Hello everyone, What brands and flavors of Protein Shakes do you use and like? I know we all have different tastes but, it would be interesting to know the brands that are most popular. Where did you purchase them?

I used before and right after, and occasional now, the EAS carbadvantage. You can get them at Walgreens, Walmart, and sam's club. I found they are cheaper at Walmart than Walgreens and then even cheaper in bulk at sam's club. I love the ready to drink vs powder because I always thought that the powder was gritty. These are smooth and taste good. vanilla and chocolate. I also bought a "flavorless" Protein at Vitamin Shoppe. I did put it in Jello and what not but it does change the flavor completely. Hope this helps!

I used to buy from GNC and get amplified whey Protein but that costs like 50 bucks the GNC person said its better and absorbs better but can't afford that so I get just whey generic kind at target for 16 bucks!! I drink a shake and just get vanilla!! At GNC they have crazy good favors. I had my surgery 10 months ago and still losing 1.5 pounds a week total of 113 pounds good luck

Oh the GNC and generic aren't as greedy

Gritty

Just be careful if you're going to try Protein Shots. My surgeon said that the collagen based Protein is not nearly as good for you as the whey. Even though there is whey usually it's not enough to do any good.

Oh yeah, I personally like EAS and Atkins. But I recommend trying several kinds and flavors. My surgeon recommends Unjury but I'm not a big fan of it. She likes mixing strawberry powder with lemonade crystal light. It's actually pretty good.

I just tried the Pure Protein chocolate and really like that one. They have Vanilla also. Each has 25G of protein. I got it at Walmart. I also tried Matrix Mint Choc cookie and it was good too but, more for an afternoon shake for me.

My favorite is GNC Amplified. It goes cost more but I think it is worth it. It mixes up better and not gritty. My favorite flavor is Cookies and cream and then banana cream is my second choice.

I just picked up two containers of Syntrax Nectar...hoping they'll be good for a fruity flavored Protein. I don't want all chocolate so need to mix it up. I also bought the unflavored in hopes to mix it with chicken broth or other foods like oatmeal, cream of wheat etc when it's allowed.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
