So I've tried a few Protein drinks, EAS Myoplex, EAS lean, Premier, Muscle Milk, and I hate them, all of them, they taste incredibly bad to me, any suggestions would be amazing! I'm almost a month out and need to get the Protein in. So frustrated because the nutrition places around me don't really like to give out samples just shakers and t-shirts when you spend a gazillion dollars in their store -_-

HELP!

Are those all RTD? I pretty much hated all the RTD I tried* -- much prefer mixing my own. My favorite powder brands are Syntrax Nectar (especially the Sweets line), Syntrax Matrix, Chike, Unjury chocolate Splendor, and Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard. You can get samples from Nashua Nutrition (just google Nashua Nutrition Protein samples) for all those brands except Unjury, which you can buy from the Unjury website.

I mix mine with unsweetened cashew milk or unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but if you want dairy (more protein) look for high-protein, low-carb milk such as CarbMaster or Fair Life.

I also use a lot of Torani SF syrups to change up the flavors and improve them. Another favorite add-in is instant coffee, you can make things like a vanilla latte or hazelnut mocha etc.

An immersion blender is the best way to mix shakes without clumps or foam IMO.

*I did like Atkins shakes, particularly the Cafe Caramel and Dark Chocolate Royale, but the numbers on those shakes are pretty iffy IMO.

Have you tried Isagenix? A bit expensive but really good for all things nutritionally including protium of course..

You know, I was drinking the chocolate Premier Protein shakes just fine for all the 6 months I had to eat a low carb diet while seeing my dietitian. Once I started my second week of my liquid diet where I was allowed to drink Protein Shakes again, something was just not agreeing with me with those shakes. TMI, but they were giving me diarrhea, so I tried the chocolate truffle flavor from nectar, as suggested by my dietitian because it's both lactose and gluten free. I'm going to give myself a little more time to try out the Premier Protein shakes one more try before calling it quits because I really like them. I don't have gluten issues, but the chocolate truffle nectar Protein Powder tastes great with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I've been able to eat puddings with no problem, so I'm not entirely sure it's a dairy/lactose issue. As Cindy suggested, PB2 is a great addiction to jazz up a shake!

      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.
