My favorite is only 23 gms of Protein, but it is wonderful I use Syntrax Matrix and I've tried three flavors and love them all. Mint cookie is my favorite. I make mine with 4 oz. sweetened almond milk and 4 ozs Water. The almond milk gives it a very rich flavor vs .just Water or regular milk.

I have a Syntrax nectar Cappuccino over ice every morning. I mix it with Water in my insulated tumbler and fill it with ice. Made with Water one full scoop has 100 calories, 24g Protein, and zero Carbs. I like the Fuzzy Navel and caribbean cooler flavors too.

I second the recommendation for Syntrax Nectars. I really like the Sweets line, with chocolate truffle, cappuccino, double stuffed cookie etc. -- but lots of people like the fruit-flavor Syntrax Nectars like Roadside Lemonade and Fuzzy Navel. I also really like the Syntrax Matrix line, they have tons of great flavors.

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard is another big favorite of mine but they have 23-24 grams of Protein Powder, not 25.

You can get samples of all of these lines at nashuanutrition.com.

If that extra gram of Protein powder is super important, you could check out Jay Robb whey isolate, which has 25 grams and is all natural, low calorie and low carb. I really like that one a lot. You can buy samples from jayrobb.com.

Woah! This Syntrax nectar must be very good.

I was thinking about trying Muscle Milk, it has 32 gms of Protein and good reviews on Amazon. But I guess I'll try Syntrax.< /p>

Muscle Milk also is 310 calories and 19 carbs to get those 32 grams of Protein, which IMO is really high. If you want 32 grams of Protein without ingesting quite so many calories and carbs, you could use an extra 1/3 scoop of Syntrax nectar chocolate truffle and end up with 32 grams of protein, 133 calories and zero carbs.

Plus, I don't know about the powder, but I tried the Muscle Milk RTD Protein shakes and I thought they were horrible - tasted like industrial run off waste!

I am planning on ordering a bunch of samples of Nectars. Especially the Cappuccino, I love coffee. I think the fuzzy navel will be great during summer. I prefer having 25-30 g of Protein, so I might just do a little bigger scoop to get more bang for the buck.

Muscle Milk RTD is God awful!!! I refuse to even try the powder.

I like MRM's whey Protein in dutch cocoa. It's delish.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
