Protein brand help



Recommended Posts

So everywhere I go I see EVERYONE drinks premire Protein. Now I know i can get a bulk of it at Sam's Club but I can't find a single or a 4 pack to try before I splerge on a big pack.

Any other brands that are just like this brand or even better? Help please

I don't care for Premier, I prefer either Unjury or Muscle MIlk like pre-mixed. however, i know there are a TON of brands out there.

for ME, Premier were too thick. I like a thinner shake much more, and with ice and extra milk added to it!

Its all about ones taste buds i think muscle milk is thick and prefer premier you can go to Walmart and but a 4 pack of premere and try it for yourself, but remember your tastebuds will change and although you may like one Protein Shake now it may change, it may be too sweat or to thick. Good luck.

That's what I'm never about whether or not I'd like it after surgery

I've tried EAS carb control chocolate shakes. I'd rank them right behind Premier Protein chocolate in how good they taste. EAS is sold in 4 packs at Walmart, for about $5/per pack. I've never seen Premier Protein Shakes sold individually or in 4 packs.

If you like EAS, then I think you'll like Premier even better.

I love Premier Protein!! It took a week for my taste buds to get used to them, but there are times where I crave one. I have never seen them in a 4 pack.

If you're looking to try something available in a 4-pack, try those Atkins shakes maybe?? There's a woman whose weight loss website I have been reading for a year, and when she goes on a sugar detox, she likes to drink those 1 every other hour from 8 am to 5 pm I believe, then she eats a low carb dinner.< /p>

I started with Unjury, which I thought was good with light vanilla soy milk.. It didn't take long before I got really tired of having to mix it so I switched to Premier. It tastes ok.. when I first started drinking it, I would try my best not to smell it cause it's a little off-putting.. but it's not bad. After 5 months of drinking Protein Shakes, I've stuck with it.. not because it's the best tasting, but because it's the most convenient. Although, I must admit.. I do appreciate that it has more Protein and vitamins/minerals as well.

Yeah there are 4 packs but it's impossible to fine I've checked EVERYWhere even tried to buy a 4 pack online and I couldn't it's like I'mpossible. I think I'm just gonna say eff it and buy the big pack after surgery and learn to love it. I've tried Unjury shakes but I don't feel like I'll always want to blend it myself haha!

I just found a local brand that a health food store in my town makes. It's medical quality and I've gotta say, it's darn good!

I have been using Isopure because it's low carb but they seemed a little grainy and, I know this will sound weird, but felt like they dried out my lips.

The one from the health food store is only 150 calories, 3 carbs and 25 grams of Protein and it's super thin. The strawberry tastes really good. I'm going to try the banana tomorrow.

unjury sells an assortment of single packs so that you can try different flavors. I ordered before surgery and then tried them after surgery to see which ones I liked. The Milk Muscle light chocolate is good. I buy a case at costco.

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
