Protein Pills and chewables



Recommended Posts

Hi! I'm new. Sleeved on August 14 and the absolute only issue is getting in the Protein. So, I did some (a very small) amount of research (meaning, I found out it existed) and found out there are protein pills and chewables!! They are fairly inexpensive. Someone, anyone!!!, have any experience of these or knowledge as to why I should continue to struggle down Protein Shakes instead?? Obviously, I will consult my surgeon, but not today! It's a Friday night. And he's on vacation. He's probably lying on a tropical beach eating protein!!! Anyway, there has never been any mention of these little jewels so I'm wondering if they're too good to be true....

The tablets have VERY LOW Protein grams and contain Phenylketoneurics: which contains Phenylalanine, this chemical is in diet soda and will stimulate your appetite. What Protein Shakes are you drinking??? I drink (2, 11oz) Premier Choc - 30 grams protein, and love them! I also drink (1, 20oz) pineapple Orange banana Isopure - 40 grams protein (the only one I tolerate - taste wise).

Oh, I do not want anything to stimulate my appetite!!! Lol. I've tried Visalus which isn't bad but doesn't have enough Protein in each one to warrant me drinking them. I have to drink 6 to get enough. I've also tried the whey powder from Walmart. Need I say more? I just today tried the Unjury unflavored with no success. Tomorrow, I'm headed in search of Isopure. Someone said the unjury flavored wasn't bad. Where do you get the premiere chocolate? I'll be on the lookout for that, too. I live in a very small town so unless walmart has it in stock, it's an hour drive to find something. That's why I hope I find something I can do quickly!!! Thanks for your response. I really figured it was too good to be true; otherwise why would there be shakes? ??

I have several friends who like the shakes sold at Walmart. I believe they sell the Premiere shakes and EAS shakes.

      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.
