I Think I'm Addicted To My Protein Shake



Recommended Posts

So I know there have been lots of posts and discussions about Protein and Protein shakes and powders etc. I happen to love the Pure Protein Shakes in the can. I found them by accident and have started a love affair with them. The problem is that there not for sale just anywhere. I order mine off of Amazon in a subscribe and save, to cut down on cost but the shipping time is crazy long. I ordered these on the 8th and just got them today. And I like them so much that I save them for the weekdays but there are only 12 cans in a pack so I'm spending quite a bit of money to get them....but I find that on days when I don't have one I snack more and crave junk more. It is so weird to me because I have never found a Protein shake that I like before. I can tolerate the powder ones for a little bit but they gross me out. I haven't tried the unflavored yet though and I mean to try it. But for now I think I will stick to these and keep loosing weight cause it's working.

Plus I can put the chocolate flavored ones in my cofffee with a tiny bit of peppermint extract and I feel like I have a peppermint mocha coffee, which makes my insides very happy!

PS If anyone knows where I can get them cheaper please let me know!

I get the Premier Protein shakes from costco. They are really good, 30gr Protein, and only 1 gr sugar. They are less expensive than the ones online and I dont have to pay shipping either (They are about $24 for 18 shakes)

Do you have a "Vitamin Shoppe" near you? I think I saw those in multi-packs at the one close to me (Nashville)...but I don't remember how much they were. You could also ask your local pharmacy how much it would cost for them to order in large quantities for you..??

I've seen these at GNC.. just the chocolate and vanilla ones though. I definitely agree about the flavor. They are the best I've had and have no after taste at all. I fell in love with the banana and the Cookies and cream. I put mine in the freezer and it's almost like having a malt.

Thanks ladies unfortunately I don't have a costco or Vitamin Shoppe around me and I can't seem to order the shakes from Costco's website because they aren't listed. I guess since mine cost roughly 23.97 and that includes shipping, that I will just stick with my Pure Protein Shakes until I can get to a Costco and grab some of those.

I really want to try the Cookies n cream next. I had thought about putting mine in the freezer, especially when I do my pre op since it will be full liquids. I thought if I froze one I could "eat" it and then feel like a person who can eat things.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
