i have been banded for a while ( feb 2004) and have lost around 50 lbs. i've recommitted and will follow up w/ my surgeon this coming tues... yay!!! i haven't found any protein shakes that i'm crazy about. i've tried the slim fast high portein shakes, and they're ok. i jus need a shake that i can 'stomach'. i like chocolate and vanilla - jus need some good suggestions!! any ideas?

I have been drinking Boost high protein shakes. I think they're pretty tasty, but my banded friends don't.

The atkins shakes are pretty good and easy to find, the Mocha and Chocolate caramel were pretty good and you can usually find coupons. But I like Isopure the best because it's quality protein and drink it daily, but I only use 1 scoop a day to make it more cost effective.

I only drink shakes every once in a while stick mainly to solids. I like pure protein, unjury and nectar. You can also mix protein powder with sf jello pudding cups. I used high protein slim fast per my surgoen right after sugery but I think some of the other shakes are better. Did you ask your doctor for a list of shakes or a guideline of what to look for?

The newer high Protein Slim Fast are actually decent. They're 20g of protein and 180 calories.

I've had the chocolate and vanilla, I think both are decent.

Atkins makes a super yummy caramel cafe Protein shake but it's only 15g of protein.

I still really love unjury but I've been experimenting with grocery store brands (like the Slimfast and Atkins) to save a little money.
