Any suggestions on Protein Drinks? I'm 4 weeks out and I can't stand my Protein drinks any longer. I hardly eat a thing so I know I'm not getting in the protein I need. I tried the chocolate Lean Body, some horrible Walgreens brand shake, and fruit punch Isopoure. Is there a drink you like? Did anyone else have trouble getting in their protein?

Isopure drinks are really good. You can get bottles at GNC but they are over $5/each. Or buy the powder which is much cheaper. They have all kinds of flavors. I like the mango/peach.

Do you have a Sam's Club or costco nearby? Premier Protein are by far the most popular amongst sleevers here. Not for everybody, but I know dozens of us who have settled on Premier. If you don't believe me, do a site search on Premier Protein. chocolate or vanilla. I sound like a salesperson ... but I'm not!

I agree with Pdx Man, Premier Protein shakes at costco and Amazon.com. are the best I have tried so far, and I tried a lot of powder ones my first two weeks. I like to put in freezer until just a little icy:)

Hi -- The selection of protien shakes where I am from are very limited.

So, I've come up with a formula that I can live with--maybe you would like to try this?

I mix non-flavor whey protien (6 scoops; up to 24gm of protein) with a cup of Non-Fat milk--then I drop in a tbsp of Hershey's unsweetened chocolate powder (the one used for baking) and blend this with some ice. It doesn't taste great, but it doesn't taste bad either; like watered-down chocolate milk with 32gm protien and contains 210 cal.

It doesn't break the bank, physically and financially for me. Plus, the non-flavor allows me to use it in some of my food dishes.

Hope this helps!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
