Having trouble getting my Protein. About to try Jay Robb protein unflavored. Had anyone used it. I had WLS on jan 28 and was 236 preop and I'm 208 post. It seems slow and too little could it be because I'm not getting all my protein?

I used J Robb for awhile.. Then the whole foods store where I got it just made it too pricey... But I liked it

I like Jay Robb too his Protein is good but too expensive for as much as we need.

Are you referring to Protein in general or the drinks? ? I bought some flavors from unjury.com. I love the chicken Soup (broth) it has 100 cal and 21 gr. of protein. strawberry Sorbet is okay in crystal light lemonade.

We had surg on the same day. I use unjury unflavored and make my own smoothies and shakes using frozen fruit. shakes using 1% milk and no sugar added hot chocolate packets.

Actually, your weight loss looks pretty good. I have not used Hay Robb but I found Syntrax Nectar chocolate Truffle was the easiest after surgery for me. I still have it every morning. The Unjury is good too.

I just hate the grit and thickness of some Proteins. I am going to order the Unjury not that so many have said good things about it. It is cheaper than the jay Robb and I would rather try something cheaper that all if you have recommended then spend more money on a big tub of Protein that I wouldn't like later.

I just worry because it's the only thing I'm failing on, is getting my protein. I know a lot if this is trial and error but I'm scared ill start putting on weight and I don't want that at all. Thank you for all your help.

You can buy unjury in packs to test first before buying a big bottle of it. i would highly suggest that.

I'm with you - I HATE PROTIEN and dislike shakes of any type. Additionally I am allergic to whey.

I'm reading up on the recipies here and happy to see discussions about chkn broth!

I have to weed through this all and get some info. The Vega One protien powder I use requires a large amount to reach the protien needed and it's expensive! Its all gross to me though :(

Also core power Protein drinks are my Fav now. They're kinda expensive at about $3 a piece but no chalky or gritty texture or aftertaste. I buy mine off of Amazon. Read the reviews as well.

I have found I can drink the Syntrax Nextar Roadside Lemonade with a lemonade Crystal Light packet in it. It just has to be really cold!

Syntrax has sample packs as well, and like said above, ice ice baby!!!! The colder they are, the less protein-y taste and smell.

Hey SoccerMomma, question! Would it help with the chocolate ones if I mix up and put in the fridge for a while? I'm really digging this lemonade, but I only had the one sample! Gotta figure out something else till I can order some!

If I have time I stick mine in the freezer for 30-45 minutes, if I don't have time (which is my norm) I go for crushed ice....certainly can't hurt to try the fridge!!!!!

      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.
