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.

        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
