Monthly Cost for Protein?



Recommended Posts

I noticed that using Protein products like Unjury and Isopure can be costly. How much are you spending a month just to get some protein in?

They seem expensive but I actually did a financial analysis on spending on food pre wls and post wls. I am saving about $300 a month post wls on food.. I ate out a lot pre wls.

After my first week, I got most of my Protein from normal food.< /p>

I spend roughly $60.00 a month on Protein Drinks alone. It's what I need so I can't complain

I have one shake a day. I buy a 12 pack of Premier Protein (from SAMs) for $18.88. I buy it twice a month. I spend roughly $40.00 a month on Protein Shakes

I'm using the ENS shakes (vitamins in the shakes). A tub is about $60 and lasts me a month. WAY cheaper than buying the Vitamins separately, and like someone else said, I'm saving a small fortune not eating out!!

Isopure powder 3.5 lbs $50.00 directions say 2 scoops for 50 gram shake. I use one or two scoops a day depending on how much Protein I have eaten.I try to stay at 100 grams min. Sometimes wifey will comment on the $$ cost of my new lifestyle,I say what we save in pizza and Chinese take out puts us at break even , dr copays for the heart attack I was eating towards is pure profit!!!

      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. 🤞
