i just finished a delicious premier Protein chocolate drink. last night, i added some torani's sugar free salted caramel Syrup to my shake and it was fantastic. i haven't tried any other brands because i liked Premier Protein so much. i haven't even tried the flavors other than chocolate, though i might now that i know i can get a 4 pack at walgreens.

I got a lot of samples from vita lady. Worth the investment . My surgery next week so I'm glad I have choices for later on. I don't like the syntax koolaid type flavored much, but I bet they come in handy afterwards. I love the Premier RTD like everyone else, but who knows if I will after surgery.

I used the Body by Vi Protein Shakes and used 1% milk and sugar free Jello puddings. I would add ice about three quarters of the way of the individual blender shaker, put about 2 tablespoons of the pudding and the 2 scoops of the Protein mix (which is flavored vanilla and tastes good by itself). Blend until it is the consistency of a shake. It is REALLY good and you have the opiton to have so many flavors that it doesn't get boring. I still have those every once in awhile. It is hard to drink all of it, so I save the rest for an afternoon or evening snack.< /p>

Give it a try, it is really good and most of all filling, while also helping with your sweet tooth. You feel kind of like you're cheating - having a malt or shake that really isn't one but tasts like one!

I hope you enjoy!

Didn't like Premier Protein at all. Far too sweet!

I like Prosource no carb liquid Protein

CVS whey Protein powder

CVS whey Protein sunfiber (great for preventing constipation)

Isopure naked. (Unflavored and mixes well with hot or cold beverages. Very helpful when you hit that "I can't take another sweet drink" wall.)

Quest Protein powder in Vanilla & strawberry

Premier Protein in Strawberries & Creme

Cellucor Whey Protein in Red Velvet Cake Batter

Isopure banana Creme

Isopure Vanilla creme

Isopure Alpine punch (RTD, not the powder)

Isopure unflavored

These are Proteins I've tried so far and all have great flavor and consistency. I tried Cellucor Cor-Fetti Cake Batter and found it a bit too sweet.

Pure Protein makes pretty good shakes. They are premixed so very convenient. They have 170 cals 35g of protein and 4g carbs. Come in a bunch of flavors- chocolate, Cookies and cream, vanilla, banana, strawberry. I've tried them all and really like the chocolate and cookies n cream.

I think they're also coming out w a smaller container that has 23g protein. They typically come by the case but If you get it from Vitamin Shoppe they will let you buy just one to try (or a few).

I love the Unjury vanilla. I didn't find it gritty whatsoever. I thought the fruity flavore of the Syntrax tasted like Gelatin /jello... Power Crunch makes an amazing vanilla. I'm on the search for a coffee flavored Protein but I've had no luck.. They all taste bad. My surgery is this Friday and the trick is going to be finding something that doesn't thicken or turn to sludge while sitting. We can't chug it so I don't want it too thick.

I like the muscle milk strawberries and cream 170 cal 20g Protein. 11 oz 4 for $6.98 at Walmart. Didn't think I would like them but they are good not after taste for me.

New favorite, in a little Water blenderize 1/4 c of cherries, then add to premier vanilla stirring only with a spoon. AMAZING and keeps the froth to a minimum

      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.
