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!

The Light Start Carnation Instant Breakfasts are good and low in sugar! I hope that helps!

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.

      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
