Ok, I know there are a gazillion threads on Protein Shakes, but I don't know how to find them on my phone! :) I'm trying to locate a Protein Shake that tastes YUMMY! I like EAS soy Protein shakes in vanilla, but there are 19 carbs in a serving and too many calories. I just purchased muscle milk Protein Powder in chocolate, and it tastes NASTY!! :-( I'm going to be throwing it away! I have been looking through reviews on Amazon and syntax has great reviews, but so do sooo many others! Plus there is an endless selection of protein powders! Should I just go with the Syntrax Nectar? What tastes GREAT plus has low carbs? If it matters, I am looking for a chocolate flavor so i can alleviate the cravings lol!

I went to smootie king. Bought the gladiator chocolate mix. Its great and I add whatever fruit or PB2 to it. And its low sugar and garb. Its the only one my nut says I can have. Its 50.00 for a huge container

Syntrax matrix mint cookie- Many people claim it is by far the best Protein Shake they have ever tried. I agree- Absolutely decadent. Syntrax matrix also has some other chocolate flavors. I mix it with unsweetened almond milk. I look forward to it every day because I enjoy it so much.

What is PB2?

PB2 is a Peanut Butter powder. Its low Cal fat. It comes plain Pb or chocolate flavor. Both delicious. I buy it from my des office. But ive seen it cheaper on baratric advantage.com

I bought oh yeah strawberry Protein shakes from Amazon. I think a 12 pack was $36. It's 14 ounces and 32g of Protein and it's 220 calories with 3g of sugar. It really tastes good especially cold. It doesn't taste chalky at all but rather like a healthy milkshake.

I also like Premier Protein shakes from costco

The Syntrax cookie mint one is good too.

Good luck!!

My 3 favorite are Syntax Matrix chocolate, Unjury vanilla, & Unjury unflavored. They meet all the nutritional requirements, mix well hot or cold, in drinks or food, & taste great, not gritty.

Question about Syntrax Matrix. I've heard mixed things about it being that it's not straight whey isolate but a mix and we are suppose to have just whey isolate. Any input on that? I've yet to try the matrix but I've heard mint cookie and Cookies and cream are delicious and I really want to buy some but I've been unsure because it's not straight isolate.

I have tried several. Muscle milk, muscle milk lite, oh yeah, body fortress (wal mart), and a couple others I can't think of right off.

I really like the Body Fortress stuff. I have no issues with it at all. I mix with milk though, not so hot with plain Water unless you mix strong. I have the chocolate and vanilla. Love the chocolate, awesome with some Peanut Butter. I am not even a big vanilla fan but I like this. I mix it with Dannon greek yogurt and it's great. I even throw in some peanuts or cashews to add some Fiber and even extra Protein and it gives it some texture. It's not that expensive and may be worth a try if you have not tried it yet.

        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
