I am 9 months out. Still love drinking Protein Shakes. But the same old ones are getting boring. Can you tell me what your favorite shake is? I could use some suggestions. Thanks ahead of time

My new favorite is GNC Lean shake pumpkin Spice. I haven't tried the pre made ones yet. I bought the powder. GNC has more flavors than I realized. The guy working said banana was good but I haven't bought one yet.

I also bought the Apple Cinnamon but haven't tried it yet.

Have you tried any of the Syntax nectar? I like the Crystal Sky. I mix it with Water and lots of ice. I've tried the cherry, but no too much on it. But once I have surgery I may like it. I found a big tub of the Roadside Lemonade and Crystal Sky for 50% off at The Vitamin Shoppe.

costco Premier Protein chocolate is my fave pre made shake.< /p>

Coconut made with sf coconut Syrup and vanilla protein(all of these with Water or milk of choice, ice cubes to make it thick), double chocolate (chocolate Protein with 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder), banana with chocolate protein and 2 tablespoons of chocolate PG2 (I slice and freeze bananas, one sliced banana in a sandwich bag, then roll it up and put it them in a qt freezer bag & freeze), banana with strawberry protein, sf khalua & sf irish cream syrup with unflavored or vanilla protein. I am going to figure out how to use some frozen watermelon, and frozen canaloupe plus frozen peaches to change up flavors. I went out on Amazon and actually bought a recipe book for Protein Shakes which had some good recipes. "The Bariatric Foodie Guide to Perfect Protein Shakes" by Nikki Massie. It also list websites where to find things. In some of her recipes she uses sf instant pudding mixes, various flavors. Looks like she uses 1 tablespon with the liquid and protein. Haven't tried any shakes yet with the pudding though. Hope this helps you. The one thing I can count on with protein shakes is that it doesn't get stuck plus they fill me up.

I didn't see samples. They do come in 4 packs pre made bottles and a bag of powder. I'm not sure if it comes in a big tub because I bought the bag.

Right now I'm drinking chocolate Protein, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, sf coconut Syrup, and about 4 oz of almond milk, blended with ice cubes. Taste like a dark chocolate almond joy.

I tried it apple today. I wasn't too impressed at first but then I added ice to it and I really enjoyed it. I tried a little of it after I first mixed it and it was a little gritty. But maybe I just needed to let it settle down. I haven't tried grinding ice with mine yet but I may start.

They do have a good strawberry.< /p>

      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? 🤷‍♀️
