I love premier. I buy the vanilla and the chocolate. They have strawberry also. I find the chocolate and vanilla to be my fav's. The vanilla and even the chocolate you can put in a blender with ice and add diff SF syrups to make a variety of flavors. Only 160 cals for 30 grams a protein. 3 grams of fat, 4gms of total carbs and 1 gram of sugar. They can't be beat. Usually start my day out with one!
I am 3 years post op vsg. I had a baby 7 months ago. My lowest weight was 153. I gained about 35 lbs in pregnancy. I really started working on what I was eating at about 168lbs. I am now down to 162. I use my fitness pal and log everything I eat and stay at 1200 calories and exercise on elliptical for 30 min 5 days a week. I am stuck as well. I can't seem to get below 162. It may drop to 160 but the next day will be back to 162. I have been feeling like I'm starving as well. I have no problem getting in the amount of protein I should without shakes but I'm considering going back to shakes to see if that would help. I'm also wondering if my metabolism could be damaged due to such low calories for a long period of time after surgery.
My favorite are Chocolate Premier Protein (30g protein) and Vanilla Creme Muscle Milk (20g protein)
yes, just when I feel a cold sore coming on or while I have one. I have not had a problem with it.
I tried about every brand out there and gagged them down, the best one I found and I swear by is Syntrax Nectar Whey protein Isolate. zero sugars, zero carbs, zero fat, lactose and gluten free. the Fuzzy Navel tastes a lot like a Orange Julius. which I lived on for my surgery 6 years ago. I just ordered some for my husband a few months ago because he is getting ready for his surgery and they have a lot more flavors to choose from now and we have not been disappointed with any of them. and now they have to go packs which work great for him on his job.

Hello everyone I'm new on here. I really need help on losing weight. I'm at least 150 lbs over weight and I am soooo scared I'm gonna end up a diabetic. I have struggled with my weight since I was a child. Can anyone please recommended a good and fast diet. Where I can loss 150 lbs.? Please I am getting desperate.
I drank many cups of chicken broth spiked with hot sauce while I was on liquids. The spicy savory broth was a welcome change from cold sweet stuff.
I had my surgery 6/5 and was home by mid-day 6/6. I was off of pain meds within 2 days. I think the key for me was getting up and walking several times the day of my surgery. It helped move all of the gases out of my body and increased the circulation to aid in the healing. I'm still home from work, but feeling pretty good. Just trying to get in good habits and learn how to live with my new pouch. I plan to go back to work next week so will have taken off 2 weeks for the surgery.
Good luck!
That is so funny that you suggest this. I was actually smelling pickle juice and couldn't figure out why it was such a big deal for me. It must have been me craving salt. I would never have put the two together.
