Hey guys the reason for my post is to get some ideas on what Protein Shakes you guys are using. I am drinking premier and have had muscle milk ones. But I'm getting tired of them I'm open to home made ones if you guys have any. Also any new ones that we can have that's low on sugar and good on Protein. Please help and thanks

I'm using Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard whey. So far the double chocolate has served me well. One thing I've found is adding a little softened PB mixes and creates a Reeses PB cup-like taste.

Another thing you can try is adding Protein powder to various foods. I sprinkle some powder on my vanilla Greek yogurt and it mixes to make a pudding consistency. Tastes pretty darn good too.

I really like Syntrax Protein Shakes. They come in some great flavors like fuzzy navel. They have 23g of Protein per scoop, 100cal, 0 carbs, 0 sugar. They don't have that "protein" taste. Do you know what I mean? The only downside is they don't come in ready to go shakes. You have to mix them yourself, but worth it. YUMMIE!!

Forgot. Optimum Nutrition is 110-120 calories per scoop with 24g Protein and only 1g sugar.

Also if you're allowed coffee or Decaf, adding some instant crystals to vanilla or chocolate shakes is pretty yummy!

I love the Protein Powder that Quest makes. My favorites are Salted Caramel and Cookies and Creme. I blend mine in a nutribullet with sugarfree almond milk and ice. It is better than a milkshake!

I live for the Syntrax shakes. Can't tolerate the shakes mixed with milk so these are perfect for me. My trick? Add a sleeve of Crystal Light Orange or Mango Peach to the Water before you mix it and add ice. It's heaven in a cup. Also, the Iced Tea with Lemon is wonderful too- I add crystal light lemonade to that one!!!!

Torani syrups has a bunch of sugar free ones. I added some sf brown sugar cinnamon to a vanilla Protein Shake and it was really yummy. I order online from their website.

Cost Plus World Market has the entire SF Torani Syrup line- well priced too. Love the SF raspberry and coconut!!! They even have chocolate! Can add these to your Water as well!!!

        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
