What are some good Protein Shakes? I have tried two now and I can't find any that tastes as good as the HMR ones did. I guess they don't recommend them after the 9 day diet.

I use the premier Protein shakes from costco or Sams. They are ready-to-drink containers, they come in vanilla or chocolate. They are low cal/low carb and have 30g Protein per serving.

The chocolate is good on its own, the vanilla I think is better for mixing with other things or as a base for a smoothie. It's just a little too sweet on its own, IMO.

Syntrax nectar has a lot of varieties as well. And they have an unflavored powder so you can add it into anything to up the protein!

I use one called Pure Protien that I've been getting at my local store. I like the taste, and I like that it has 23g of protien, but only 2g of sugar and 110 callories.

I too like the premiere Protein. If you want to "try before you buy ", instead of buying a huge carton at costco, Safeway sells packs of four. :)

Though if you buy it at costco and don't like it you can always take it back. ;-)

I use Lambarda. 40 grams of Protein per serving, no sugar and 3 carbs. It is a bit expensive but they are by far the absolute best tasting shake i've tried. Before them I didn't get even close to the 90 grams a day I was suppose to be hitting, now i'm doing much better. The serving is pretty big though, at least for a sleeved, I work through one a day. But really they are so friggin delicious!

I LOVED THE HMR!!!! But they were so expensive. I use Bariatric Advantage vanilla and mix it with Fat Free milk - shake it up and let it sit in the refrigerator for an hour ( or how ever long it takes me to finish the 1 scoop to 1 cup milk ). It tastes really great! My husband has asked me to make him one for deserts!!!

      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!!
