I've never liked the kind you mix yourself. I stick with muscle milk light or Premier Protein and get it by the case at costco.< /p>

I didn't have problems once I found powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Proteins... they taste good (IMO) and I have enjoyed them.

I have seen other posters on the board talking about the smell of Proteins and they suggested drink from a cup with a lid (like the coffee cup with the little sipper holes) or a sippy cup.

Keep trying different brands and flavors until you find something you like. I could never do Isopure (any flavor) or the whey Protein bullets or any of those other ones. I got some liquid Prosource (available in bottles on Amazon) and did OK with that -- that's what my hospital mixes in with Crystal Light for the days post surgery and the flavor was OK.

Glad I'm far enough out ot be on real foods but I still do supplement with a shake many days.

I've never tried that kind - The muscle milk light is 140 calories, 8 oz. and has 20 g of Protein.

i also am struggling.

i have tried slimfast, boost, muscle milk light, unjury,glucerna, premiere, & Atkins shakes...... they are killin' me... i have to gag them down.

Atkins is the least offensive, but still hard....

i have unflavored powder that i add to yogurts & puddings, but can't add it to drinks...blech.

any other ideas?

I personally enjoyed eas complete Protein it tastes like a vanilla milkshake when mixed with soy milk. You can get it at Walmart or target. There is also Syntrax powders. I haven't tried them yet but they're highly recommended by people here.

Lol...I just found my question I posted the other day! I do use the syntrex brand an I do like the coffee chike I no it's got caffeine but it's gotten me thru some bad days...I bought the big container of the unflavored Isopure whey...I still gag! So my hubs uses it in his smoothies...I am slowly adding real food...I just can only get 4 or 5 bites at one sitting so I like drinking Protein in my beverage in between. ..right now just mixed a lil the whey in some powdered Jello an I'm drinking it...the cherry sf. ..I don't taste it in it so far! :)

I really like Giant Sports Delicious Protein. Got it at Vitamin Shoppe after the salesperson mixed me a sample- with Water and a shaker bottle-and it was edible. I've tried many brands, but this one saved my pre op diet and I still like it post op. Only tried vanilla so far, but I highly recommend it.

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

      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
