Worried because I haven't found a protein shake yet.



Recommended Posts

I had a little trouble finding my "shake of choice" too. First of all, I don't really care for the powders, and I tend not to spend the time setting up, using, and cleaning the blender. So I needed a pre-made shake. But most of the shakes I tried were too sweet, or just tasted awful. But then I hit pay dirt. The best shake I've found - by a mile - is Premier Protein, chocolate (Vanilla's no good). But the chocolate is creamy and delicious (at least until you've eaten nothing but that for a few weeks, then anything gets old.) I'm four weeks post-surgery now, so I've been drinking them for 5-6 weeks. They have 30 grams of Protein, 160 calories, and only 1 gram of sugar. I have one every morning for Breakfast, and another at night if I'm short on my Protein intake for the day. You can get them in boxes of 18 at costco. Seriously, give them a try. They saved my butt. Good luck!

unjury makes a chicken Soup powder that I love! Tastes to me like regular chicken broth. You have to make sure you follow the directions and don't mix it with Water hotter then 140 degrees or it will clump and you will throw it away. I make hot Water in my Keurig coffee machine and let it sit for about 5 minutes to get to about 125 - 130 degrees. Add a scoop, stir and enjoy. I even made it for a friend of mine who "hates" Protein Drinks and she didn't know the difference. When you open the jar it even smells like chicken broth.< /p>

Others I like are: Syntrax Nectars Lemonade Stand; Premier Protein pre made in chocolate; Pure Protein Powder in chocolate.

When you try a brand, unfortunately you have to try the different flavors. Example: I HATE Unjury strawberry and Pure Protein vanilla! blech!

Good luck in your quest! :)

PS - Unjury will send you free samples to your doctor's office. They stopped sending them to individuals, but if you call with your doc's info, they will send to you through the doc. (Probably loosing too much money on samples!)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
