Premier Protein - chocolate. Love them. I get them at Sam's club or Costo. I use to like the vanilla but it's very sweet. Sometimes I do 1/2 and 1/2. The best part is they are 30 grams of Protein and 11 oz of Fluid :)

I am doing my pre-op diet and found some shakes that I love, I just hope and pray that I'll still like them after surgery.

Muscle Milk Pro Series 40g Protein for 14 oz and I love the chocolate Mint

Oh Yeah! 32 g protein for 14 oz, banana creme is the best!!

These aren't cheap, like almost $3 a bottle, but you can order them from Amazon.com in a case of 12.

I liked the Premier Protein, but then I got a case that had to be returned, as it got real thick and chunky... turned me off to that brand.

Just remember the cost of convenience is expensive. If you buy a shaker bottle and mix your Protein with milk or Water depending on the flavor you get the protein and a cost savings that believe me will add up in the long run and we are all in this for the long run right?

Chunky ??? I drink premiere every day never had a chunky one . U can thin it with 2% milk . I add strawberry , caramel or coconut flavoring to the vanilla ones . I love the chocolate but the vanilla is really sweet for my taste.

I'm with you. Post surgery I'm still not a big Breakfast eater, so I like to have a stash of ready made Protein Drinks ready to go to drink in the car in the morning. At now 6 weeks out, I'm growing tired of the vanilla premiere Protein i prefer. Now I take a sip to make room in the container and add a few splashes of sugar-free Torani Syrup to make different flavors. The cherry was delish! The premiere protein is 160 calories and 30 grams of protein. I liked the Isopure low-carb pre-made pre-surgery, but now I think it has a funky after taste and its only 17 grams of protein. Many people don't realize they are adding a lot of extra calories and carbs when they make their powered Protein Shakes in the blender with fruit, Milk and misc. ingredients. Before you know it, it could end up being a 500 calorie drink!

      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!!
