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'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? 🤷‍♀️
