My surgeon's office has Bariatric Advantage. I had a sample mixed with 8 oz skim milk and the choco was terrific (in fact the best choco Protein drink I've ever had, I'd say), the vanilla was good, the orange cream was too sugary/gross, and I have a sample of banana, but I'm thinking it's going to be disgusting for me. What brands are you all using? How do you prepare it?

2 weeks away from starting my pre-op diet, 5 weeks til banding (if all goes according to plan!)

I used Atkins brand ready to drink protein shakes and Muscle Milk Cookies and Cream. As for preparation I just keep myself busy and gain an addiction to Candy Crush. Sugar Free popsicles was my best friend during my pre op diet. Good luck to you and I will see you on the other side!

I have tried several (nectar and jay Ross, body fortress). I just went to the vitamin shop and the guy suggested a cassen protien instead of whey protien. Carb/ cal/ fat are all within my limits. But boy it sure does taste better.... And a better consistency. Calling RD on mon to make sure it's ok. He says it's a slower digesting protien which will help stay full longer. Cause I am hungry within 10 min of these whey shakes!!!

Hubby n kids having mcD. I'm not even tempted!

I used Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Powder and they had me mix it in milk for max protein. This is one of the best Whey Protein powders out there. And the nice thing was my gym sells it and they ran it half off right when I needed it!

I have been drinking the premier protein shakes in chocolate, 30gm of protein, only 160 calories they are yummy and fill you up

I also drink these yum!!

I use body fortress one scoop 8 oz water, 1tblsp sf/ff pudding mix, one tbsp torani sf syrup, ice and a blender bottle. You can mix and match flavors, I am allowed fruit and I like to do vanilla protein, pumpkin spice syrup and pumpkin puree. Tastes like pumpkin cheesecake!

Has anyone tried the minogue brand on Canada?

I am drinking sprouts brand chocolate whey protein, but sometimes I buy the EAS advantage carb control pre-mixes so I can grab 'n' go to work...the strawberry one is nasty but both chocolate ones are good!

Went back to complete nutrition.... (wasn't going to cause clerk was too busy trying to get skinny minis phone number n flirting) have a bunch of free samples of shakes.. V-core is awesome!!! Little pricy but if I have to have this everyday forever it's worth the extra $10.
