rhondafranklin03 16 Posted December 28, 2013 I ev 1 I was sleeved dec 17 so I am 10 days post op. Down 25 pounds since surgery. My nut says are you getting down your Protein Shakes? Me: no they are disgusting. Nut: ok here is a brand that is fantastic!!!!! I swear you'll love it!!! It's called nectar Protein. So I go to Vitamin Shoppe to get it and mix it with Water almost threw up. As a matter of fact I started gagging. Now I'm turned off. But I need this protein any suggestions? I swear I wanna do right. So hard. But i am killing the crabs. Love love love it!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teachamy 1,042 Posted December 28, 2013 Have you tried WonderSlim Protein drinks? They have a mint hot cocoa, which is great. And right now I am drinking the Tangy Orange Protein Drink. Mixed with Water, it's basically like Crystal Light with protein.Also like the shakes that you can make into puddings by adding less Water are pretty good. Their stuff has been my saving grace! http://www.dietdirect.com/wonderslim-weight-loss-products-82.html#. BTW, I was sleeved on the 18th--my sleeve buddy!

GotItDoneInHarlem 302 Posted December 28, 2013 Isopure drinks are saving me. GNC has them. 1 LuminousLife reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SueJH 205 Posted December 28, 2013 which nectar did you get? I didn't like most of them either but I could handle the fuzzy navel one. Reminded me a little of orange juice instead of all the usual chocolate, vanilla and strawberry you usually have to choose from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhondafranklin03 16 Posted December 28, 2013 Hi sleeve buddy Amy!!! I haven't tried any of them. Isoplus I have seen but haven't tried it. I have a big strawberry nectar here I have to get down. But I will try some of the other brands. Maybe I'll put some in some pudding and mix it. Thanks for the suggestions ev 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maciasl2004 2 Posted December 28, 2013 Hi there ♥ I am looking for a buddy and or mentor... I had my surgery on the 18th and have only lost 10 pounds. What am I doing wrong? Any advice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teachamy 1,042 Posted December 28, 2013 You have a lower starting weight than a lot of people. (You're like me!) And you lost 10 pounds in 9 days. That's over a pound a day--a terrific loss! If you have a lower BMI to start with, you're closer to goal, so you won't lose as fast. You are doing nothing wrong! 1 maciasl2004 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LuminousLife 145 Posted December 28, 2013 I do Isopure cut with Water as well as Premier Protein. The rest make me yack. The smell of nectar turned me off. Can you have yogurt yet? I have Fage Greek plain and then I drizzle with agave. 1 PdxMan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhondafranklin03 16 Posted December 28, 2013 Yes I'm in stage 2 of my diet I can have yogurt. I think I want to try premier, heard from other people they were tasty. If this doesn't work I'll try maybe 2 more then I'm done. I will see if the have Protein pills. They have everything in pill form. Ev 1 lose differently, 10 pounds is great!!! I guess maybe I'm heavier, or have more Water weight to lose. But you can be out buddy to , keep in touch compare ask questions but most of all encourage. 1 maciasl2004 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dma2013 99 Posted December 28, 2013 I only drink premier ready made shakes. They are a little bit more expensive, but in my opinion well worth it Don't give up you really need to get the Protein in! 2 cindygs and kltklass reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
