I drink EAS Carrb Control chocolate and it is very good. I would like to know if there are other ones that people really like. I tried Muscle Milk light and did not like it. I look forward to your comments. Thanks.

I have tried GNC Why Isolate and all the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shakes and I hate them all. To the point where I couldn't keep them down. From what I hear, a lot of people have trouble with whey shakes.

My boss who is a marathon runner bought me some Sun Warrior vanilla powder and it works perfectly for me. It is a rice Protein that is very palatable for me. It's about $45.00 per bag, that that's about 50 servings. It's well worth if for me.

@amyluvslou; I want to make my own as well, but was afraid of using banana (love bananas) and milk because of the carbs. I usually drink EAS vanilla or strawberry Protein Drinks (17 grams protein) or Zoic found at Publix or Big Lots ($5 at Big Lots). the Cookies and cream, and vanilla are my favorites. I also have the Whey Protein and sometimes add that to my protein drinks. I guess I will try your recipe and maybe tweak it. If it keeps you full for 4-6 hours I am for it. I bought a Ninja Warrior Stick Blender and it is the bomb for making shakes. Thanks

I also use EAS. I mix ice, milk, and pb in mine, it last for 2-3 servings and taste awesome. I have also tried half a banana, that was pretty good also.

Another recipe I tried and liked was 1 scoop chocolate protien powder, 1 tbsp instant Decaf coffee, splenda, and ice. It makes something like you would get at Starbucks :)

I use Syntrax Nectar Protein and it is awesome. I have the Vanilla Bean Torte and the chocolate Truffle is really good also. I get mine from The Vitamin Shoppe and they also sell it on ebay and Amazon.< /p>

What about plain old Instant Breakfast? I saw on mine that with milk it's 23 g protein- and my nut said that your body can only digest 25 g or so Protein at a time, so any more in the shake is just a waste?

Since I have an allergy to Splenda and maltodextrin I have a real problem finding Protein drinks and diet items in general. I have found that Bolthouse Farms Protein Plus (chocolate) is an incredible protein supplement as well as Naked juice protein (chocolate). I don't know why the other flavors don't taste good to me but these are smooth and not chalky at all. They are generally in the produce section of the grocery store.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
