You can always try adding to it. I add Greek yogurt and PB fit to my morning Protein Breakfast shake, both add extra protein

Isopure has a lot of different flavors. You've tried them all? I'm sipping the espresso flavor as I type this.

I had the same problem with the Protein Shakes then I tried Bariatric Pal (online), I mix with 1% milk, crushed ice and whip up in the Nutri Bullet. I love it, at 4 mos out I still start my day with them. 27 grams of Protein right out of the gate! I mix the vanilla and chocolate 1 scoop of each and I love it!! Good Luck, cant wait to hear your success story!!!!!!!

I don't mind the Premier pre-mixed shakes, but making shakes from the powder is disgusting (for me at least). I've been using Syntrax powders (both traditional powders - chocolate, vanilla, and unflavoured) and Syntrax Nectars (which are like drinking juice) both pre- and post-op. In both cases you get 23g of Protein, 0 carbs, 0 sugars, 100 calories. The nectars I usually mix with just Water, but the powders I mix with unflavoured almond milk (or soy milk), and if I'm using chocolate, I usually add some PB2 Peanut Butter powder and (sometimes) either unflavoured/unsweetened Greek yogurt or half a small block of fresh soft tofu (the latter will make it thick like a milkshake), plus (usually) a banana. On top of that I always add either flax or chia seeds (ground). All those add-ons add to the protein count (often I get between 30-35g, depending on what I use).

Oh - my new favourite smoothie is mixing Syntrax Roadside Lemonade with unsweetened almond milk, and 1/2 cup of frozen raspberries (or other berries) - it's really refreshing in the summertime!

I can't for the life of me stomach whey protein... gives me liquid poos for the entire day.

Been using pea Protein and that works for me even though I hate the taste.

Amazon has a lot of sample size packs you can order to try versus buying a whole container without knowing if you like it or if you're like me and your body just rejects it outright

You aren't the only one. I try and stick to vegan protein and paleo protein both work. When I'm too lazy to make a shake I drink a premier but usually regret it. No clue why.

      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?
