I love the Pure Protein ready-to-drink shakes. Had one for Breakfast actually.

Frosty chocolate. I don't like the powder, but the ready-to-drink ones taste like chocolate milk to me. I also like GNC Total Lean vanilla Bean. Good luck!

I like muscle milk , lean shakes from GNC and pure protein.. I don't do a lot of them unless I get a fill.. but sometimes if I'm in a rush I will drink one for breakfast....

After reading several posts about the same topic (Protein Powder), I have decided it is an acquired taste. What one person loves, another does not.

For example, I could not tolerate Bariatric Advantage Protein Powder. I tried three different flavors and wasted a lot of money. The one I do like (and, again, others may not) is the UNflavored powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. I add it to my morning O.J. or yogurt. For shakes, I use the Dole Shakers (fruit flavored) and add the Unjury Protein.< /p>

Keep experimenting and hopefully you will find one that works. I, myself, am a protein snob ---> so I completely understand your frustration

I love the premier nutrition Protein Shakes from costco. They have vanilla and chocolate. I've tried a lot of shakes being 4 years out and they are by far the best tasting ones.

I really enjoy the EAS whey Vanilla Powder shakes from BJ's. With a shaker, fat free milk and lots of ice, it tastes like the vanilla shakes from White Castle. The next great thing is that is gives you 26g of Protein. A 5lbs bag costs $32.00

At almost 2 years post surgery, I still drink this Protein Shake on an average of 3 times a week.

My favorite Protein Shakes are the Syntrax Nectar powders. They're shakes are really good. You can order a sample pack at BJ's Bariatrics. You'll be pleasantly surprised! Don't forget to put the Water in first, then add the powder. It mixes better that way.

I too like the Nectar... they have many flavors, I prefer the chocolate truffle.... you can get a sample pack from them fro 13.99 shipped for 12 sample pack.... it's on their website http://www.si03.com/reg_index.htm .. it's a good way to try a bunch of their flavors without a big cost

I actually took a surprising liking to BOOST High Protein Rich chocolate. And I am extremely picky. That's all I have now.

After trying several I locked in on the Premier Protein chocolate. I get by he case at costco. One trick I learned on here is the COLDER the shake the more palatable it is.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
