Add PB2 to the powdered shakes. You only taste the Peanut Butter. Try Isopure ready to drink. Tastes more like a kook aid product than a Protein Drink. Can get at Vitamin Shoppe.< /p>

I had surgery the same day and I love the GNC powder "Lean 25". I have chocolate Peanut Butter and a banana flavored powder and I mix one scoop of each with a cup of skim milk. I split it into 2 drinks and sip it slowly. It tastes like a Choc punt butter banana milkshake!! Put it in a cup in the freezer for 1/2 hour is even better! You will feel much with some Protein. It is needed for healing!

I mix half unsweetened coconut/almond milk and half Water with my Protein Shakes. It helps them go down much easier.

The only kind of Protein Shake I can stomach is Atkins ...I have tried all others and can't stand them.

Congrats on your decision to get sleeved!! I also had a difficult time with the shakes and the other drinks. I found the juice types all tasted like Protein and the powders never fully dissolved and the premade where too thick and sweet (even as a child I didn't like milkshakes). After many different shakes I found EAS advantEdge Carb Control at Walmart, they are only 4.97 for a pack of 4 and they are not overly sweet or thick and they are premade. I found the strawberry to be the best at first but now I can drink all the flavors. They are not as high in protein as most but they are low in calories so I just drink and extra one if I need to later. I still use them at Breakfast even 7 out. They have 17g of protein, 3g carbs and 100-110 cals depending on the flavor. Good luck on your journey:))

If you like your hair you need protien now it is not about what you want or what tastes good its about what you have to have.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
