So am I. What I've noticed on LBT and other places, is that everyone's taste buds are different, and everyone likes their own brand of powder. Looks like we have to do some taste testing :rolleyes: . Hopefully people will post on this.

GNC Total Lean shakes are my favorite 25g Protein. Come in chocolate, peanut butter/ chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. I love the chocolate. Good luck with finding your fav : )

Hubby ordered me the sampler pack from bariatic fusion, so far I like the Cappuccino and cinnamon bun. Hated the chocolate (actually had to toss it because it had a weird after taste).

I like the GNC total lean shakes and BSN Dessert shakes are low carb and lots of great flavors.

Everyone has their own preferences so try as many as you can. I also noticed that some I didn't like pre-op I can now drink so keep in mind that your tastes may change.

I have several powders I like.

Ideal chocolate milk Protein powder. They used to make a vanilla and it was good too.

unjury chocolate splendor, vanilla, unflavored and chicken Soup. Haven't tried the strawberry but just got a sample pack.

Syntrax nectar Roadside Lemonade, caribbean cooler, strawberry mousse, Cappuccino.

All of the above powders are in my pantry right now, so I dont get bored or stuck having the same thing over and over.

I also have sugar free Torani syrups to add to my drinks... Chocolate, vanilla, caramel and coconut. This way I can have a caramel chocolate drink, a chocolate coconut drink, etc. it doesn't have to be plain Jane.

For the nectar lemonade and Caribbean cooler, I add the crystal light packets of either lemonade, raspberry lemonade or pink lemonade to boost the taste. There's no limit to the flavors you can make.

Try to buy sample sizes when you can. Many websites have these.

I don't do the ready made drinks. Tried a few but didn't find one that was willing to drink on a regular basis.

Very happy with the EAS Carb control powder and ready made drinks. I use vanilla a lot more than any other, but add fruit. The chocolate is good with a tbs of preanut butter.(also with banana) Also, I use carb control yogurt and add low fat milk to the Protein Powder. I also have strawberry, orange nectar (really thickens up), and peach for variety.

Trying to figure out which Protein powder is the best tasting.

Check out http://www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com and look for her massive list of Protein shake recipes. She makes making them and drinking them sound fun! I think there's a reference to that list on the left side of her page.

Good luck!

      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!
