Hey guys the reason for my post is to get some ideas on what Protein Shakes you guys are using. I am drinking premier and have had muscle milk ones. But I'm getting tired of them I'm open to home made ones if you guys have any. Also any new ones that we can have that's low on sugar and good on Protein. Please help and thanks

I'm using Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard whey. So far the double chocolate has served me well. One thing I've found is adding a little softened PB mixes and creates a Reeses PB cup-like taste.

Another thing you can try is adding Protein powder to various foods. I sprinkle some powder on my vanilla Greek yogurt and it mixes to make a pudding consistency. Tastes pretty darn good too.

I really like Syntrax Protein Shakes. They come in some great flavors like fuzzy navel. They have 23g of Protein per scoop, 100cal, 0 carbs, 0 sugar. They don't have that "protein" taste. Do you know what I mean? The only downside is they don't come in ready to go shakes. You have to mix them yourself, but worth it. YUMMIE!!

Forgot. Optimum Nutrition is 110-120 calories per scoop with 24g Protein and only 1g sugar.

Also if you're allowed coffee or Decaf, adding some instant crystals to vanilla or chocolate shakes is pretty yummy!

I love the Protein Powder that Quest makes. My favorites are Salted Caramel and Cookies and Creme. I blend mine in a nutribullet with sugarfree almond milk and ice. It is better than a milkshake!

I live for the Syntrax shakes. Can't tolerate the shakes mixed with milk so these are perfect for me. My trick? Add a sleeve of Crystal Light Orange or Mango Peach to the Water before you mix it and add ice. It's heaven in a cup. Also, the Iced Tea with Lemon is wonderful too- I add crystal light lemonade to that one!!!!

Torani syrups has a bunch of sugar free ones. I added some sf brown sugar cinnamon to a vanilla Protein Shake and it was really yummy. I order online from their website.

Cost Plus World Market has the entire SF Torani Syrup line- well priced too. Love the SF raspberry and coconut!!! They even have chocolate! Can add these to your Water as well!!!

      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.
