Just posted this morning under the thread I have listed....

I have Optimum Nutrition (ON) Gold Standard 100% whey powder in Double Rich chocolate and one in salted Carmel. I mix it with Silk Unsweetened Soy Milk and place in the fridge overnight. Can't drink it directly after mixing because it gives off a terrible smell.

After it sat overnight it literally was delicious and I have a huge taste and smell aversion issue to tons of things. ON comes highly recommended (over 11,000+ reviews alone on Amazon. Plus if you purchase at a Vitamin Shoppe and don't like the taste, you can return it for a full refund. Try different flavors and once you know what you like order cheap online.

I drink GNC total lean premade shakes. Best when you drink them cold or over ice.

Okay first thanks posing this question, while I am sure others have chimed via various post on other topics and forums (post -op and such), I am greatful for the folks who share what they are drinking.

So for me right now I am drinking EAS lean vanilla mixed with EAS regular chocolate :) why? because the chocolate has a good flavor but is chalk like if not mixed well, while the vanilla in 2x serving doses is great tasting, but I don't want 2 servings.

So I found that if I take a small container (something that holds 1-2cups of Water with screw lid) and place 3 scoups of vanilla and 2 scoups of chocolate shake well (one weeks worth of Lunch) .When its time for lunch, I take one scoup of the mixed powder with Water and its smooth taste pretty good to me. This is how I was able to drop a few pounds..

Now my surgeon who I mentioned this too, said there are some other brands of protien powder that are clear, but she was perfectly fine with me utilizing the current brand I use and the fashion I use it in, since I have already adjusted to it.

Now I saw someone posted Cookies and cream flavor, I will be hunting that brand down and trying it. :)

Thank you all for posting such great info and insight

My personal fave is BSN Syntha-6 powder, chocolate cake batter flavor. I mix it with a cup of milk, making 30g Protein total.

I also like ProtiDiet Soups, especially the creamy chicken.

Those are the only Proteins I've tried that I think taste good and I've tried quite a few others (including Premier...yuck).

I LOVE the BSN Syntha 6 ones (Mochaccino is my favorite but they are all good) and have them once in a while now that I am in maintenance, but they are a lot higher carb than many.

That's true. They do. On my program, they haven't told me to minimize carbs yet. They just said to make sure everything has less than 10g sugar per serving. These work cause they have 2g.

@@Elode The Syntrax is so thin compared to Premier. Am I doing something wrong?

They are thinner. If you mix with milk--cow's, almond, cashew, hemp, soy, whatever, it will be thicker but never as thick as the premier. It's one of the reasons I prefer it to the premier...I don't like the thickness. That's why there are so many kinds!

@@Linaka No it's not as thick. I use the coconut almond milk for mine. I like the coconut flavor! It won't be thick like PP though.

Isopure unflavored added to Soup or broth was a godsend. I needed something not sweet. Bang for the buck the Isopure NoCarb teas are great for hitting those Protein AND Fluid goals. I split one bottle into thirds and mixed in my Water. My water bottle is 24 ounces. I drink that 3 times a day. At the end of the day I've gotten in 72 ounces of fluids and 40 gms of Protein not counting my food. It makes hitting 100gms of protein easy. On the cheap side I use CVS brand vanilla powder in my coffee instead of cream. I don't drink coffee every day but when I do, this is a nice boost.

        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
