I agree with Seela though, the RTD (ready to drink) Preimer Protein shakes (I've only tried chocolate) are by far my favorite.

Isolyze tastes pretty good. I've tried the chocolate Milk and Choclate Peanut Butter. http://www.speciesnutrition.com/index.php/store#!/~/product/id=20099369

I'd like to know if anyone has tried these: http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2612796 Natures Best Isopure Zero Carb - they look like Gatoraide not like a shake.

The Isopure was recommended to me to get Protein during clear liquid phases. I have been pretty fortunate to like and tolerate a lot but this was the one thing I just couldn't drink. I tried 4 different flavors and the thickness of it just made me queasy? Not sure the exact reason but couldn't live with that one

Body Fortress is definitely on the cheap side ($16 for a 2 lb tub) and it has 30 grams per scoop. You can buy it online or at Walmart. I haven't tried it but I know lots of people love it.

The problem is that it also has 170 calories per scoop and 7 carbs. I think that's the tradeoff you are going to get with most Protein powders - if you want higher protein, you are going to get higher calories and carbs. So it really depends on what is most important to you.

Target sells the Pure Protein brand, which is 25 grams of protein per scoop, but lower calories & carbs at 140 and 3 respectively. It is a little more expensive at $19 per 2 lb tub but that's still a lot cheaper than many other protein powders. It also has lots of fans but again I haven't tried it myself.

I am a big fan or Premier ready to drink. They have 30 grams of Protein and are so convenient. You can add Torani sugar free syrups to the chocolate or vanilla shake to vary the taste.

Another Premier Fan, I've tried Syntrax and Unjury mixes but I prefer the RTD Premier, no weird taste or texture and feels good on my sleeve if that makes sense...like it coats it lol!!! Isopure & I have a love & hate relationship....if I could just get passed that sour maple Syrup aftertaste, I'd love it, I mean 40 grams of Protein and we cons count towards our Water on my program....but alas I still va or the Premier!

On my pre-op diet I am using Premier Protein (chocolate and Vanilla) 30g proteien

In the mornings I use Syntrax nectar (Chocolate Truffle and Cookies and Cream) 23 g Protein

I buy both through Amazon. Both taste good to me. However I will say that the Syntrax Nectar does take a good shake to get it to dissolve so sometimes if I am in a hurry I am eating chunks of protein. :)

Can not stand the after taste of Isopure.< /p>

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
