Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

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 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!

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.< /p>

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 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
