I am still waiting for my surgery too, but I have been trying different ones to see which ones I like because I know I will be on a 6 week liquid diet (yum?).

I just go to the Vitamin store every week or so and try a few of the pre-mixed cans and plastic bottles they have. I am making a list of the ones I like and don't like. (I figure that the powders of the same brands will taste like the pre-mixed ones)

So far, I like Muscle Milk vanilla and Cake Batter; Oh Yeah banana and Cookies and Cream.

I just got a few bottles of Isopure which I can't wait to taste as they look more like a juice drink than the thick shakes.

Good luck on your Quest, both for Protein shakes and weightloss!

check out the thread, "samples samples samples" - there's a list of places you can call/email for small sample sizes to try out products. Some are free, some ask you to pay shipping, but well worth it.

Thanks - will definately have to check that out. My surgeon's office is big on 'their' Vitamin ... which I did not buy.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
