There are lots of posts about this. You can get a bunch of information by searching for "protein shakes" or something similar. The search box is on the right near the top.

Isopure Liquid Protein (40 grams per 20 oz bottle)

New Whey Protein Shots (42 grams per 4 oz vial) best watered down IMO

Shakes:

Body fortress (Walmart) chocolate/vanilla / strawberry

Syntrex nectar (on line) Cookies and cream/ fuzzy navel/ many flavors

Unjury Protein (on line) most popular is the unflavored powder that you can add to Anything!

Ie: turn butternut squash Soup into a protein packed meal. They also carry protein hot cocoa and chicken broth.< /p>

My very favorite Protein Shake is to take 1 cup of fat free double protein milk (by Lucerne/ Safeway grocery store)

Add I scoop of vanilla Protein Powder

5 ice cubes

And anything I'm in the mood for:

pumpkin pie: I always freeze things into ice cube trays so I take 1 cube at a time

1 cube of pumpkin purée

1 tsp SF maple Syrup

Sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger

banana NUT:

Omit Ice cubes add 1/2 banana (I freeze in slices)

And a few walnuts

Dash of vanilla or banana extract

Reece's Peanut Butter CUP

1 scoop chocolate protein powder

2 tbsp smooth peanut butter (all natural) I grind my own nut butters

PIÑA COLADA SMOOTHIE:

1 scoop vanilla Pwdr

1/2 cup frozen pineapple

Substitute 1/2 of the milk for coconut milk

Add an umbrella parasol... Go sit out in the sunshine... Soak up the Vitamin D... Enjoy your mini island retreat.

APPLE PIE A LA MODE

1/2 cup stewed apples in cinnamon nutmeg or applesauce add nutmeg (frozen)

The list is endless...

Whatever you're in the mood for you can turn into a protein shake.< /p>

And if it's something savory... Go with unjurys unflavored protein to create that savory dish. You can order a sample pack for $21 from them.

Bon appetite!

I use Protein Shots, I get mine at Walmart. I use fruit punch in a fruit punch crystal lite and it is good. You can use other flavors in different crystal lite just have to try them. I add 32 oz Water instead of 20 like the crystal lite says. Good luck.

I have also put shots in Isopure to make them more drinkable.

Remember to check the type of Protein. Collegen protein is usual in the shots and out body doesn't use that as well as whey protein. Also our body can only process 30 grams at a time so 82 is just going to waste

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
