Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

I am looking to continue loosing weight before my surgery hopefully in late July or August. I was looking for recomendations for the best/most affordable Protein Shakes and supplements. I work a very strange schedule and it's hard for me to get in 3 meals a day and something I can take on the go would work out best for me.

Thanks!

nectar is by far the best tasting Protein Powder. Great source of Protein too.

I really like Premier Protein chocolate shakes. They are available in 12 packs at Sam's Club and costco. You get 30 grams of Protein for only 180 calories. I also use Pure Protein chocolate Deluxe Bars for my lunch. They have 20 grams of protein, only 2 grams of sugar, and are just 180 calories. I get these at Target. Both are ready made and easy to take when you are in a hurry or if you travel. I have a shake every day. The bars I typically eat for lunch at work. I know that the powders are sometimes more economical, but convenience is also a factor for me, and these products make getting my protein in every day very easy.

Good luck!

I am having my band removed and RNY done in a week. I have a lot of experience with Protein powder. I prefer unjury. But, nectar is also good.

I am having my band removed and RNY on June 25th. I really like Bariatric Advantage brand. They have unflavored you can add to anything! Adds 27g Protein and is awesome. I swear by their new multi Vitamin chews as well. Best of Luck!

I use unjury unflavored Protein powder because I can add it to a drink or just about any food. I also use Premier Protein drinks because they have 30 grams of Protein per shake and I occasionally have a Quest bar, which has 20-21 grams protein per bar.

I tried muscle milk, It taste like chemicals to me. I threw it out. Right now I am using pure Protein plus from sam's club. It's only 17 dollars for a big container.

Premier Protein from sam's will give you the most Protein for the lowest price as far as ready-made shakes go. If ur looking for powders, Unjury is really good (and good for u). A lot of the GNC powders/ready-made shakes are yummy. I like the pumpkin spice (limited to holiday season), cinnamon bun, and banana.< /p>

This is what we are drinking. We also drink Advantage (I think that's the name....) from Wal-Mart. These two have the best protien, low sugar, low carb low fat combo that I've found so far.

My husband and I have been drinking the Atkins Protein Shakes. They are inexpensive and you can find them everywhere. They taste pretty good and are the ready to drink ones. They make my life easier at work.

Hope that helps!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
