I was wondering if anyone is drinking muscle milk as their Protein Shake? I picked one up at school today because I forgot my premier nutrition shake at home. There's 25g/protein and 9 carbs (but 1g dietary Fiber so technically 8 carbs) and 3g of sugar.

I think it tastes SOOO sweet even though there's so little sugar. I wanted to try the Cookies n cream flavor but even vanilla tastes insanely sweet

I tried Muscle Milk a few times. Right after surgery it made me want to vomit, had to throw it out. Now I can drink it but I do not like it, It was ok before surgery when I tried it when I was prepping for the surgery and buying stuff. It is getting so I do not like the premier ones from costco anymore, I just think drinking them so often (3 times a week) is doing that to me. I guess it might be important to mix up what drink I am having because they are starting to make me ill, very very weird.

I have heard that it's a good way to get in your Protein. Less sugar than most other drinks. A friend of mine who had the surgery said to take half of the container and mix it with regular soy milk. This way the sweetness is cut in half but I know that after surgery your taste buds might be different. I am switching to those after my current Protein Drink is done. I am trying to get in less sugar and more protein before my surgery next year. I'd say if you can handle the sweetness then you could do it once in a while.

I couldn't do the fruity drinks they sent me home with. Truly upset the applecart... So my wife got me MuscleMilk Lite Ready To Drink.

They have 100 calories no sugar and 15g of Protein. And the best part is they go down easy and I can get most of my Protein between them and yogurt. I'm 8 days post op today and since surgery have lost 18lbs.

Good luck,

Andy H.

I love muscle milk! I use the chocolate powder and mix one every morning with skim milk and a scoop of peanut putter. I've had the Cookies and cream too which was good. They also have a mocha latte that I wanted to try but found out it has caffeine in it so I passed.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
