i can not even stomach muscle milk (i dont like the malt taste). The only drink I can handle is the Premier Protein shakes in chocolate (premade and sold at Costco). I drink one on ice mixed with about 3-4 ounces of coffee (one sweet n low if you like it sweet or if you add more coffee) every morning. It tastes just like a mocha coffee drink from starbucks and a good breakfast

I really like the whey isolate Protein Powder. I buy mine at Walmart. Mix one scoop with one cup of skim milk, one cup of chopped fruit and a dash of sugar-free pudding mix. Delicioso!

I go on ebay and check out the different types of MUSCLE MILK. They have a lot of different flavors through the dealers.

It's recommended to us threw our Bariatric Center. I'm actually shocked that their are a lot of people saying they don't like it !

I like Cookies, and cream, strawberry milkshake, Peanut Butter and chocolate, chocolate milk, and vanilla creme.

I can only make the suggestion to check out their different flavors. If your interested.

I like Labrada Lean Body on the Go in chocolate and Syntha 6 (only good if you're working out/taking in a lot of water). Maybe buy a more basic type Protein, like Muscle Milk in vanilla and add stuff to it like berries, SF chocolate Syrup, Peanut Butter, etc. for some flavor.

I second Premier premade from costco they now have both chocolate and vanilla. Super convenient. For powder I like Gold Standard whey isolate Double Chocolate (I buy it at Vitamin Shoppe). Store like GNC and Vitamin Shoppe will usually let you return for store credit if you get something you don't like. Also the clerks are really good resources for what flavors people like.

I am very picky and want something that tastes good. I don't wan to have to chug it down, I want to enjoy it. With that said I LOVE the Bariatric fusion shakes. http://www.bariatricfusion.com/ So far I have had every flavor and they are all great.

I have tried many others and they don't compare. You can get sample packets too so you don't need to buy a big tub if you don't want to.

Hope this helps,

Wendy

I have a lactose intolerance, so I really like Isopure from GNC (vanilla and chocolate, not the fruit flavors). That said, you really need to just try different kinds because as you can see from the replies everyone's taste is different.

I'm partial because I work for the corporation that makes these, but EAS Protein Shakes. Preferably the Myoplex strawberry Cream. It's YUM. 210 calories, 2.5g of fat and 25 grams of Protein in a 14oz bottle. I usually drink 2 a day still. biggrin.gif

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
