protein shake help.

I like Premier as it is not as sweet as others like Muscle Milk and Pure Protien. I'm not big on the powders. Used them alot when I was trying to lose weight the old fashioned way. Tried them all, hated them all.

Where did you buy the premier? Today is my first day of preop and I'm a little overwhelmed with all the choices!

I use the bullet too, but I put in about 3/4 cup of crushed ice, then skim milk and the Protein Powder on top. After blending, it's just like a milk shake. No foam.

this is how I do it too.. but will say that although there is no foam, there has definitely been air incorporated into my drink as it has about 1/3 more volume than it did before blending. It tastes yummy but if you can't tolerate any air, then this might not be the method for you.

Also, Johns Hopkins nutritionists did not recommend Muscle Milk due to lead levels - they said it was ok to drink one in a pinch but not every day.

Does the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein taste as good as the nectar ? Also is it light on the stomach ?

Personally, everything by Unjury except for the chicken Soup flavor is terrible.

I used body by vi for months prior to surgery but its soy Protein and whey is muvh better and it has less Protein per serving.. I like vanilla eas whey protein.. I bought a huge bag from Sams club snd its great with 28 Proteins per scoop. I put a little bit of pulp free orange juice for a creamsicle taste.. Now what to do with my 8 bags of body by vi shakes??? Lol

I actually like my Protein Shake. It's called Hydro Whey and I use the chocolate flavor. It's delicious and the only flavor that I can stomach so far.

An easy way to get rid of the foam is to put 2-3 drops of baby anit gas drops in your shake. It breaks up the bubbles just like it would in your stomach.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
