Getting ready for my sleeve on March 4th. I would assume this question is on here somewhere, but I can not find it, so I will ask again. What do you think is the best protein supplement out there, considering pdcaas score, taste, and value? I need to stock up.

I got lucky on my 1st try. Bottled EAS carb control Dutch chocolate @ Walmart. 4 for $5. It is a little too thin for my taste, but it does taste good. I toss in a spoon of another chocolate low carb Meal Replacement to thicken it up.

Don't forget to buy one of the $7 shaker bottles with the round spring @ Walmart. Perfect for mixing shakes or taco mix with Water (I don't buy any kitchen tool that can't multitask like a mutha!)

Premier Protein shakes pre made from costco or SAMs club

There are MANY threads here about them that you can search....

From OTR;

Looking at the ingredients of a premier shake, it is all milk based Proteins which score 1.0- the best score available.

I typically say that premier is a "good alternative" if you cannot tolerate pure whey protein isolate or I'd you need the convenience.

The downside to Premier shakes is that they are mostly milk based rather than whey. Meaning they do contain much of the impurities found in milk and are not a good option for the lactose intolerant. Keep in mind that immediately after surgery we are much more likely to develop a lactose intolerance. Therefore I recommend them as a convenience but not as a regular "go to" protein source.

I have been shopping also for best protein I use Body Fortress premium whey 1 scoop 23g

I like the taste Walmart $16.00 for about 30 serving.Unjury products 17g online about 23.95 w/shipping.premier protein online case of 12# $28.00..Going to try EAS AdvantEdge cab control 11 oz.4-serving Walmart $7.99 try to get sample to fine the one you like..

My sleeve is March 4th today is my 1st day of pre-op doing ok..

Matrix nectar Protein powder - chocolate Truffle

Awesome with a few ice cubes and Hood low carb milk in my personal blender. Sometimes I add a tablespoon of frozen cottage cheese. Powder plus milk equal about 28 grams of protein.

They have lots of flavors and every is good.

"Best tasting" is going to be so subjective. What tastes good pre-op and what tastes good post-op are two different beasts. Even over time what I've been able to tolerate in my shakes has changed drastically. Some things, like nectar of any flavor, have always tasted disgusting to me. Other things, like Total Lean, tasted great until about a month ago when they were suddenly sickeningly sweet.

Get samples of as much as you can before you go dumping a ton of money in to buying up powders and shakes. Try a little of everything to see what works for you. All the feedback in the world will mean nothing if it tastes like crap to you.
