I recently discovered Muscle Milk. It's 25g of Protein with only 9g of carbs (14 oz total). Does anyone else use Muscle Milk. Just want to make sure it's a good product before I buy a big bottle of it, lol.

Yup its the only kind I drink. Easy to find in ready to drink bottles at Walmart or you can find deals online for the bigger bottles with 32 g's of Protein. I like the strawberry and vanilla which Wal Mart carries. Online you can find Cookies N Cream and banana Cream. Even though it says it has 9g's of carbs, it only has like 1 gram of sugar

I love muscle milk! I haven't tried the powder, just the RTD from Walmart. It's delish! Does not take like a Protein Drink. More like one of this vanilla flavored candy bar drinks (I don't know who makes them..but they come in flavors like mars, caramilk).

Thanks for the recommendations! I just picked up a bottle at WaWa and it looked promising. Can anyone recommend a good Protein Bar. I'm going to costco next week.

Muscle milk is the only Protein Shake that I will drink. I buy it in powder form because the pre-made drinks tend to taste different and not as good. They also have a light version and it's very good also. I buy the regular MM and add 1 scoop to 8 oz of milk. It's by far the best tasting Protein shake I've ever tasted and I've tasted several different kinds.

I haven't dared to try regular or light yet. The number if calories scare me.

It only has 170 calories in the regular RTD form

My other Protein Drinks (like Isopure) has 100. I'm eating around 450-500 calories a day, so 170 really adds up super fast.

I tried muscle milk post-sleeve and sleeve got upset at it. Made me "sick" for about an hour. I don't trust it now and will stick with nectar or matrix shakes. I had the no sugar version.

Did you mix it with milk? I recently just discovered that if I mix my Protein Powder with milk it makes me deathly ill. So I tried one day mixing it with Water and I was fine!! Good luck to you!!

I tried mixing the Protein powder with milk yesterday and it was terrible. I almost cried for joy when I finished it. I did Water today and it was much better.

No, I didn't mix anything. I bought a RTD version from a gas station and drank it.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
