Hi---I'm getting banded on Aug 9...Ive been trying different Protein shakes and not having a lot of luck of finding one I LOVE...I just found some I can tolerate. So I keep hearing about Muscle Milk. I bought some last night...my question is did anybody drink it straight or did you blend/mix with something?

Any other shakes receipes you have would be great!

online you can buy from Bariatric Advantage, I liked the strawberry and banana. Muscle milk I drank straight

I used the Atkins Advantage shakes during my pre-op weight loss. I will go back post op as well. I can not say that I was the biggest fan at first; but I learned to love them. Honestly, I place them in the freezer prior to drinking them. Not to freeze the shake, but to make it really cold. It has become like a daily treat for me. Im not sure if this is good or not, but it reminds me of having a milkshake and leaves me satisfied.

we discovered that if you use carnation instant breakfast sugar free vanilla and put a half pack of crystal light strawberry it is awesome.....the carnation shakes (both chocolate and vanilla) are pretty good alone too..

I used Muscle Mil Lite ready-to-drink shakes for awhile, until I found Premier Protein ready-to-drink shakes. (premiernutrition.com) I switched because I much preferred the taste of the Premier Nutrition shakes. I had severe gastric issues with powdered shake mixes, and found the ready-to-drink shakes got the job done without any side effects. I still drink a Premier Nutrition chocolate shake in the car on my way to work every morning. (They sell them at costco, in addition to other locations, and their website.)
