I’m currently taking Max Muscle Pro Elite Protein. I drink it with Unflavored Almond Milk. It’s amazing stuff! I have 4 different flavors I drink. It’s nice to be able to switch it up! Max Muscle makes their Protein in many different flavors and they all taste pretty good for being Protein. powder mixes really good too! Even mixes good with water!
So what is everyone else on. Brand? Flavor? Does it taste good or nasty?


I buy protein Water from Amazon and I eat Atkins Protein Bars. I don't care for the Protein Drinks.< br>

I’ve given up on Protein drinks for a while. Now I am drinking chocolate mootopia, and 8oz has 12g of protein. They also have lactose free, so that has helped me. I am also using GENEPRO but counting one scoop as only 15g of protein.

I mean the RTD Premier Protein strawberry. My Walmart doesn't carry premier Protein at all. [emoji20]



I’m not sure where you live but, CVS, Rite Aide and Walgreens drug stores in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio usually carry the RTD strawberry, Carmel , banana, chocolate flavors. . I like the Unjury chocolate splendor and strawberry, the chicken PP is better if you let it set and then warm it up again but stir it slowly don’t shake it after rewarming and it isn’t foamy .

I am still in my pre, pre-op phase. I started trying to find a Protein Powder a couple months ago. I like Unjury all the flavors are good , I also like Premier Protein RTD. I keep 4 in the fridge all the time, I like to put them in my bullet blender and toss in 6 ice cubs it makes them even thicker . I can’t drink the pp if it is thin. I have tried plant Protein that I just can’t stand no matter what I do to it . I have nut allergies and it is hard to find PP that hasn’t been made in places that also process tree nuts and peanuts .

Could always add xanthum gum to your Protein Shakes and it'll make them thicker

But if you add too much it becomes completely undrinkable (I've turned a Protein Shake basically into gak before)

It's actually in most shakes for that very purpose to begin with

I really like the Unjury unflavored. I can add it to basically anything and I get massive Protein. Sprinkle it on applesauce or mashed potatoes or whatever. Right now I’m on the pre-op so I put a scoop in my Soup and it’s 21g protein from the powder alone.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
