What's a good protein drink?



Recommended Posts

I want to start getting prepared for post-op and I'm wondering what drinks you guys like. I randomly came across an already mixed drink from Iconic Protein. It's 20g of Protein, has Fiber, B12 and only 130 calories...but at almost 4 dollars a bottle I'm wondering if it's worth it. Any suggestions

I use Premier Protein. Ready to drink shakes a d still at 10 months post-op have 1 every day. For powders I use Precision Engineered whey Protein Isolate. Both the chocolate and the vanilla are wonderful. My sister (non-WLS) tried it and loved it much more than the others she had tried.

I like Premier Protein, Syntrax nectar, unjury, and GNC Lean shake 25. I also like the ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates (great for the clear phase), Quest, and Eve Carnation Breakfast essentials (a nice budget option).

Try samples before you commit to buying a large container of anything. Also, keep in mind that your tastes may change post-op.

I am using premier Protein, vanilla flavor and I really like it. Today is one full week in the liquid diet and I've been using them at least twice a days for the past 7 days and haven't gotten tired of it yet.

I really like Unjury chocolate Splendor - tastes just like chocolate milk when I mix it with milk.

One more I just remembered as I am getting one out of my cabinet for an evening snack - if you like hot chocolate, check out the Protein hot chocolate from the BariatricPal Store. The amaretto flavor is my favorite! Only time I have actually found Protein powder that could be heated and didn't clump. 80 calories and 15g Protein.< /p>

I agree with everyone else premier Protein is 1 of the best I have tried, no after taste which was my biggest issue and 1 of the only shakes I have seen to offer 30g Protein per shake!!!!!

Premier Protein is a very smooth texture - just slightly thicker (but not much) than full fat milk.

        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
