OK, I stated my preop diet and am heavily relying on protein shakes now. This leads me to the question: Which ones taste good? I've tried several, and they range from OK to revolting. There has got to be some that are a little more palatable, and I'm sure my fellow message board members know which ones they are. C'mon, guys- hook a girl up!

Are you doing the HMR800?, I like both the vanilla and chocolate, mix with water and shake it up in my GNC shaker.

I'm loving my Ultimate Muscle Protein by Beverly. Each scoop is 20g of protein, 130 cal and 4 carbs. It's a little pricey but I like the taste of it. Cheap or expensive, protein that doesn't taste good is protein you will not drink.

For ready to drink Premier Chocolate Protein Shakes sold at Costco are pretty good 160 cal, 30 g protein.

Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard, Caramel Toffee

This is the best protein I've ever had. I've gone through 3 2lb tubs already (had to restart 2 week pre op diet 12 days in).

Get it on Amazon at GNC if you need it immediately. All of their stuff tastes pretty good.

I got very tired of the shakes and now drink the Protein H2O its really good, it's from the Muscle Milk Products. It's a little expensive but I figure I'm saving a lot of money by not going out to eat.

I found an awesome product at bariatriceating.com. today was my first day to use it so i was a bit nervous. but you go their site and click on shop and protein powders. it is called BE Pure Isolate Protein. IT HAS NO FLAVOR AND NO TEXTURE. No Fat no or low carbs (i dont have the package in front of me). It mixes with anything. I promise. i drank it with chicken broth for lunch today and it turned it a little milky but no bad taste or grit. I praised God for this. Cause i did not want to drink a RTD shake. they are too thick and too sweet. please give this site a try. they have other flavors also. But i know that i would not make it through this pre-op plan without it. Good luck !

I love Unjury, especially the chocolate splendor flavor.

My favorite is Smoothie King Gladiator Shake!

I can tell you the Vanilla Whey Protein Shake powder is nasty. I about lost it just by the smell of it.

I loooove BSN Syntha-6 Cookies & Cream....if I close my eyes I think I'm enjoying a milk shake from Chic Fi-la. Yummmm

sorry to say this but I could not find one protein drink that i liked. I hated everyone of them. I skipped them completely and said if i become protein deficient, oh well. it was only a week> Good luck

I like the the Protein powders from Next Level Nutrition: http://www.nlnutrition.net/lean-pro-matrix.html

34 grams of protein, 160 cal. 2 carbs

I have tried the chocolate, vanilla, Strawberries & Bananas.

For a pre-mixed protein drink I like EAS, chocolate. Have not tried the vanilla. Put it in a blender with some ice and not bad at all. I drink it straight out of the bax to. Give it a try, I don't think you will be sorry. My Dr. said no Mussell Milk, not sure why.

I'm on my pre op liquid diet and I'm using Natures Best Zero Carb Isopure protein powder. I have only tried the vanilla so far but I throw half a frozen banana in it and it isn't too bad. It is after all a protein powder so don't expect it to taste fantastic. They do have other flavors I plan to try. I picked the Isopure because 2 scoops give you 50g of protein. That is the biggest amount of protein of any of the powders I looked at and since we supposedly need 60g to 80g of protein per day I figured that was the biggest bang for the buck. A 3lb tub is around $37.00 and you can check online for the cheapest place. Good luck.

I've got some nasty, expensive high protein french vanilla crap, but I can't stomach it so I've stocked up on Special K protein shakes for when I can have them regularly. (tomorrow!)
