Hello. I am a newbie and in the beginning stages of my journey and have a few questions for those of you that are further in yours. I am a fan of shakes for Breakfast but just realized the Protein Powder that I have been using has a ton of sugar in it. (Probably why it was actually pretty good) What are some of your favorites that you have found that are good during this journey? What kind of Vitamins or supplements are good ones? Anyone feel like your journey is never going to begin? (Lol taking forever!) May seem like silly questions but I don't want to waste money on the wrong things if I don't have to. Thanks in advance for any info. I hope everyone is having a great day!

Hi I'm a newbie as well, I'm waiting for my call to schedule the surgery. My nutritionist recommended BPI or Isopure which can be found at GNC.

Premier Protein shakes they are premade and have a great taste. My nut suggested Flintstones chewables, she said they have everything I need. I a day before surgery, and now 2 a day after surgery.

It does seem like it qill take forever, but it flies by. I started back in October and was sleeved on 3/31.

Just be careful with muscle milk. I have tried them in past and then discovered they have a lot of corn starch/carbs.

I have tried and like the Fortress Powder. I found it at Walmart. As for the suppliments I went to CVS and was able to stock up on enough for a three months supply for $35.00. They only thing I didn't get was my muliti-vitamin and that was because I was unsure about what to get.

We use the Gold Standard Optimum whey from costco https://www.costco.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Gold-Standard-100%-Whey-Protein%2c-90-Servings.product.100138794.html- the price is right and the taste is good. Sometimes I use the pre-made Premiers - depends on what I'm doing. I use Costco Multivitamin but I found that for about 3 months post-op it was too big to swallow for me so i went to a chewable. We have a chocolate flavor at home too that is a version of Muscle Milk. I do a shake for breakfast almost every day. Experiment. Good luck!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
