I use Premiere chocolate and I LOVE Muscle Milk strawberry. The others (Special K; Atkins etc) will not give you enough Protein.< /p>

The Special K ones don't have nearly as much Protein as you might get from other choices and it can be difficult in the beginning to meet your protein needs. Isopure which is a clear protein comes in ready to drink 20 oz bottles with 40 grams of protein the grape and orange flavors are ok. Pure protein has 25 grams of protein for each can, or the powder which is mixed with Water or milk (for more protein). Later on you can add Protein Bars and you will get much more protein in normal foods but that is after 6 weeks. EAS carb control ready to drink is pretty good, and has 17 grams of protein. You just have to try a few different kinds and write it out to see what will total up to 65+ grams of protein per day.

Make sure you check the sugar content if you try the Special K ones...

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
