I never ever ever liked to drink Protein shakes. That's until I found Muscle Milk Lite. Not the pre-made shakes. No, that powder one. It taste's great. So much so that I'm drinking it every morning w/o milk. The chocolate flavor is the only one I can speal great about. vanilla grossed me out. I really want to try Peanut Butter but I'll wait.

P.S. - Even my wife drinks it.

I agree - muscle milk light rocks. I even like the strawberry or banana one....

I really like Unjury. My favorite is vanilla, but I like them all. Well, I have not tried the chicken Soup flavor, sounds to gross to me.

I like Syntrax nectar Protein Powder the most. Vitamin Shoppe is a great place to buy Protein drinks from cause they have a no questions asked return/exchange. I bought one I didn't like and even lost the receipt and still had no problems exchanging it for a new one.

I have found that the ready-to-drink ones are better tasting than the powders. One I recently found at Target is Pure Protein, I like the Cookies and cream. Also the Unjury chicken Soup one is really good. It tastes like a cup o soup.

Unjury is the best vanilla and chocolate are great. Don't care for the strawberry but I mixed it with milk and they say you should mix it crystal light lemonaide. I had been using muscle milk chocolate but then I started reading a lot of articles on it saying it had a lot of dangerous chemicals in it so I threw it away. If you go to the Unjury web site and you get automactic delivery they will discount the price, and you can change or cancel at any time.:smile:

Passing on a tip I got from Betsy on here: I use Proti Vanilla and make it w/ unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk. Much easier to take. THEN she told me to throw in a spoonful of FF,SF chocolate pudding powder. WOO HOO a chocolate shake party in your mouth. I make it in the blender w/ a little ice.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
