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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
