There are lots of previous threads on this, might be the most popular topic. That being said my favorite is powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate Splendor, PB2 Peanut Butter Protein, skim milk and ice in a blender. Today I used Chike coffee Protein (1/2 scoop) with the chocolate Splendor for a Mocha shake that was excellent. I like the Unjury products: strawberry Sorbet (with lemonade), French vanilla and unflavored.

For RTD I use Premier Protein (choc or vanilla) or Atkins shakes.

I make my own...starting with 100% whey....35gm Protein...8oz's of almond milk...then add just about anything I'm in the mood for....all in a good blender....

This morning I kept it simple and just added 2 shots of espresso....but I usually get more creative than that...

I do not like pre-flavored mixes, but rather add fresh fruits, berries, etc....

Is it unflavored or vanilla? I wondered about making a coffee drink. I tried Chike coffee - it was not for me. I'm 1 week out from my pre-op liquid diet. I'm getting scared and wonder what really works for other people. I've read some of the past forums, but it's really nice to be"apart" of the conversation. Thank you both for your replies!

I'm in UK. so what I use is probably unavailable in US, but I always use unsweetened almond milk nowadays, as oppose to Water - I feel I enjoy it a lot more and its the shake doesn't fill me with any dread whatsoever :)

Almond milk is becoming very popular...the health club-gym I go to started offering it in their shakes.....I bought some and use it in my shakes...very smooth and flavorful....going to try it in my coffee...see what happens.

I avoid dairy products when possible.....

That's what the PB2 is its only 22.5 calories for 1 Tbsp. A lot less than actual peanut butter!

I find a favorite, drink it for a while, then get bored and then find another...

Lately it's been unjury chocolate Splendor, 8 ounces of 1% milk, splash of sugar free Peppermint Syrup, 1 teaspoon Hershey's cocoa and some ice cubes. Whiz up in the blender...tastes like Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. Yummo

I really like Premier Protein RTD. I'm worried if I drink too much of it, I'm going to get bored. When you all did your pre-op diet, did you have a routine (A certain drink for Breakfast, something else for lunch something for dinner) or did you drink the same thing 3-4x a day? How many Blender bottles do you own?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
