Hello all,

As someone who will be post-op soon, I figured rather than have it scattered over multiple threads, why don't we list all the various Protein drinks, waters, powders, etc that you've had and give your opinion on them.

I just recently tried Atkins Lift Lemon Flavored, and found it pretty good. I like my drink a little sweeter, so I added a little Crystal Lite Lemonade mix to it. Quiet refreshing! On a 1-5 scale 4.5.

So what Protein Drinks or waters, etc have you had?

I'm 4 days post-op and so far I've had premier Protein, chocolate flavor. While I don't mind this one at all, I have found others that I find much easier to get down. I have had a Coco Protein Drink (pina colada flavor) and that was pretty good (probably a 3-4 on a scale of 1-5) then I've had the Atkins Lift berry Flavor. This one I really like, so I'll give it a 5. I just bought the orange flavored Lift today, so I'll probably try that one tomorrow.

Then I met a couple who live down the road from me today and they brought over a few samples of the Syntrax nectar Protein powder. Haven't had time to try those yet, maybe tomorrow.

Good list so far. Let us know how it goes when you try the others.

Adding PB2 to the chocolate premiere Protein drink was my favorite early on. Also sugar free coffee syrups. I used a pump of the raspberry with it as well for a chocolate raspberry drink. Variety is the key so you don't get burned out.

ooohhhhhh, never thought of adding stuff to the already made Protein drinks. I have some PB2 that I haven't used yet. Definitely gonna try adding some to my chocolate Premier Protein drink. About how much PB2 did you add in?

PB2 is a Peanut Butter powder that you can usually get at the nut butter section of regular supermarkets. You can also try adding a tsp of unsweetened cocoa powder to the regular vanilla Protein powders. In my opinion, the Protein shakes are horrible when prepared with Water. When made with a non-fat milk, the difference is night and day. You can also try adding a dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt and mixing it in to the shake

Vega One Protein Powder. You can snag it at costco. I'm not a huge fan of vanilla (in general) so I either blend this with fruits/water or PB2.

I like the unjury chocolate splendor made with fairlife milk.

I like it with espresso powder added, or PB powder added or half a banana.

I also like the Unjury vanilla with coffee added - or with half a peach or some frozen cherries added.

and I used the unjury unflavored in things like no sugar applesauce to give a Protein boost in the early days.

      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
