By cutting out the sugars, and eating high Protein, your body will start burning the fat in your body by using it's glycogen reserves. I am addicted to drinking my Premier chocolate shakes from Costo and it has very little sugar. It tastes really great too. Keep away from sugars ASAP. It will help you lose weight quicker and easier. :)

I liked muscle milk. It is a both thick but good. They also have a muscle milk light but I have not tried that one. They are lactose free and contain no milk. I suggest going to GNC or Vitamin Shoppe and buying several single protien shakes to see which you like before committing to one however. It will save you money in the long run.

I started right off using the Wheybolic 60 from GNC, I used it with light vanilla Soy milk, which my Nutritionist advised was great! I never had any problems, it was easily digested and no heartburn and ...it tasted great. I use the vanilla with a drop of two of coconut extract and its fabulous. :D

annnnnd to date I've lost about 60 or so pounds, sooo something mustbe working ;)

I didn't like Muscle Milk I thought it tasted "gross", I tried it thinking I didn't have to mix it and was just being lazy but "ick" couldn't stomach it.

I use the Isopure Dutch chocolate w/Skim Plus Milk and I have it with Torani sugar free rasberry Syrup which makes it taste extra good all in all very low in sugar, sugar adds to weight gain.

Best Wishes!!

I second Chicagochick's advice, but be careful when you find one you like. Only buy enough of your favorite one to get you to your surgery date. Tastes change for many of us after surgery and you don't want to get stuck with something you used to like but cannot stand now.

I used the muscle milk lights from the get go...love them! I bought the rtd ones, easier for me and seemed less grainy than the powders. I advise going to GNC and getting a few different types in singles and give them a try.

I absolutely love the chocolate flavor Muscle Milk, in either the original formula, or the "light" version. I have one shake every day, usually around lunch time. I can also tell you that the Unjury chicken broth flavored Protein Powder (mix with 8 oz warm water) is very good, if you like chicken broth. I didn't care the Unjury chocolate Protein powder...it was a bit too sweet for me. (Someone mentioned the possibility that your taste buds may change...I find sweet things are VERY sweet to me now...I much prefer "savory" flavors to sweet since my surgery.) Best of luck to you!

I have the powder chocolate ones that I mix with Water (anything else and too thick) that I drink two scoops with 12oz Water a couple of hours before my workouts. It seems to give me that extra boost to push myself during my workout.

Sometimes I put a tbsp of PB2 chocolate in with it for an extra kick.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
