Yes too much sugar:

Premier Protein strawberries and cream has 30 g Protein and only 1 g sugar

EAS Advantage Carb Control Protein has 17g protein and no sugar

Just some suggestions.

I prefer Pure Protein Drinks. initially I bought the frosty chocolate with 23g Protein, 1g sugar. it is absolutely delicious! then I thought I'd be smart and bought the one with 35g protein. that was a mistake. that one has a more chalky taste and not nearly as tasty as the 23g. my nutritionist said both were fine. they have lots of favors.

I agree - Pure Protein is a really good one, and I also like Muscle Milk Light in both Choc and vanilla. They 14 oz size (too big by half) only has 12 grams sugar, and two of those are in the Fiber. It has 25 grams protein - and lots of drug stores carry it, as does Target.

Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much sugar. I am a recovering sugar carb addict before going into recovery (6 month supervised diet) I would probably be licking my lips rubbing my hands together at the sound of 26grams of sugar lmbo.....just kidding but seriously that's a lot of sugar and I think you could find one u really like without that much sugar. Premier Protein, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury & Chike r a few with a very low sugar content but r very tasty to me. Each person palate is different but u will find one that u like.

Out of the 3 I mentioned even though I love the taste of Chike the best it has a higher carb count of I believe 9 grams of carb depending on the flavor. My Bariatrician viewed the nutritional values and said it's fine but ur plan could be different. Sending skinny vibes ur way and much success on ur WLS journey.

I add extract to my shakes vanilla, coconut , sometimes chocolate coco it helps . I also try to drink it without smelling it , ugh they stink! I wish someone would make one taste like a oreo milkshake ????

I prefer the Protein Powder to the rtd ones, but my favorite rtd is ensure high Protein. Muscle milk was ok to me before surgery but I can't tolerate it now. As far as powders, I like Syntrax Nectar chocolate and double stuffed cookie.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
