What protein shakes do you use? I'm just wondering which ones to get. Thanks!

Are you pre-op or post-op?

Everyone has different taste buds and different brands, same flavor can taste pretty different. As far as the type of Protein that I use - I only use a whey isolate protein. It is the purest form of whey protein and you get the most "bang for your buck" nutritionally. You should be able to find a GNC. They have plenty and the workers should be pretty knowledgeable. They should also be able to offer a few samples so you can try before you buy.

In the pre-op stage I stuck to ready to drink shakes. I bought Premier Protein Shakes in chocolate and they were delicious without being too high in fat, calories, or carbs. They can be bought at costco if you are a member.

Best of luck!!

Bariatric advantage.

I'm pre-op--thanks!

Pre-op (and still sometimes now) I also drank the Premier Protein. Chocolate's pretty good, but my favorite is the Vanilla- believe it or not to me it tastes just like yellow cake with frosting!

Now that I'm post-op I still find the convenience of "protein in a bottle" very convenient with my work schedule & have been spending time finding alternatives to the chocolate/vanilla humdrum. Everyone's tastebuds are different, but there's a lot of options out there if you're willing to experiment. Best of luck to you!

Pre-op I used Bariatric Advantage and Post-op I found one I like Isopure whey protein isolate. It come in different flavors. I also use the Isopure unflavored protein to add to food/ drinks if I need extra protein.

Thanks, those are the two I was looking into!

I use Jay Robb protein if anyone is interested in a protein mix that doesn't contain artificial sweeteners. I'm allergic to splenda (sucralose) and sugar alcohols. Just in case anyone else is sensitive or allergic as well. sweetened with stevia and the best tasting I've found.

I agree with the above statements your taste buds will changed after surgery don't buy it by the case, try and get samples or check at a GNC.

I love the Premier Protein - chocolate and vanilla. My wife and 6 year old even loves them and drinks them regularly. We buy them by the case at Sam's.

Try piping rock, it is the cheapest I have found that it mixes with warmer liquids without making "cottage cheese" in your glass. It has the least aftertaste. I use the unflavored and can mix anything with it. I have tried at least 10 different powders and really like this the best. I use the internet to purchase it, and it is shipped super quickly. Also, Bariatri choice has some great berry protein mixes too.

Atkins work great with my system
