertical Sleeve Gasrectomy on May 21st, I am wondering what types of Protein is best to use because the one i bought doesn't really taste great and I would much rather not have to mix anything...Is there something pre-mixed that any of you can recommend? Other than that i feel pretty good i have been walking around with no problem...I walk up and down my street a few times a day....I look forward to chatting with all of you and good luck on your journey to a healthy life...

Hi there sleeve sister! Also sleeved may 21. For powders, I'm really liking the fruity ones from Syntrax Nectar. Added to Water it's more like juice and has over 20g of Protein in a scoop. For pre mixed, I do Isopure zero carb in alpine punch. But not everyone enjoys them. You can buy individual ones at Vitamin Shoppe if you want to try. Also chocolate EAS Advantedge from Sams Club. Good luck!

Congrats Kathy! The 'ready to drink' drinks that I have tried are very sweet so I mix in a little milk or coffee with milk. PureProtein, Myoplex Light and MuscleMilk Light are not bad. I usually mix my own drinks with a chocolate, vanilla or unflavored Protein Powder. Most of them are good. I just didn't like Syntrax Nectar despite all of the rave reviews! Good luck!! :)

Congrats!! I really enjoy the EAS chocolate fudge Protein Shakes that have 42g of Protein. They are a little high in carbs but I get half of what I need in the bottle. Good luck!!

Isopure is a clear beverage. No mixing required, comes in 20 oz bottles that have 40grams of Protein. They are available at GNC

I like the cytosport whey Protein clear drink in the tropical flavor. Its an already mixed clear drink more like a juice. Its 0 carbs, 0 calories and 32g protein. It kind of reminds me of a margarita. I get it at the Vitamin Shoppe

I love the Isopure powders...you have to mix with Water but they mix really easily (I just shake them in a covered cup). I love the chocolate, Cookies and creme and mint chocolate chip. I buy mine on Amazon.com

Hello~

I really, really like Oh Yeah chocolate milkshake flavor. You can buy the RTD or powder and it is delicious. I get mine from Netrition or Amazon. I also use unjury unflavored to add to food or drinks.

      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
