I bought the Jillian Michaels Protein Powder from Walmart. It's not too bad. I do think I'm going to buy myself some of the Unjury brand. I like that they have a chicken flavor one so you can add it to your broth!!!!

I have tried several "Protein Powders" since I was banded in September 2012. I just found an awesome one that has a Protein level of "30 grams of protein" and "2 grams of sugar". The name is "On" Platinum Hydro Whey - you can find it on Amazon, trial size is about 17 -20 drinks- It is great after trying several brands of protein.

ErinSue2000,

Here's the list I have from my doctor: unjury, smoothie King Gladiator High Protein/Low Carb, Labarada Lean Body, EAS Myoplex Low Carb/Lite, BSN Syntha-6 Core Series, Isopure (20 oz bottle), Nature's Best Zero Carb Isopure (2 scoops), Nectal, Protein Shots (dilute in Propel), IDS Sports New-Whey 42 liquid Protein, Myoplex (regular), Myoplex Lite (2 scoops), Muscle Milk Lite, Worldwide Sport Pure Protein, whey isolate Protein (1 scoop)

Protein Powdered Mixes - A good Protein Drink should have the following nutrients per serving: +20 grams protein per scoop/serving, 7 grams or less of carbohydrate/sugars per scoop/serving, 5 grams or less of fat per scoop/serving

Hope that helps you with finding a Protein Drink.< /p>

MissMia9,

I have been using the unjury powders. I like the chocolate Spendor best. I tried the sample packet of the chicken flavored one, but I didn't care for it. It's not like regular chicken broth. It's got kind of a creamy texture to it, which is okay, but it was hard for me to finish the whole thing. You might want to try the unflavored powder and add it to a broth you like. I tried mixing it in sugar free Jello when I made it and it turned out okay. Except for the Jello not being quite clear, I couldn't really taste it.

I love the low carb Isopure shakes. You don't even need a blender, they mix up great with just a spoon.

As of late, I have been drinking the ready to drink chocolate Premier Protein shakes. They have 160 calories, 30 grams Protein, 1 gram of sugar and 5 grams of carbohydrates. You can get them at Sam's Club or costco. My Sam's Club has been selling them for $18.88 per case of 12. They are really convenient, taste good and if put them in the freezer for a bit, you get a nice thick frosty shake!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
