I am looking to continue loosing weight before my surgery hopefully in late July or August. I was looking for recomendations for the best/most affordable Protein shakes and supplements. I work a very strange schedule and it's hard for me to get in 3 meals a day and something I can take on the go would work out best for me.

Thanks!

Nectar is by far the best tasting protein powder. Great source of protein too.

I use double pasteurized egg whites in my drinks. Does not add any taste and with each pump of container is 3.3 grams of protein.

I really like Premier Protein chocolate shakes. They are available in 12 packs at Sam's Club and costco. You get 30 grams of protein for only 180 calories. I also use Pure Protein Chocolate Deluxe Bars for my lunch. They have 20 grams of protein, only 2 grams of sugar, and are just 180 calories. I get these at Target. Both are ready made and easy to take when you are in a hurry or if you travel. I have a shake every day. The bars I typically eat for lunch at work. I know that the powders are sometimes more economical, but convenience is also a factor for me, and these products make getting my protein in every day very easy.

Good luck!

I am having my band removed and RNY done in a week. I have a lot of experience with Protein powder. I prefer unjury. But, nectar is also good.

I am having my band removed and RNY on June 25th. I really like Bariatric Advantage brand. They have unflavored you can add to anything! Adds 27g protein and is awesome. I swear by their new multi vitamin chews as well. Best of Luck!

Where can I find nectar Protein Powder?

has anybody used Muscle Milk? It has like 22gm Protein and is not dairy. also there is Isopure that i actually just buy at smoothie king by the bag.

I use unjury unflavored Protein powder because I can add it to a drink or just about any food. I also use Premier Protein drinks because they have 30 grams of protein per shake and I occasionally have a Quest bar, which has 20-21 grams protein per bar.

I tried muscle milk, It taste like chemicals to me. I threw it out. Right now I am using pure protein plus from sam's club. It's only 17 dollars for a big container.

Premier protein from sam's will give you the most protein for the lowest price as far as ready-made shakes go. If ur looking for powders, unjury is really good (and good for u). A lot of the gnc powders/ready-made shakes are yummy. I like the pumpkin spice (limited to holiday season), cinnamon bun, and banana.

I have been drinking (preop) Lean Shake 25 from GNC..kinda pricey but the Vanilla Bean and Chocolate Peanut Butter are awesome. I mix mine with unsweetened almond milk or buy the ready made. A lot of time they have them b1g1 half off. 25 grams protein 2grams sugar and 170 calories.

This is what we are drinking. We also drink Advantage (I think that's the name....) from Wal-Mart. These two have the best protien, low sugar, low carb low fat combo that I've found so far.

My husband and I have been drinking the Atkins Protein Shakes. They are inexpensive and you can find them everywhere. They taste pretty good and are the ready to drink ones. They make my life easier at work.

Hope that helps!

I also use the pure protein! Super good stuff. And I also dont mind the EAS one from walmart either. Its not a disgustingly.rich one either. ....
