I'm adding Unjury Unflavored to my Soups for the protein...kinda tired of all the sweet Protein Drinks. I don't taste or smell the unflavored stuff at all when I add it.

I find most Protein shakes disgusting - but I have a few that I really like:

Syntrax Matrix Mint Cookie - mix with 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk - 24g Protein

Dymatize Elite Rich chocolate

Dymatize Elite Cafe Mocha

I like to mix 1/2 scoop of the chocolate & 1/2 scoop of the mocha with 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk. It is really good and 23g of protein

Protein is such a funny thing. It seems that everyone has preferences as to the brand. I spent a fortune trying to find the right one for me. I read a lot of people's posts and when possible, went and bought brands to try. The one I like the best is Muscle Milk Light in the chocolate flavor. It is thicker than some of the others, but it is called a "shake". To me, they are all sweet. At first, I didn't like Muscle Milk. After trying so many others, I realized that for me, the Muscle Milk worked the best. It has 150 calories and has 20 grams of protein. I tried the unflavored powder and It made my drink taste odd and have a grainy texture which disturbed me. I keep reading people mentioning the Unjury. Maybe I just bought a less desirable powder. I think I may try the unflavored unjury. I try my best to get 60 grams of protein a day. There are days I have more and there are days I have less. I know for sure that I wasn't getting enough protein before my sleeve because I am not much of a meat eater.

If you like coffee, I've heard Click's espresso mocha is very good.

Try adding unflavored Protein Powder to stuff. I bought beneprotein from Walgreens. One scoop is 6 grams of Protein. I can't stand more than one scoop in 4 ounces but I can handle that much in Soups and puddings.< /p>

Hi my husband is 14 days post op and seems to be doing great :) he takes premium Protein Shake in the morning, Protein fruit smoothie or muscle milk mid day, and home made Soups with chicken veggies blended into Soup n strained for dinner. Seems like he is taking in a decent amount of protein daily. keep up the good work everybody :)

I also have been trying different things for months even though Im only 14 days post op. One of the things I have discovered is that there is alot of protien (9 g) in some small jars of baby food. If u add a little seasoning they arent half bad. Even some of the baby fruit has 3 & 4 g in them. Also I have ordered protien lemonade which is not bad. My fav drink thus far though is good old SlimFast. I get the one with 20 g and its great. I dont think Im quite taking in 70 g a day but my legs have stopped hurting. I have experienced the muscle breakdown before and it is very painful so I am working hard at getting as much Protein as possible. Good luck!

I ate baby food during a previous weight loss attempt. It's true, the meats are low volume, high Protein. I liked the little meat sticks (10gm protein), very mushy once you bite into them.the meats are tiny jars 2.5oz 8 gm protein. Add the unflavored protien powder and a little Water to make it more slidey, and you have about 15 g protein in 4 oz.

      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...

      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?
