I'm pre-sleeve right now, but reading up and preparing.

I have been on Ideal Protein diet and used Syntrax Nectars to replace the costly Ideal Protein packs: you can order a bunch of sample packs through Nashua Nutrition: https://www.nashuanutrition.com/store/protein-powders/syntrax-nectar-grab-n-go-12-servings.html

There are lots of bariatric Protein Drink choices on this site.

For Syntrax: I love Twisted cherry, vanilla Bean Torte, Cappuccino, Double-Stuffed Cookie and Crystal Sky.

I'm stocking up on a variety of flavors for my pre-surgery/post-surgery liquid diet.

Premier Protein chocolate has my ENTIRE family now using them for a meal - reasonably close in taste/texture to chocolate milk.

You can get the Premier Protein chocolate at Wal-Mart

Thanks for the suggestion. I just ordered a bunch of samples of the Syntrax from Nashua Nutrition. They were less than $2 each so I can try them before wasting a ton of money. I hope they are as good as the Ideal Protein chocolate shake. I haven't had one yet that can top it.

ive tried over 10 different brands of Protein. my new favorite is body fortress chocolate whey isolate. at 130 calories and 30g of Protein along with the best tasting chocolate from all the ones ive tried, its my fav. and only $20 at Amazon. give it a try as it mixes well and really has a great chocolate taste.

I am looking for a clear Liquid Protein drink that tastes good, right now I have Dymatize Nutrition ISO-100 Hydrolyzed it's 100 percent whey Protein isolate and mixed with Water but am not entirely sure it is considered a " clear protein" drink

Isopure makes a line of clear Protein Drinks. The numbers are great. I found the taste revolting but some people like them. I found I could choke them down if I mixed them half and half with G2 or light fruit juice. I drank a lot of it immediately post op, because I figured it didn't matter whether I liked it, it only mattered that I was able to get my liquids and Proteins down. Eventually I was able to move on to tastier stuff and all that Isopuke seems like a bad dream now!

So I guess it's safe not to even bother with Isopure right! Thanks for the honest feedback. Saved me the time of messing with this.

I would taste them yourself post op. I'm another that did not like it, but many do.

My fav Protein powder was GNC gold Standard whey in French vanilla. Pre-op I liked it in chocolate, but post-op I only liked it in Vanilla.

I really love Isopure Protein drink which is more like Kool-aid, not at all milky or like a shake. It has 40 grams of protein per 20 oz. bottle, no aspartame and 160 calories. I try to drink one/day to stay hydrated and it really helps to get my protein in. I love the Alpine Punch, Grape Frost, and Blue Raspberry; the Mango Peach is okay and Icy Orange is horrible. I buy at my local GNC for about $3.64/bottle after discounts. It's worth it. This is not the same as the Isopure Protein powders.< /p>

Isopure makes a very high quality zero carb powder that is highly recommended by many health nut forums. It's all I drink. I order mine from Amazon since it's half the cost of GNC and has a ton of flavors. I'm 15 months out and still have one for Breakfast and one for lunch. I have learned to customize and mix flavors to come up with awesome shakes that I never get sick of. I always carry a baby formula dispenser with unflavored in it, drop your favorite crystal light or mio in it and you're good to go! I make iced coffee "Starbucks style" drinks with them as well. Moral of the story from my experience, buy smaller portions of a bunch of flavors and get creative!

I attached the label from strawberry since that's the container I have at work.

      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.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
