Well, I'm not banded yet, trying to get everything worked out for surgery by end of next month but have been shopping around for different protein shakes since I have to do a pre-op diet. I had a protein shake this morning, I have to say it was very tasty, mango, but I think it was high in carbs. Guess I will learn all of this when I meet with the dietitian. Towards the end of the shake I was gagging, I have a very easy gag sensation, the taste wasn't gagging me it was the thickness and the thought of thick liquid going down and I just about threw it all up. I even gag and throw up when brushing my teeth, that's how bad it is.

Have you tried the Unjury Protein Shakes? They are really good.

Add more water and thin it down. It is what I just did with a chocolate shake. My band is a bit tight after getting stuck on a pill last night. I didn't want the thinkness of a shake.

No, I haven't tried Unjury, may be next on my list! This one was really good but was really thick and thank you for the suggestion of adding water. I feel full now and feel ok, it was just while drinking it at the end I was gagging. ew... thanks ladies!

I wish I could give you my unjury, I hate it. Everyone's taste is different. Good luck to you. I spent months prior to the required liquid phase trying different things. Boy didi waste a lot of money, but it is well worth to find something you like.

Jackie didn't you also order the protein to go from Groupon? I did too, if so did you get it yet? How is it?

I usually have a shake for breakfast, because I find liquids easier to get down at that time of day. Solids are not so easy for breakfast for me because they take ages and ages to get down and it can make me really sick, which is then a waste of time.

I like Slimfast in vanilla, it's tasty satistying and only 218 calories, it will keep me going until lunch.

I tried it first in the post-op 2 weeks of liquids and normally still have it now, almost 11 months later. It has been a life saver.

Now, since last week, I'm trying the Dukan Diet where shakes are not allowed, which is a bit tricky for me at breakfast.......

No I only ordered the unjury and I have gnc shakes, which I like.

Check out the carbs. My Whey isolate powder has 114 cals for 24 g Protein only 2 g of carbs.

I have the same as you plus the chocolate. The chicken is ok and of course the unflavored I will use more on the mushy stage because I can do in applesauce and things like that. It is the chocolate I don't care for, but it is only temporary.

Oh ok I didn't order the chocolate. I like the premier Protein premade. I buy them from costco or SAMs.
