I was banded on 6/17 and as you all know, I had to start the Protein Shakes the next day. So far, I have tried 2: Target brand and Jay Robb. The Jay Robb was better than the Target brand but still gross. Can anyone recommend a great tasting Protein Shake. Also some really good recipes. Thanks for your advice in advance!

If u have a costco I highly recommend the ready to drink Premier Protein in chocolate. They are 11oz and have 30 grams of Protein and only 160 cals and 2 grams of sugar. I have one everyday for Breakfast. That is the best gram for the lowest cals I have ever found.

I like the "oh yeah" brand Cookies and cream. They have 220 calories and 32 grams of Protein, and they are really good.

Also at costco, they have a powder made by Muscle Milk called Protein X. I make the Vanilla one, and then mix in like an ounce of a RTD Premier chocolate. I have also tried the Cookies and Cream Can from Fresh and Easy. That was my favorite RTD so far. The premier from Costco are very good but leave me with an aftertaste. ;)

I love GNC Total Lean(RTD) swiss chocolate flavor. It has 170 calories an 25g of Protein. I’ve also had the vanilla bean flavor and thats good as well, just tastes a little too sweet in my opinion.

I agree that GNC Total Lean Swiss Choc. is great tasting! Not thick, like some shakes and not that horrible after taste either! You can try 1 to see if you like it before purchasing more-some GNCs even have a fridge with a cold one in them! You can bend it with ice and a half of a banana for extra Protein (althought it has 25 grams of Protein already (plus 23 vitamins). When I blend it with ice I put a dollop of cool whip on top to make it like a shake!

I have found carnation instant breakfast packs great in the blender with skim milk and ice - if you wantto up your protein and a half scoop of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powder.

I think the GNC brand tastes like the best and I am not one to mess with powders-I want something I can just grab in the mornings and go.

4everFit makes great tasting fruit flavored ones u can get samples from their website. Also love Unjury chocolate splendor. Walmart sells Body Fortress whey Protein, chocolate peanutbutter is good as well as the plain chocolate. It has 52 grams of protein. My doc says just use one scoop cutting it down to 26 grams. The syntax nectar have all been good. Hope this helps.

I also like the EAS ready to go ones.

I also bought some Jillian Michaels french vanilla creme (something like that) powder Protein at Walmart and mixed it with ice and a few marachino cherries and some of the juice with a bit of chocolate Syrup (sugar free) . Used the blender. It was like a shake. It was fabulous. I'm all about chocolate, so I got vanila so I could sometimes add chocolate, or other flavors to mix it up.

I have one every day for Breakfast and split one before and after my workout.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
