Hello, I use whey Protein by Body Fortress from Walmart, i use 1/2 scoop of vanilla and 1/2 scoop of chocolate w skim milk and I really enjoy it. I never liked shakes or anything like it but with time I got used to it and now I even miss it, weird! I will be doing a revision from lapband to sleeve on the 26, God willing everything goes as planned.

I LOVE the chocolate Premier shakes, ready to drink, available at costco, Sams Club and some Walmarts. They also have the powder which I am going to pick up tomorrow.

I ordered Protein samples from Nashua Nutrition and I totally recommend doing this before buying a whole tub. I tried the Syntrax Nectar chocolate Truffle because everyone seems to be crazy over it.... honestly this stuff is magical. I could totally do two weeks of pre-op if I could drink that three times a day! Also tried the Syntrax Cappuccino and that was great as well!

I also liked all the ones that were already mentioned. Body Fortress is very good and reasonably priced. I often added Torani syrups to it or fresh fruit. I used milk - it gives you more Protein anyway - and I often used Almond Milk - a little less Protein but also fewer calories. I liked the Syntrax Roadside Lemonade when I wanted something a little different. There is a good deal you can get with them for a set of samples - I think you get 14 - and it was good to try them all. I bought it almost two years ago now so don't remember the details but I'm sure if you search the forums or even Google it you will find it. It's a one time deal. The Premier ready made shakes were perfect to take on the road with me. There were many times where we were heading out and I wasn't sure when or where we would be eating so I would keep one in the car at all times. I also would grab for a quick Breakfast when we wanted to 'get up and go' and I just didn't feel like really eating (believe it or not, you'll understand after better after surgery). Then there is powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored. I bought a tub of both that as well as their chicken Soup. The Soup was very good again when I wanted something different. You should be able to get sample packs to try first too. I was fortunate that my surgeon gave me some before I ordered the whole tub (even though their tub is half the size of many). Lastly one that I only tried recently but have enjoyed is Bari-wise - their hot chocolate and their chocolate shake/pudding mix. They have a little less protein than the others but are pretty tasty and low calorie - mix with Water, so good for a protein 'bump up' if you are running low against your target some days.

Hope this helps...

Hi! My favorite powders are Syntrax Nectar chocolate truffle and the double stuffed cookie. I mix my shakes with milk now, but the first couple days after surgery I was not tolerating milk so well so I used Water. Just a tip though, I mixed the double stuffed cookie with water one day because I was out of milk and I thought it was nasty! I also ordered a bunch of samples from Nashua Nutrition- love that site. I recently tried the Celebrate cake batter flavor and it was pretty good. I like to mix that one with a bit of SF pudding mix.

Syntrax Nectars are great. My husband even likes them and he hates Protein Shakes.< /p>

I LOVE Core Power Light they are so good!!! A little pricey but they don't have that chalky taste like a lot have. That one is the only one I like.

I like injury, especially chocolate, I really like GNC Cookies n cream. I'm looking into samples from other companies. I bought a book written by a gastric bypass patient on Protein Shakes called. The Bariatric Foodie Guide to the perfect Protein shakes by Nikkie Massie. She also has blog Bariatric Foodie which has more shake ideas.

      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!!
