I’m Interested-What Kind/Brand Of Protein Is Everyone On?



Recommended Posts

Premiere Protein here.... like the vanilla, caramel , chocolate and Cookies and cream. They are sweet though- but I like that. I like that they are ready made and easy 30 g of protein.

I’m noticing that the Premier Protein is a popular Protein for people. Is that because it’s usually a RTD? Ready To Drink

For me, it's a combination of that, the lower sweetness level, and the fact that it was specifically recommended by my program.

I do the total lean Protein 25 drinks from GNC. Premier has to much dairy and makes me sick.

I ve tried premier after my surgry & it made me sick. I tried the Isopure but it foams up too much & it cakes up in Hot Drinks like coffee! Im now using Garden of Life raw Meal Replacement, vanilla. It works great with Water, almond milk & hot coffee! Im 8 months post op & sometimes I dont feel like eating Breakfast so put my Protein with a teaspoon of coconut oil in my coffee! Very filling for me! By the way I can now drink premier again!

I'm currently doing the presurgery liquid diet.

I drink Bariatric Advantage chocolate flavored Meal Replacement, Premier Protein chocolate rtd, muscle milk strawberry rtd, and Unjury chicken, The unjury chicken is foamy, but it has been a life saver during my presurgery diet. My nutritionist gave me strawberry premier Protein which was delicious, but I haven't been able to find it for sale anywhere.

Do you mean the strawberry Premier Protein RTD, or a powder? I've had good luck finding the RTD at Walmart (along with chocolate, vanilla, and sometimes caramel and banana).

I've seen a lot of Americans talking about Premier Protein. Im in the UK so I haven't found it here. I've been using "PhD diet whey" and "For goodness shakes". X

Hi MsTipps, I'm in the UK too and I get my Protein Shakes from costco, do you have one near you?

I've just moved house so now I finally have a costco near me! Yay! Didn't know they did them. ☺ I will definitely check it out (when I've finished unpacking) x

I was drinking Premier Protein RTD pre-op and then early post-op due to convenience and more Protein with less oz. Then I got sick of them and switched to GNC powders...but I don't really enjoy them. I'm dairy sensitive, so even the whey isolate is bothersome, but my sleeve hated the other options like egg white based or vegan even more. I do a scoop of protein with 1/4c blackberries and 1c kale now to attempt to mask how much I hate it :)

My favorites are Quest and Syntrax Matrix!

I prefer to mix my own from powders, the pre mix are thick and syrupy to me

Check to make sure you’re using their whey Protein isolate the vegan ones don’t metabolize as well. I use their vanilla cream in my coffee

Hmmm, my Protein Shake, SFH Pure, has whey concentrate. I googled it and it looks like my concentrate is 80% protein and an isolate is 90% protein. Absent lactose intolerance, does it matter if it is an isolate or concentrate?

      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.
