  • How about the premier protien shakes they are from Costco the vanilla is great I am 3 months post op and I still drink them for breakfast everyday I am 64 pounds down

  • Have you tried unflavored protein. I mix a half scoop with 32oz of crystal light.

  • I only drink premier ready made shakes. They are a little bit more expensive, but in my opinion well worth it Don't give up you really need to get the Protein in!

Have you tried WonderSlim Protein drinks? They have a mint hot cocoa, which is great. And right now I am drinking the Tangy Orange Protein Drink. Mixed with Water, it's basically like Crystal Light with protein.Also like the shakes that you can make into puddings by adding less water are pretty good. Their stuff has been my saving grace!

BTW, I was sleeved on the 18th--my sleeve buddy! :)

AAAANNND I forgot to mention that I have yet to weigh myself since surgery and I am really impressed by your fabulous weight loss!!!!!

Isopure drinks are saving me. GNC has them.

which nectar did you get? I didn't like most of them either but I could handle the fuzzy navel one. Reminded me a little of orange juice instead of all the usual chocolate, vanilla and strawberry you usually have to choose from.

Hi sleeve buddy Amy!!! I haven't tried any of them. Isoplus I have seen but haven't tried it. I have a big strawberry nectar here I have to get down. But I will try some of the other brands. Maybe I'll put some in some pudding and mix it. Thanks for the suggestions ev 1.

Hi there ♥ I am looking for a buddy and or mentor... I had my surgery on the 18th and have only lost 10 pounds. What am I doing wrong? Any advice?

You have a lower starting weight than a lot of people. (You're like me!) And you lost 10 pounds in 9 days. That's over a pound a day--a terrific loss! If you have a lower BMI to start with, you're closer to goal, so you won't lose as fast. You are doing nothing wrong!

How about the premier protien shakes they are from Costco the vanilla is great I am 3 months post op and I still drink them for breakfast everyday I am 64 pounds down

Hi maciasl2004 u are not doing anything wrong the weight slows down pretty early u have to keep exercising to keep it going that's what I do I am almost 3 months sleeved and I am down 64 pounds

Have you tried unflavored protein. I mix a half scoop with 32oz of crystal light.

I do isopure cut with water as well as premier protein. The rest make me yack. The smell of Nectar turned me off. Can you have yogurt yet? I have Fage Greek plain and then I drizzle with agave.

Yes I'm in stage 2 of my diet I can have yogurt. I think I want to try premier, heard from other people they were tasty. If this doesn't work I'll try maybe 2 more then I'm done. I will see if the have protein pills. They have everything in pill form. Ev 1 lose differently, 10 pounds is great!!! I guess maybe I'm heavier, or have more water weight to lose. But you can be out buddy to , keep in touch compare ask questions but most of all encourage.

I only drink premier ready made shakes. They are a little bit more expensive, but in my opinion well worth it :) Don't give up you really need to get the Protein in!

@rhondafrankin03 it's way to early for u to have pills u cannot swallow them as yet try gnc shakes too the strawberry is good it's called lean shake I never tried the isoplus I heard they are yucky
