Protein supplements



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I am looking for a good tasting Protein supplement that I can start drinking before my surgery. I am looking for liquid b/c it is much more convenient for me with my schedule. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks Karen

I like the New Whey Protein Shots that have 42 grams per 4 ounces. I put 2 ounces in about 20 ounces of Water, tastes like a flavored water. They come in grape, watermelon and fruit punch. I've gotten them a Walmart. I have used Unjury Protein Powder before which is pretty good. Right now I am using powermax from GNC. They have a policy that if you buy it and don't like it, you can return it. Preop is a great time to sample around and see what you like, but keep in mind, your tastes may change a bit post op as well or you get tired of a certain type. Good luck!

I drink Premier Protein drinks, flavors are vanilla or chocolate, I prefer chocolate - I purchase mine at costco but I've heard you can also get them at Sams club. Very good flavor and convenient. 30 grams of Protein - 160 calories. 18 per case, $24.95 (in Iowa)

I drink Premier Protein from costco. chocolate is the best one. My husband, who is not banded and LOVES chocolate milk, drinks them too and he really enjoys them. I catch him sneaking them every once in a while. c:

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
