Hi Melissa. I know how you feel. I have just been approved and waiting for my date. Hope it will be in the next few weeks. Looking forward to the other side of being sleeved.

All protein shakes are not created equal and what may taste good/tolerable to one is going taste very different to the next person. Plus I hear that post-surgery, your taste buds may changes. The smartest thing I did was go to gnc and vitamin shoppe and buy several different ready to drink shakes in single servings to that I could see which I like. My favorites are the slim fast low carb which has 20 grams of protien and the atkins advantage are my absolute favorite. Those have 15 grams. Only tolerable are the clear Isopure. Those have 40 grams of protien and I sip on one most of the day. Try not to stock up on the same too much for post surgery until you get a feel after the surgery for what you would like.

i have heard about taste buds changing after surgery. i have tried the unjury powders. like the strawberry and chocolate. love the atkins strawberry shakes. it's hard to try things when everything comes in such large containers.
