Am having a hard time getting my protean drinks down. Does anyone know what would happen if I didn't drink the protean drinks? Also what are some good ones that y'all have found cause all the ones I have tried taste like bad. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I like the EAS AdvantEdge. Tastes like strawberry Quik milk to me. I accidently froze mine and ate it like ice cream until I saw I wasnt supposed to. I called the company and they said it would only expand and distort the carton it comes in and the texture would change. It worked for me!!!

Hey Jenn, I really like the Atkins shakes the best for taste. They DON'T have as much Protein as the EAS or Premier, Unjury, etc.... I just bought some of the premier ones at costco (on sale right now) and I like those too. I have the unjury powder and I like the chocolate splendor a lot and the chicken Soup is great for the liquid phase. I haven't had the vanilla or strawberry yet. I really think this is a trial and error for each of us. I have bought most of the ones talked about on here. I greatly dislike the muscle milk light. yuckie to me. Hope this helps you some, good luck!

I actually found a really delicious one by a company called Syntrax. The brand is nectar and the chocolate Truffle flavor is awesome! It doesn't even taste like you're drinking a Protein shake...give it a try! The Vanilla Bean Torte flavor isn't bad either, and they have a whole variety of fruit flavors too.

Not consuming enough Protein means that you are more likely to lose muscle mass than fat. If necessary in the healing stages, drink milk. You'll have to drink more than you would drink of shakes, but if you cannot find a shake you'll actually drink, you need to.

      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.
