I just tried the Premium Protein...I liked it :) But am going to try the GNC's AMP WHeybolic Extreme 60 chocolate since it was rated so highly on here!

Something to think of is that even though some shakes may be 30-46gm of Protein per serving, sometimes these servings call for 12-16 oz prepared. This is quite a lot to drink in the beginning.

46 g is a lot of Protein to consume in a single serving. The body usually cannot process more an 30 g in a sitting where the remainder is converted to fat or passes through. Do you know anything special about the Chike Protein shake that would make it easier to process more than 30 g in a sitting? banana flavor sounds awesome. I love banana creme flavor.

Each 8oz serving of our Meal Replacement is fortified with 28 grams of medical-grade whey protein, complex carbohydrates, dietary Fiber, essential fatty acids, and 23 Vitamins and minerals. It can be used as a healthy alternative to Breakfast, a midday snack, or a smart way to indulge a late-night craving. This also makes it an ideal pre-operative weight loss shake or post-operative meal replacement for weight loss surgery patients. Add 2 scoops for 46 g of protein

It might be 8 oz or 10 oz of Water, whatever suits you. Adding gelled chia seeds really brings out the flavor and taste, even when using only 1 scoop.

No problem. 3 scoops is 60 g of Protein for the GNC shakes. It is definitely over kill to try and consume 60 g of Protein as here is how it breaks down :

1. 15-20 g protein, average amount for average adult to consume.

2. 20-25 g protein, average amount for WLS adult to consume.

3. 25-30 g protein, average amount for athletic adult to consume

Adults typically cannot process more then the upper values on these ranges above. Eating more will result in storage of protein or elimination, neither which are ideal.

A friend just sent me some Proasis Protein bullets in the mail, they are casein, whey, and collagenic protein isolate, so 2 goods and 1 useless. 50g protein each. Opinions?

Most collagen is considered useless, but not all. Please consider the following research on hydrolyzed collagen:

      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!!
