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?

      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.
