Gotta try different types. My favorite are premier chocolate. Yum

Just make your own out of low fat or fat free greek yogurt. It has over 20g Protein per cup and you can add all types of goodness to them. If you need suggestions on what to put in them I can help with that too. Also.... what are you using to mix with it? My go to is Unsweetened Almond Milk (non flavored).

I have been using premier protein chocolate,but I'm just gagging during the whole thing !

You can thin it with a little almond milk or branch out n try different types and textures. It's definitely hit or miss with them.

This may sound weird but I use GNC unflavored

2scoops

1 packet of crystal light raspberry lemonade

1 quart of Water

I've had it almost every day for four years and haven't gotten tired of it

Also add a teaspoon of unflavored in Soups and other liquids, sneak it in, it makes a difference.

Well... I researched consumer reviews on Premier b/c I heard they take some insurances and I found a lot of ppl commenting that that brand is very unpalatable. There is a local company here in Buffalo, NY called fusion. Website is www.bariatricfusion.com. I really like their chocolate Mousse and strawberry Shortcake (only flavors I have tried thus far). I just bought orange flavor today and I heard it tastes like an orangesicle.

In addition to Unsweetened Almond Milk I add a little greek yogurt for a little extra creaminess.

I love powdered PB in the chocolate.

In the Strawberry I add frozen organic berries.

I also like adding flax and chia seeds and organic hemp powered. Look at www.nutiva.com as well.

I prefer drinking these shakes over eating at this point b/c I tolerate them without any difficulty.

I'm assuming that would hold true for pre op as well? When was your surgery and how are you doing?

I like EAS myoplex light. My favorites are strawberry and Cookies and Cream. vanilla is yummy too. I have the chocolate as well but its not my favorite. Are you pre-op or post -op? Are you able to add 'goodies' to your shakes yet...???

I am not sure about pre op. I stuck to the directions on the canister. I just mixed fusion bariatric Protein powder with the almond milk and a couple ice cubes to add thickness.

I had surgery Feb. 3rd so I am like 11 days post op. I am doing pretty good thanks for asking. I had a bad day today. Nothing was sitting well except Water. I am still extremely fatigued but I have one more week off for a total of 3 weeks. Its hard to catch up on rest since I have a three year old who is a boss.

I really like gnc's extreme 60 whey protein in chocolate. It really tastes just like chocolate milk.

I do not like pre-made shakes. If my insurance approves those I am going to certainly try but the bariatric shakes I get here locally are really good. I like to doctor my shakes up anyways. So I am always adding to them. Because those powders are expensive I often use 1/2 scoop and add greek yogurt to it along with other ingredients to up the Protein. Does your insurance cover Premier? What other powders have you tried? Have they all been bariatric shakes??

I love the Bariatric fusion powders. Or at least the cappacino, orange cream and the cinnamon bun ones. Wasn't a fan of the unflavored or chocolate mousse.

I still have the strawberry and mint choc chip to try.

I also love the no sugar added carnation instant Breakfast. Totally 100% tastes just like chocolate milk.

So that's a no. Premier is the most recommended RTD shake on this site. I love it with a splash of torani sf raspberry syrup and it has 30g carbs.

Some ppl, like me, aren't allowed Greek yogurt on their preop. But I'll definitely give it a try after I'm cleared to.

I've tried unjury, about time, new direction, bariatric fusion and Bariatric Advantage. The only one that didn't make me gag or make me sick was about time. It has like 5 ingredients and you can pronounce every one. Uses stevia as a sweetener.

I love the chocolate Mousse! LOL I add powder Peanut Butter to it... delish! What do you to mix it with? Did you like that Orange Cream? I just bought a tube of it today. I buy it at a local pharmacy...they stock all flavors. How did you hear about fusion btw?
