Premier Protein has been a lifesaver. Their vanilla is great. Heard their other selections are tasty except the caramel made me gag if I drank it more than once per day.

My NUT told me when I asked about Premier Protein that it dose not contain the 30g of Protein. I love them so she said to only count them as 20g. The carnation no sugar added is not bad.

Then what is the extra 40 calories made up of?

I would ask your nutritionist for the Protein, fat, sugar, calorie and carb limits instead of particular brands so you can look for others. I am pre surgery (and praying that my insurance approves!), so I am testing out shakes to see what I can tolerate. So far Premier Protein has been the one with the least aftertaste. I blend it with ice and Decaf espresso powder (trying to wean off caffeine now, since I will have to after surgery for a while). It also has 30 grams of Protein so that means fewer shakes to drink to get the protein in. I tried Muscle Milk and hated it. GNC Lean shake was VILE. I stupidly bought a whole tub of the powder too. I am going to try one scoop instead of two with a cup of high protein Fairlife milk, that will have about the same amount of protein without so much artificial sweetener. I hope that is palatable because 2 scoops with Water is disgusting, like pouring Sweet n' Low onto your tongue. Atkins aren't too bad, but they have a lot less protein than Premier. So far I've tried the chocolate premier, I'm going to try caramel, vanilla and banana next. I really wish they sold them in singles. Also, there are some protein Soups you can try, they are also gross but not nearly as gross as artificial sweetener. I tried making one chicken broth flavored whey protein Soup and using Bone Broth instead of Water and that really bumped up the protein.

Isopure is one of the best. It is either a powder or a clear liquid. It is on the higher priced side of Protein powders but the macros are great and the taste is fantastic in my opinion

Body Fortress at Walmart. Whey Protein 30g of protein, 8g of carbs and very affordable. $17.00 for 2lb tub. Isolate protein 30g of protein, 2g of carbs, $19.00 for 2lb tub. I mixed it with almond milk for pre op diet and now I mix with Water post op. I've also added to pudding mix and yogurt. Tastes really good. So far have tried vanilla and PB and chocolate. Yet to try strawberry, Chocolate and Cookies & Cream.

My NUT recommended Premier Protein 30g per shake. I like the RTD shakes. The most Protein for little volume (11 oz). strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, Carmel, peach, Cookies n cream, banana at Sams Club. I also like the Ensure Max 30 mg Protein shakes coffee flavor which does also have 100mg of caffeine- not sure if everyone can have caffeine - I certainly don’t drink them every day. I recently just got a couple new GNC flavors pumpkin Spice and Snickerdoodle both have 25g protein. All have 150-170 cal and are low carb.

Has anybody tried AdvantEDGE Protein Shake? It says or rather the packaging states, since RTD liquids don't have a voice;
100 calories ***
17 grams protein***
22 Vitamins and minerals***
15 Grams net carbs***
I had a coupon so I bought some at Wal-Mart---Did I waste my money $$$?

Only buy a few at a time (this also gives you an excuse to walk in Walmart or wherever post op) your taste and tolerances may change then you're stuck with stuff. I still have 12 bottles of premier clear Protein from 9 months ago I can't tolerate...

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
