I reallylike the Unjury mix. It is a little bit of a pain to have to order it online but it mixes well with skim milk and tastes great.

I have only tried vanilla Unjury. It's pretty good. I mix mine with skim milk. I wish I could get it a little thicker. Any suggestions? I would like to try the chocolate and strawberry flavor. Are they just as good as the vanilla?

I have tried GNC Pro performance line of shake mix. The naturally unflavored was my favorite, you can't smell or taste it. I make smoothies with it. I have tried Pure Protein brand, you can get it at Walmart or sam's club, in vanilla and chocolate. They were pretty good. I mixed mine with 0% milk. I had to purchase Bariatric Advantage from my surgeon's office in a package deal. They have to be mixed with cold Water. They are nasty with the water, so I mixed it with the 0% milk again and that helped. You would think that since bariatric advantage is like 60 dollars a container, it would taste better. I have also had some of Syntrax Nectar flavors. Some swear by them, but I thought they were gross. I would buy the sampler pack off BJs Bariatrics to try some out before buying a container full. I have also mixed some Torani and davinci sugar free Syrup in my shake for a little extra flavor.

The Unjury chocolate splendor is SO good to me. I like the unflavored and add it to broth so far.

My favorite is Jay Robb. It is light, mixes well and tastes great. I have his chocolate, vanilla, and pina colada flavors. I add Torani sugar free syrups for different flavors. You can buy sample packs at the Vitamin Shoppe to try them. He also has strawberry and orange crème flavors but I haven't tried them yet. They are not really heavy and I like that. I take Premier premade ones if I go away. I mix mine with almond milk unsweetened vanilla flavor. I tried the sample pack of Nector and Twisted cherry was good so far but weird since I am used to milky ones.

My vote goes for Premier Protein Shakes, chocolate. I drink one everyday and have for over a year. Best premade Protein shake, I could find.

GNC pro performance naturally unflavored is tasteless and odorless. I used it at the time.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
