I used before and right after, and occasional now, the EAS carbadvantage. You can get them at Walgreens, Walmart, and sam's club. I found they are cheaper at Walmart than Walgreens and then even cheaper in bulk at sam's club. I love the ready to drink vs powder because I always thought that the powder was gritty. These are smooth and taste good. Vanilla and chocolate. I also bought a "flavorless" protein at vitamin shoppe. I did put it in jello and what not but it does change the flavor completely. Hope this helps!

I used to buy from GNC and get amplified whey Protein but that costs like 50 bucks the GNC person said its better and absorbs better but can't afford that so I get just whey generic kind at target for 16 bucks!! I drink a shake and just get vanilla!! At GNC they have crazy good favors. I had my surgery 10 months ago and still losing 1.5 pounds a week total of 113 pounds good luck

Oh the GNC and generic aren't as greedy

Gritty

The best tasting I have tried is myoplex and unjury!

there is one called whey factors for $17 at whole foods. i use the strawberry one its pretty good. also glucerna shakes r very yummy. carnation instant breakfast is my fav. i add unflavored protein powder to it. my doc has his own brand of high protein items but theyre very expensive

Just be careful if you're going to try protein shots. My surgeon said that the collagen based protein is not nearly as good for you as the whey. Even though there is whey usually it's not enough to do any good.

Oh yeah, I personally like EAS and Atkins. But I recommend trying several kinds and flavors. My surgeon recommends unjury but I'm not a big fan of it. She likes mixing strawberry powder with lemonade crystal light. It's actually pretty good.

i just got the strawberry slimfast. yumm!!! i add the whey factor to it so it has 17.5g of protein :) its delicious!!

Syntrax nectars are really good too!!!

I am using chike nutrition shakes. they are great.

I just tried the Pure Protein chocolate and really like that one. They have Vanilla also. Each has 25G of protein. I got it at Walmart. I also tried Matrix Mint Choc cookie and it was good too but, more for an afternoon shake for me.

surgeon suggested bariatric advantage it is $58 for 35 servings so $1.65 a shake. I like the latte, vanilla, and chocolate. I mix and match these 3.

I've used pure protein also. I used the premixed shakes. They're good.

My favorite is GNC Amplified. It goes cost more but I think it is worth it. It mixes up better and not gritty. My favorite flavor is cookies and cream and then banana cream is my second choice.

I just picked up two containers of Syntrax Nectar...hoping they'll be good for a fruity flavored protein. I don't want all chocolate so need to mix it up. I also bought the unflavored in hopes to mix it with chicken broth or other foods like oatmeal, cream of wheat etc when it's allowed.

Losingit the nectars are absolutely yummy!!! Which flavors did you get!!
