I drink the Pure Protein before surgery I liked chocolate now I prefer vanilla I'm not sure what RTD is, but the cans have 35 g of protein in 11 oz so it helps a lot with protein intake. They sell them at GNC (expensive) and local grocery stores (cheaper) if you like them Amazon sells by the case. I really liked strawberry they gave me in hospital but don't know the brand :*( going to ask the nutritionist.

Premier Protein's are probably the ones at costco that you refer to. I like vanilla in that brand but it can get "grainy" at the bottom. The chocolate ones congeal a bit IMO.

My fav RTD is Oh Yeah Vanilla and Cream. I also like their Strawberries and Cream but Vanilla's my fav.

I also like the Pure Protein cans in Cookies and Cream. strawberry in that brand is nasty (to me) as is Vanilla. fyi. Mint Cookies and Cream got a bit minty half way through but is do-able.

Best of luck!

and btw, rtd is ready to drink :) (already mixed up versions instead of Protein powders)

I like the EAS Advantedge Carb Control, 17 g of Protein, 110 calories, the chocolate ones my go to. They are easy to find, they are the cheapest at Walmart $4.74 for 4, 11 oz RTD. I have been using them for one Meal Replacement on my supervised diet, they are not too sweet or clumpy. I tried the EAS with higher protein but can't get past the clumps. I am thinking these may be too sweet after surgery, we will see.

I just recently discovered a RTD called Rockin' Refuel Muscle Builder. It's a little high in calories and carbs (190c /9g), but after trying soooooooo many of the others and thinking they taste like crapola, and besides the fact that I'm hardly consuming any calories through food, I'm good with drinking two of them a day. GNC sells them and they taste exactly like chocolate milk without any funky Protein aftertaste. I haven't tried the vanilla yet. Suffice it to say that I was so thrilled when I found them that I immediately went back and bought a two week supply ! My second choice is Muscle Milk, and third is EAS.

I haven't tried the Cookies and cream but definitely will. I just like the cans have 35g of Protein and they definitely have to be cold or are gross.

I have not found any good RTD shakes, but have found a number of excellent RTE ( ready to eat) Protein Bars with a good set of nutritional stats. I tend to enjoy think thin bars because they are filling and sugar free. Cliff bars are also excellent, but too high in sugars.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
