KYChristi 5 Posted August 23, 2013 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.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScottsGirl 106 Posted August 23, 2013 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). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KYChristi 5 Posted August 24, 2013 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 believe they sell the Premiere shakes and EAS shakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
