I like GNC brand. What I suggest is buy a vanilla and choc and go to theworldaccordingtoeggface.com and take a look at all the different things she does with vanilla and choc.

I've found that the only shake I can stand is the powdered dark chocolate Muscle Milk. I use milk instead of Water for calories, more Protein and calcuim. I don't make it as thick though. I find that it tastes better closer to the consistancy of chocolate milk.

I like the EASadvantage too- The cheapest place I have found them by far is Target- even cheaper than Walmart! I also take a 32oz bottle (I reuse gatorade bottles) then I fill it with Water, a crystal light packet (or similar) and add a scoop of unflavored Protein Powder. I like the one from GNC 100% whey. So much better than drinking all that sweet milky stuff all the time.

I have tried lots of Protein Muscle Milk, EAS, Isopure, and GNC brand) but the one that I LOVE is Unjury. You can get sample packets to try out the different flavors they carry. Its a little pricey, but worth it. My fav is vanilla, i can mix it with anything. Just tried their new chocolate splendor...taste exactly like chocolate milk!!! no after taste either!! :thumbup:

Muscle Milk LIGHT in the RTD boxes.. either vanilla or strawberry creme. The chocolate tastes fake.

EasAdvantageCarbcontrol are ok, but I have to add some s/f Torani or daVinci to make them taste better.

unjury (UNJURY is Medical Quality Whey Protein Isolate. Best Tasting Whey Protein powder. Most Trusted Whey Protein Powder Supplement. Taste the difference) is decent too.

Syntrax nectar 23g protein, 90 calories, great flavors

I have EAS chocolate right now and it's decent. I purchased Unjury and Bariatric Advantage before at the doctor's office and those have been the best---but also the most expensive! I drink 2-3/day to make sure I get all my Protein in, but I also just had surgery, too.

The Inspire and PURE Protein powders from bariatriceating.com are hands-down the best. Dutch chocolate + almond milk is delicious. And the PURE (unflavored) can be added to almost anything.

I buy the pre made shakes at trader joes called pure Protein. They have 35g of protein in a can. I don't know about most of you but it's hard for me to drink the Protein Shakes so I try to get as much protein in one shake as possible. So of you are sooooo creative with your shakes and they sound delicious, but to be honest I just want to grab and go. Maybe I will get to a point were I will spend more time making my shakes, but it took me 4 hours yesterday to get that 1 can of Protein Shake down *sigh* but I know it will get better

I use Protein Rite shakes from Protein Rite High Protein chocolate Drink (7 Servings/Box)

To me, they are really good. Just mix with 8 oz. cold Water and I add ice and shake it up! They don't have that Vitamin taste or smell and they have 15 grams of protein per drink. The hot chocolate ones are good too for cold weather!:thumbup:

The Syntha 6 Protein Shakes from GNC are THE BEST!!! LOL. The flavors are great and you don't get any aftertaste. It tastes like a milkshake. AMAZING. I have the chocolate Peanut Butter and it tastes like a Reeses Milkshake. I have tried the strawberry and it tastes like Nesquick strawberry milk. I make mine with unsweetened almond milk instead of Water. Depending on the flavor I might throw half a banana in just to spice it up. Sytha 6 go for it. The jug of powder is huge but don't let that scare you. if you don't like it, GNC will let you return it, even if it's been opened.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
