Hey everybody!!!! I have a quick question: what can I do for Protein other than Premier Protein Shakes!!! I am having the hardest time drinking those things now, they are horrible it's like drinking overly sweet chocolate milk. Any suggestions because it's hell trying to get one down now. Please help in Michigan lol

Protein waters aren't quite as sweet as the shakes. And you can dilute them even further if you want. I like Protein2O.

I found "New Whey" drinks on Amazon. Different flavors, diluted with ice and it tastes like KoolAid. It has 42g of Protein, plus your liquid you mix it with! Win-win!

I feel like a broken record but I'll suggest it again. Try powdered Protein Shakes. You make them how you want, thick or watery and you can add things to them. I find them not nearly as sweet as the premier shakes even though I only tried one vanilla shake pre surgery. The main one I use is Body Fortress and I buy it at Walmart. It's like $17 for a 2lb container. Also like @Orchids&Dragons suggested, Protein2O drinks are great. 16.9oz towards your Water intake and 15g of Protein.

I read on here to add the shake to Decaf coffee or tea,I tried. it and it does cut the sweetness. One thing about drinking the sweet shakes everyday I don't think I'll ever want to eat sweets again!

I take unflavored GENEPRO. I got it from Amazon and it’s 30 grams for a small scoop. I put it in my mug of chicken broth. You can put this in anything. I hate shakes!

Isopure clear Protein Drinks. One bottle has 40 grams of Protein & 160 calories. I bought them at GNC & they were buy 5 get 1 free. I also just bought Ghost brand powder in Peanut Butter Cereal milk, I haven’t tried it yet but several people I know love it.

Don't buy too many of the Isopures to begin with. I found that they left a gross film in my mouth. UGH!

Also lower in Protein and higher in Carbs (5g P and 12g C). I don't think this is a good choice.

I'm just going by what my doctor and nutritionist told me. I prefer the Premier Protein, but since that is not an option for this person, I was providing an alternative.

      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!!
