I also hate milk and don't drink it. Muscle milk lite in chocolate flavor is pretty good ( despite the name, there is no milk in it). Premier Protein is OKAY, but a little milky. I like it better though because you get more shake and Protein for the calories, and less carbs. Don't do the Atkins shakes or EAS, way too milky tasting. I haven't tried nectar, but it sounds delicious.

Hi myshine,

You can make your own Protein shakes - use soy milk or no milk - use Water ice and some 1/4-1/2 cup low fat yogurt etc... Just be mindful of the cal if you prepare yourself.

yes i have drunk the Protein Shake w/o milk (and as lee said toss in some ice and with a vitamixer, we got a party)...i couldnt take the muscle milk taste so i have used whey extreme from Walmart in chocolate for 10+ months now...i also drink one every day (to help my Protein quota and because i like the taste).....and have put in the freezer to make my own slush..just depends on your taste...and what you like or dont like.

Ok so i keep reading posts about Protein shakes and this is a little weird but i dont drink milk it makes me wanna vomit. Ive always been this way so my question is are their any Protein shake without milk?

Pretty much ANY powdered protein you get you can mix in Water, or any other liquid of your choice - people tend to mix in milk to give it more of a milkshake like taste.

I am not a big fan of chocolate or vanilla and so for me I LOVE the syntha-6 Peanut Butter cookie Protein Powder (you can get it now at GNC, or online)

it is deliciousness in a cup lol. But I like it with milk better however it is just as yummy with Water too

You don't have to drink your Protein (I don't think). My nutritionist said that she'd much rather I chew my Protein and eat "real food" than drink my protein. Talk to your nutritionist. I believe though, in order to get your proper protein in for the day, it can be a real boost. It is also vital to the healing process immediately after surgery as you're still on liquids for weeks after your surgery in most cases and protein helps to HEAL you. One of the best effects is that it makes you feel full longer. Definitely ask your nut to help out. Many of the Protein Shakes out there aren't milky and there are other ideas out there. Get your medical team involved - they're there to help! :D

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
