From VST I've learned that there is quality Protein and so so protein -- I had no idea before coming here!

I've tried a number of Protein shakes and a few protein powders (Syntrax Nector and Prescriptfit) and the only one that I can really stomach are the Atkins shakes. Does anyone know if they contain a quality protein or a low grade?

I ordered a bunch of samples from Unjury but I have a feeling I'm not going to fare much better with those based on what I've read here.

Thanks!

Dana

I really had a time finding the ingredients for the Atkins lines.

After reviewing them I would say if you just can't stomach whey, these would be a reasonably good alternative.

I also learned of another shake today. It's Jay Robb, it is egg based and stacks up pretty well in Protein quality.

Can you share what you found about the Atkins shakes/powder?

Unfortunately it's bad news for you Louise, Atkins gets its Protein from milk concentrate, soy, & gluten. Milk being the primary ingredient.

Soy & gluten are both incomplete Proteins, but since neither are the primary I think that it is a reasonable option for most people.

Says right on the pack "made with High Quality Protein" these I can stomach. Gastric Sleeve in March 2022 had a leek and could not tolerate Protein Shakes. I went 2 months on Jello, crystal light, and Protein gateraid. YUCK! I'm only now starting to get back in to drinking my shake b/c I just can't "eat" enough. A few bites and I'm done. I'm really loving this Mocha Latte flavor. Want to try some others!

Add a Protein booster to them and that should help get the amounts up closer to where you need them to be.

I’m assuming she means to add Protein Powder to them.

      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.
