Has anyone tried pure Protein? I like it and easier to find at stores. Which is better pure or premier? I also buy unjury powder and make it in my nutribullet. I love the chicken broth too.

A girl I met @ 1 of the bariatric support group meetings I go to told me about Unjury so I may grab their starter pack to see how they are myself

I bought the kit and really like the taste. But for on the go, I use pure Protein. I'll add some PB powder and shake it up. But I'm reading a lot about Premier Protein being good. I'm going to try that

I used shakeology.. I know it's expensive but honestly I was happy to spend the extra money knowing it's something that i can stomach but even actually enjoy. Of course just like anything else you get tired of it, but I was happy with my choice to use shakeology ! I'm day four post op so i won't know if I'll still like it once I move to full liquids.. but for pre op it was great!

Ok people, let's talk Protein shakes. Which do you love, which do you hate & why? I'm pre-op and saw my surgeon today. I've gained and he wants me to start drinking Protein Shakes now to help me lose but I have no idea where to start.

I like Premier Protein. They are at Sam's Club & Walmart. I like the chocolate pre-mixed ones. At Sam's, they are $1.36 each (at least in Texas)

i drink pure Protein & love the banana cream. strawberry cream is too thick but ok. i also have Isopure. it is expensive, but a different texture than the pure Protein & powder. it has 40g in 1 bttle. to me it just tastes like watered down gatorade. i like making the orange creamsicle shake. going to try root beer float shake tonight.

I haven't tried premier but I am using Jay Robb Egg White and whey Protein. It's completely natural - no artificial sweeteners (which I can't have). I have vanilla and chocolate and I really like it. :)

I bought chocolate premier Protein shakes 18 pack @ costco.They have 30 g of Protein. I have my surgery tomorrow. I'm nervous. I have tried the shake and they are pretty good. They are recommended by a lot of sources. Hope this helps.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
