Hi, my name is Gloria and I live in Augusta, Georgia. I am 61 years young!!!! I had my gastrectomy sleeve April 5, 2010, so far I have lost approximately 50 lbs. I was at 214 on my surgery date and now I am 165ish. I'm still hanging in there!!!! My goal is to get to at least 150 and maintain that weight. I had and continue to have no problems with my wls.The only real situation I'm concerned about right now is getting enough Protein. I can't seem to find a Protein Drink and whatever that taste fairly decent.

Hi Gloria! You and I are only a few days apart. I have tested lots of shakes and bars throughout the past few months and here are the ones I like:

nectar Syntrax chocolate Truffle and Cappucino ( I suggest you order a sample package of all the flavors to see what you like. I couldn't stand any of the fruity flavors but these 2 I drink all the time....and they don't have that nasty smell or aftertaste)

Oh Yeah Protein Bars (these are like candy if you like sweet things)

Hope that helps - keep up the great work!

I have heard a lot about the Premier drinks at costco. The closest Costco is about 45 miles from here but, my hubby is going to try to get there this weekend for me to pick some up. In the meantime, I am using Atkins ready to drink. The cafe late is pretty good. I can't stomach the sweet fruity ones.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
