I am still pre-op, but my surgery is on Sept. 9th. The pre WLS shakes from my surgeon's office are blech. And I do mean blech. I drank an Adkins chocolate shake yesterday because I was away from home and needed something in my system. I thought I had died and gone to Heaven. But these shakes are too high in fat.

Please, may I have suggestions for brands of Protein shakes that taste good? Again, the ones my surgeon's office gave us are God awful.

I don't like Premier or any of the RTD shakes. For powders, I use Chike, unjury, Syntrax Matrix, Syntrax nectar Sweets, Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard, and Jay Robb. Chike is definitely my favorite, although I use a half serving most of the time because otherwise it is high calorie and high carb.

What people like is really an individual thing. I think it's a good idea to get a fair number of samples to figure out what works for you. Here are some places for samples/variety packs:

I also like the Healthwise Cappuccino and hot chocolate for hot drinks:

I love mine, and I am picky as can be. My doctor wanted me drinking the ones from his office but they were nasty. I was lucky because I actually see the ones I drink and knew they were great having tested them before. They are called Vemma BODE shakes and were designed by Chris Powell and his wife Heidi of The "Extreme Makeover weight loss edition" exclusively for our company...There is a vanilla and chocolate and they are delicious. I also add banana extract or mint extract or sometimes sugar free pudding to them:)
