I overbought, thinking I wanted variety. Even though I have many brands and flavors, my defaults are powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate Splendor and Unjury strawberry Sorbet. Sometimes I make the chocolate with milk or the strawberry with Crystal Lite Lemonade. I can make both with just Water, or coconut milk, coconut Water, or almond milk.

I drink one daily for breakfast. 50 grams of Protein per shake. Lots of flavors, free shipping.

I've only tried 3 brands - EAS carb control, Muscle Milk and Premier Protein. All premixed and only the chocolate flavor. Premier Protein comes in 1st - being the smoothest and most like chocolate mile, EAS comes in a close 2nd (just a little grainy texture and waterier), Muscle Milk tasted good, just too many calories from carbs. I can usually find the Premier and EAS at Sams and Walmart for around $1.25/shake.

When I want a thicker shake, I toss in a scoop of powdered Protein mix.

Muscle milk 100 (low carb) is pretty good but I am unable to drink it post op. I am pretty picky and I was able to tolerate it preOp just fine.

I overbought also. I liked Premier Protein chocolate. Just threw up one last week. I want no more. My NUT told me a month ago to stop the shakes and eat real food anyway.

I eat real food at almost 8 months out, but I honestly still cannot eat enough to get in all my Protein, so I still have shakes 5 times a week. They are a real life saver for getting in Protein.< /p>

My current favorites are

Syntrax Matrix in chocolate flavors and Peanut Butter Cookie (I add an extra spoonful of PB2 to make it more nutty)

Chike coffee Protein powder (I have it hot or cold, sometimes add in a tbl of unsweetened cocoa powder to make a mocha)

unjury chicken broth protein

I also have Amazing Meal brand on occasion, and use hemp or pea protein instead of whey sometimes to mix it up. I get tired of whey all the time and I'm not crazy about soy protein flavor.

I drink this wakey shakey berry Protein shake which tastes really great. It is low in calories and very much suitable for those who have undergone the lap band surgery or other weight loss surgeries. It is low in carbs and high in Proteins which makes it ideal for those who wish to stay in shape.

Premier Protein has been my go-to since pre-op. I know myself so I knew that ready to drink would work best with my schedule (12 hour workdays because of long commute). It comes in strawberry, vanilla and chocolate, does not need to be refrigerated (although it is much better cold) and is easy to grab n go. I take five to work every monday and have one most mornings, or afternoon snack. I am over 3 months out and still cannot get all my Protein from food. Premier is economical too - $24 for 18 shakes at costco.

        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!

      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
