So I'm such a weird super-freak that I cannot make a simple decision without investigating the hell out of it, stressing over it, checking, re-checking...and even then...I still have a hard time deciding. I'm still trying to find the BEST Protein Powder out there! I've read all the posts on LBT and other sites and it just made things more complicating because everyone seems to have their own favorites, but without any majority pointing to any specific brand. I would really hate to have to waste money and time by ordering all of them:(

I need a whey Protein or isolate that is low cal, low fat, low carb, with 20-40 grams of protein...not too expensive...and something that I can order online since I'm currently living in Germany and my picking are slim. I tried and don't care for True Results brand or Bariatric Advantage. I tried unflavored Unjury...which is tolerable...but I would be sooo happy if I could actually enjoy my Protein Shakes instead. Please Help!

Talk with your doctor and see what they recommend. My doctor carries a Protein powder in their office that is delicious. You can order online as well. Their website is www.bmisurgery.org. Check it out.

Silly - the thing with all the Protein options, is that you (unfortunately) have to try different ones to find the one you like. Many people post on here that they love unjury. I can't stand it. I've tried a variety of the major brands talked about, and at the end of the day, I only drink the Premiere Protein ready made chocolate shakes. You may have to waste a bit of money in the beginning, to find what will work for you in the long run. Everyone's tastes are different.

Good luck....

PS: If you buy a protein you hate, try blending in some banana or other fruit, to make it tolerable.....so you don't have to throw it out.

What taste good before surgery may not taste good after surgery. I bought banana flavored Protein powder and could not stand it after surgery. Buy it as you need it.

I have been happy with Lean shakes from GNC or muscle milk lite.. however, I do not drink them on a daily basis.. I eat solid Protein, chicken, tuna or fish sometimes beef and small amt of veg's and fruit.. I only drink shakes after a fill or if I am in a super hurry and can't take time to fix something... My nutritionist and Dr. do not want me to rely on shakes for my protein .. liquids will go through the band and then you will lose the feeling of satiety... I also eat greek yogurt and cottage cheese sometimes.

I think you may be related to my sister! :blink:

I just bough the EAS Lean 15 from Walmart. $19.97 for 25 servings and it's pretty tasty!

      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... :(
