I cant drink those protein shakes ! Help



Recommended Posts

I love the chocolate Mousse! LOL I add powder Peanut Butter to it... delish! What do you to mix it with? Did you like that Orange Cream? I just bought a tube of it today. I buy it at a local pharmacy...they stock all flavors. How did you hear about fusion btw?

I love the Bariatric Fusion powders. Or at least the cappacino, orange cream and the cinnamon bun ones. Wasn't a fan of the unflavored or chocolate mousse.


I still have the strawberry and mint choc chip to try.


I also love the no sugar added carnation instant Breakfast. Totally 100% tastes just like chocolate milk.

I mix all Protein powders with fat free milk. And yeah, the orange cream was pretty good.

My doc sells bariatric fusion. They also have all the flavors, in tubs and packets.

SJ, that's the one I wanted to try. The cappuccino. I did not like the cinnamon one. And I didn't like the unflavored Unjury but I heard the chix Soup was good but he was out. Did u end up getting the unjury starter kit?

The cappacino one tastes almost like cappacino. It was the first one in tried and the one I go back to the most. :) I still have the strawberry shortcake, mint choc ice cream, and vanilla to try.

I don't think I like the unjury unflavored either. I can smell It or something.

No. I haven't yet. I think I'm going to order it though. I dunno. The $8 shipping on $21 is kind of silly. Haha. I got the unflavored unjury at my docs office.

I do not like pre-made shakes. If my insurance approves those I am going to certainly try but the bariatric shakes I get here locally are really good. I like to doctor my shakes up anyways. So I am always adding to them. Because those powders are expensive I often use 1/2 scoop and add greek yogurt to it along with other ingredients to up the Protein. Does your insurance cover Premier? What other powders have you tried? Have they all been bariatric shakes??

So that's a no. Premier is the most recommended RTD shake on this site. I love it with a splash of Torani sf raspberry Syrup and it has 30g carbs.

Some ppl, like me, aren't allowed Greek yogurt on their preop. But I'll definitely give it a try after I'm cleared to.

I've tried unjury, about time, new direction, bariatric fusion and Bariatric Advantage. The only one that didn't make me gag or make me sick was about time. It has like 5 ingredients and you can pronounce every one. Uses stevia as a sweetener.

I didn't use it pre op (the greek yogurt) I wasn't allowed either. I don't like pre made shakes because in past experience, pre-made shakes have always had a gritty taste plus I am very happy with fusion. If my insurance approves it will be the only way I try it. I think it would be beneficial to have a pre made shake (in my purse/car) available for times when I can't get to my kitchen blender and I am in a pinch to get something into my stomach.

I honestly prefer using whole foods and plant Proteins to make my own shakes b/c many of those shakes have a lot of fillers and other ingredients I can't pronounce.

My friend recommended Unjury but I am happy with Fusion so I am not really shopping around for anything else.

Honestly.. the shakes are the only thing my stomach doesn't do flips when it hits my belly so I have been primarily doing shakes even though I have been cleared for a soft diet.

BTW, how much are those Premier shakes?

At our class they had so many but the ones I WANTED to try were not there. My nut brought samples from her own supply so we didn't feel like we were forced into buying their office's brands they carry

Right about $19.88 for a 12 pk at SAMs. You may look up about time. It's tryabouttime.com. That's my nut's favorite. It's the one that's gluten free, vegan and uses stevia as it's sweetener. Not too bad.

Cool. I'm thinking you could get more there and I'll pay you for the price. Although we got to TASTE different things, my dr office only sells New Direction and Barf-Bariatric Advantage. Lol

I need to try that!! (Decaf and the cappacino). And I really need to get some torani syrups. Where do you buy em? I'd prefer to try and find some at a store, instead of ordering since I'm a procrastinator and am running out of time. Lol

Girl, I got mine at Walmart on the coffee aisle. Be careful n make sure you get the sugar free. They have a minimal selection at walmart. If you have a whole foods or central market, they have shit-tons there.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
