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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
