I use EAS 100% whey powder (big purple container, I purchase it at Target). It is 26 grams of protein. It was recommended by my deietitian. I like the chocolate.

Okay thanks !

Everyone has different tastes and preferences. It is not uncommon to have to try several different Protein shake options before discovering one which you can actually like and not just tolerate.

That said, GNC has a very liberal return policy for their products. So to me, purchasing from them is really no risk. I use their Wheybolic extreme powder, but only 1.5 scoops per shake, as I am not using it for body building.

The 1.5 scoop is 30 g of protein. To vary the taste and add some protein I sometimes add some PB2, though that is likely not a good idea pre op without getting permission from your medical team.

Best wishes for a successful journey...

I use Bariactric Advantage Meal Replacement shakes(vanilla) and nectar (fuzzy navel) they are both really good with no after taste and not to sweet I can't stand stuff that's to sweet. I get them both online at BariactricAdvantage.com

Tastes definitely vary. I bought Ensure high protein shakes after someone said they liked them and I had to throw them all out--to me they had a metallic aftertaste. Yuck. I like the premixed Premier Protein shakes (30 grams protein) and the Jay Robb protein powders, but I like it sweet so you may not like what I like... Good luck with the pre-op diet!

I have been drinking the EAS advantage plus chocolate and it is pretty good. I have no problem with the taste. It is the prepared drink. Comes in a four pack

How many calories are in this one? I found the GNC brand 100% Whey Protein is 130 calories and 24 grams of protein.

I've been using Unjury protein powder. They don't give you an aftertaste. I start my pre-op diet on July 4.
