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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
