I ev 1 I was sleeved dec 17 so I am 10 days post op. Down 25 pounds since surgery. My nut says are you getting down your protein shakes? Me: no they are disgusting. Nut: ok here is a brand that is fantastic!!!!! I swear you'll love it!!! It's called nectar protein. So I go to vitamin shoppe to get it and mix it with water almost threw up. As a matter of fact I started gagging. Now I'm turned off. But I need this protein any suggestions? I swear I wanna do right. So hard. But i am killing the crabs. Love love love it!!!!!!!!!

Designer whey and champion have good tasting protein powders. I love them. And u can buy them fro vitashoppe.com.. i have chocolate and cookies and cream and vanilla almond they all taste very good. And I am one of those people that cannot stand the taste of other protein drinks. They are not made any equal in taste but those 2 brands are soooo good and they will give money back if u dont like them

Nectar Lemon tea is good when mixed with crystal light iced tea. Also nectar Lemonade mixed with crystal light lemonade

I sure hope the above message helps because i have low tolerance for stuff that taste like shit so i know how u feel. Also website is www.vitaminshoppe.com

I use Nectar they have various flavors, Isopure and premier. I'm reminded to get my protein drinks in too.

Good luck

Thank ev 1 for the kind and informational thoughts, on my way to costco to try premier shakes. I really hope I like something, please god!!!!!

Hello Everyone!

I had my sleeve 11/25. As of last Sun I'm down 22 lbs. I don't have much to lose so I guess that's not too bad. I still panic that I will be the person that doesn't lose weight. The doctor told me I should lose between .5-1 lb a day. A long as I'm doing that I guess it will all come in due time. I haven't been exercising. Any suggestions for someone just starting out? Plus I'm not getting in all of my protein either. The shakes are horrible.

I went to unflavored whey protein, most protein powders are way too sugary for me. Threw some natural peanut butter in there, too, did me fine.

Thanks! I will try the Whey Protein.

I'm in South Texas we have HEB that sells mootopia milk with 12g protein in each serving. This with metagenics bariatric advantage (chocholate) 27g protein is great. I get the milk flavored in chocolate add ice and Mmm; blend!

Any one else from South Texas?

I tried Isopure zero straight and yuck!!! So far only tried coconut flavor and horrible aftertaste!!

I will try to cut the isopure apple melon flavor with Water soon cause I'm desperate for Protein ... My NUT mad PA are on my case and claim it is the sole reason why I don't have energy at 16 days post op

I like costco premier chocolate mixed with decaf coffee even tho I'm not a coffee drinker it tastes better to me that way ... I hear some folks mix premier with sf ice cream but my NUT hasn't cleared me for Ice cream

I prefer GNC lean shake vanilla over the strawberry and I blend it with plain nonfat fage Greek yogurt (extra protein) and banana baby food with some dashes of vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger!! Very yummy!! But still a slow go for me to get down due to sliding hernia repair

I have tried designer whey vanilla mixed with almond milk and that's ok .... Will soon try fit frappe powder by big train; I hear its heaven tasting -- search "Less of Sarah" on YouTube and IG -- she has amazing mixes for fit frappe and has lost over 200 pounds 1 year post VSG

I dont know if you like decaf iced coffee,, but I use to buy the gnc whey protein ... 24 grams in a scoop. i blend it into my coffee with some ice and a nice creamer of my choice and it is pretty tasty...

I bought the Syntrax Nectar Fuzzy Navel and was able to get down 7 ounces yesterday. Today, I mixed it with some pineapple orange juice and was able to get all 16 ounces down. 23 grams of protein per scoop so that's much more than I had been getting. I liked the Premier RTD chocolate shakes pre-op but can't stand them post op.

I've try core power , 20 grams goes down easy and mikes is good . Fusion vanilla with tsp peanut butter , goes down good

I have strawberry kiwi a huge one what can I mix with that to get rid of it? Syntax nectar. I am loving the feedback of what brands to get. Thanx
