I'm in Ontario Canada. I go into surgery on Wednesday and am going to buy my protein shakes. What kind should I buy and where do I find it?

If Canadian food stores are at all like US versions, there's a TON of varieties of all flavors and manufacturing sources. Generally personal experience determines choices after that.

Sizes of canisters vary; it's best to get the smaller ones until you find something you like.

I was fortunate in finding a good half-dozen that were pretty good. Of course now I have forgotten the name.

Most big stores have a section of "health food" and there is often at least a dozen choices.

cheers on your journey

I use Bariactric Advantage it is online I get the Bariactric Advantage meal replacement shakes,vanilla taste good they have chocolate too. For regular protein shakes, they carry Nectar which is like a juice ( you add water ) they have a variety of flavors and they have vanilla and chocolate you can add skim milk to. But I'm sure you'll get a lot of responses, there are a lot of them out there.

I use muscle milk light and premier protein shakes. They are low in sugar (only 1 gram) and have a whopping 30 grams of protein in each! And they taste great!

Not sure if this is available up north but I'm drinking Pure Protien Chocolate Shakes. It is low fat, 30 grams of protien and it's surprisingly good! It's on sale this week at Costco if they have those in Canada.

Thanks, I'm heading out to shop right now. Soooo excited.

I use Adkins and Special K Adkins has like way less carbs

USA has much better selection than what I can find around here. (I'm also from Ontario). I did find some nice protein powder at Popeyes, low in carbs and sugar and high in protein. I always make a protein smoothie for breakfast so am always on the lookout for good protein powder. I'm heading to USA this weekend and have been making notes along the way of protein powders that I see noted here, so will be loading up before I come home. Much more flavour variety, not just chocolate and vanilla. Blah, boring.

Tiny, keep me posted what you find. I travel to the US often and may want to look these up.

Yes, will let u know what I find. And yogurts in the states, amazing choices again. I love heading into grocery stores in the USA, so much variety.
