I prefer the Premier Nutrition shakes. They can be purchased at costco or Sam's. 30g of Protein in each. Congrats and good luck on your surgery!

This is gonna be fun.

I'll give you a few.

Unjury- I like their chocolate splendor, & their chicken Soup flavor. The chicken is great when your tired of all the sweet stuff

*uses pure whey protien isolate

Nectar® by Syntrax- these have a few fruitier flavors. I like the fuzzy navel & cherry flavors best

*uses pure whey protien isolate

Chike meal replacement- this taste better than the other two but has more calories since it is more than just a protien supplement.

*uses whey Protein isolate & whey Protein concentrate

Premier Nutrition- this one is all about convince & taste. It uses multuple lower quality dairy based Proteins.

I use ready to drink in a can Pure Protein with 35gm of protein. On days I feel like making my own; then I use Jay Robb brand or Whey Gourmet (Peanut butter chocolate).

Question: does the nectar by Syntrax taste like crystal light and is it still a watery consistency or does it gel or thicken the Water?

It has the thinnest consistency I've seen in a protien mix, very close to Water. (definately thinner than skim milk)

No, I don't think it taste like crystal light. It seems to have a fruitier flavor than crystal light

To me crystal light has a somewhat harsh taste from the aspartame.

Being a whey protien drink, it does have a bit if a "milky" undertone.

Which is why I'm so picky about them. I just think certain flavors work better with this than others.

Another flavor you might try is the caribbean cooler this one gets good reviews. The only reason I don't like is because it has a distinct sweetened coconut taste to it (like pniã colada) that I just don't like.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
