Wow Finally A Protein Drink I Like!



Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

I just had to share. I have tried every Protein drink on the market. I am just shy of 2 years out. I ordered Real Meals powder and I like it. I got the vanilla and mixed it with Light vanilla soy milk. In 8oz I am getting 39 grams of Protein. Not bad...So excited to be getting in what my body needs. Just had to share. If you tried everything this one is good. No I dont work for them and paid full price! lol

i have been very fortunate to like Premier shakes at costco. i don't think I would be able to get my Protein requirements in otherwise. You have done very well with your weight loss! Congrats! I'm also 5'6" and I can't get below 146 on the good days. Now I find myself reverting back to old eating patterns and eating when I'm not hungry. I've got to get a grip. how do you handle these times? :)

Thank you!

I have a trick while I am at work. Protein bars are really heavy and filling for me. I take them and cut them up in bit sized pieces. When I feel I need to munch I grab a piece. I have been doing this for over a year. I hope this helps. It really does keep me full and helps with getting the Protein in also :o)

That's a good idea! I work midnights and its hard for me to work 12 hrs and not eat anything cuz it's so late. But that wud probably help me more than hurt me so I think I'll try that! Thanks!

Now that does sound like a great idea. I work nights on the weekends and have a hard time getting in protein as well as food (dinner is a challenge). If you have to "snack" on something, might as well make it worth it. BTW, why are so many Protein Bars chocolate? Is most of the protein in chocolate? :huh:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
