I tried Premier Protein and it taste like drinking a milk shake. It's really good.

I use Premier Protein that you can get at Sam's or costco. They taste exactly like chocolate milk out of the dairy case and the great thing is they are 30 grahams of Protein each. The vanilla taste just like the chocolate to me but have a little powdery feel so I just get the chocolate now.

I can sometimes handle muscle milk light. Mostly (now post op) I am drinking Isopure. Not a lot of calories, but good Protein and not terrible. The flavors that are the red/purple/mango&peach are the ones I can drink. I add Water to make them less sweet. They are online & at GNC.< /p>

I tried several and I found that Premier Protein's are the best out there. Reasonably priced too.

I like the premier Protein as well......someone suggested adding 2T dry, nonfat milk and 2T of PB2 (a Peanut Butter powder) to their chocolate shakes.......I was getting bored with the Premier Protein drinks, so I put that all in a blender with the chocolate, and it was quite yummie.

The nice thing about the premier is they are ready to drink, grab and go

I LOVE New Direction shakes, Soups and puddings.

Also GNC powder ( vanilla) mixed with diet Snapple. ( wide mouth jars are a plus)

Awe...don't feel bad. Just keep trying. Maybe you can add one of the Torani flavors to it such as caramel, hazalnut, or vanilla. Some say they have tried that which make it better for them. Plus they are sugar free.< /p>

      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.
