Hello, all. I haven't been "here" in a bit. What are some of the better-tasting CLEAR LIQUID protein supplements; also which others? [I don't do well with sucralose, but I know it's in practically all of those things, so I'll deal with it for a bit. But usually, I do NOT lose with sucralose/splenda.]

I had my VSG Dec. 2013 and have done very, very well. I am totally THRILLED with my surgical results, and my life hence!!!! ALL GOOD. But this past year, I gained a few pounds; not because I could eat a lot of anything, but I admittedly, had more carbs, sugar, etc. So I gained ~ 14 pounds. Not bad, but not wanted.

Overall, I've gone from 272--->180; now hanging at 195. But I'm wearing a size 12, feeling good, and not camera shy at all. Still sexy, etc. Yes, I can say that. But I don't want to be anywhere near that 200 mark!! So, I need to get serious again and get to 175--my overall goal weight. [I thought I wanted to be 160, but I don't want my face to look much thinner].

I want to do the hard turn back to some liquids for a week or two. Any thoughts on which ones are tasting good these days? Thank you in advance.

The Isopure Zero ones are ok - 40 grams of protein. Sucralose though - I had to stop drinking them, due to 'inconvenient' consequences.

I remember Isopure; some days I could tolerate it, others, not. But I might try it again for a few days, since it's clear. Thanks.

And I didn't have any "inconvenient" reactions to sucralose; it just blocks my weight loss. Documented...it really does. Thanks.

Really? I've never heard of that, but I guess I haven't really looked into it. I just immediately started avoiding it and I was able to spend less time browsing insta in the bathroom...

Splenda (sucralose) used to say "it tastes like sugar, becaus it's made from sugar." And with that--being 'made from sugar'--in me, it ACTS like sugar, and blocks my weight loss.

When I stopped using splenda/sucralose (and went back to Sweet & Low), I lost nine pounds, with just that simple change. I discovered that seven years ago, even before my VSG. But to each his own.

Unfortunately, practically all of these supplements have that stuff in it, so I mostly avoid it. But... we'll see for a week or so, if that's all I'm ingesting. [cold turkey attempt.] :-)

These are great and come in different flavors. I use a scoop of each per shake for over 30grams of protein.

I really like Premier Protein water. 20 grams of protein per bottle. I found it as Sams.

Where do you find these? I REALLY need to go cold turkey again: back to liquids only for a bit. I have gained weight and can't break my cravings, NOTE to ALL: DON'T DO CARBS! lol. They lead to cravings, overeating and eating fast now. Plus, the effect of them takes days to clear, so the cycle continues. Aaagghh. I WILL get back on track. I must :-).

Premier Protein Clear in the Mixed Berries flavor? Only one I've found to try.?
