Wow! Did not know you could return Protein powder/shakes! That is great!

I'm glad I am not the only one who can't stand Bariatric Advantage/Fusion.

Do you get the PE science from GNC/Vitamin Shoppe? I will have to look for it.

My local Vitamin Shoppe did it for me once but said they aren't supposed to for "flavored" Protein powders for what it's worth

I can't stand any ready made except Atkins and I don't like its stats so k save it for coffee Creamer and emergencies.

I love the Syntrax matrix line (esp Peanut Butter cookie) and the BSN Syntha 6 (esp the mochaccino and orange cream)

My Vitamin shoppe takes them back for credit. Maybe they are independently owned and each makes there own rule. I always ask can I return especially Protein powders. GNC you have 30 days to return of course both place you need a receipt. I am sure GNC and the Vitamin Shoppe has me on a watch list for all the returns :)

@disneydreamer I get the PE science at the Vitamin shop. You can order on the internet as well. They have a new flavor called Blondie...suppose to be better than snickerdoodle, I haven't tried it yet.

The Unjury chicken broth is fantastic. And to spice up without oversweetening my premier shakes I've used a variety of extracts (lemon chocolate and chocolate mint are the best).

I've been trying to find the right Protein shake for after my surgery, although I have heard tastes will change after surgery. What I can tell you is that the Permier Protein shakes from Walmart are pretty good and high in Protein. But still has that 'protien drink' taste. I also tried both powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolates, and although they are very good (especially as a hot chocolate!!) it still has that taste. But the Unjury chicken Soup is delicious and doesn't taste funny!!! And the Unjury strawberry sorbet is delicious!!! But I agree.....I would recommend you get the sample packs so you can make up your own mind! I haven't tried the vanilla or the unflavored yet, but I have the samples so I'll have to try it eventually! I plan on putting the unflavored into my delicious garlic soup!!! :)

Good luck to you!

I like the Pure Protein in vanilla cream also. I found several that I liked prior to surgery and then hated them after.

I wanted something not chocolate, vanilla or strawberry. I went to Nashua Nutrition and they sell samples of TONS of brands and flavors. My favorites are the Syntrax for the kool aid type flavors.

I also have liked the Isopure premade stuff -- like kool aid as well and 40 g Protein in one bottle!

#1 premier Protein chocolate

#2 Premier Protein strawberry

They are $25 for 18 pack at costco, but they regularly have $5 bucks off specials.

#3 - really can't stand any others to drink but I do use Syntrax nectar vanilla bean to make Protein pancakes and a few other creative solutions

Syntrax is a good product, but it does not satiate me and mixed with Water does not taste that great to drink. Mixed with milk it suddenly becomes high carb so it just doesn't suit me.

I've sampled a lot through them and found some of my faves that way! I still like to order some that way for ones I like but don't want a whole tub of... Good for on the go and to keep in the car too!

My doctor wants me to use Bariatric Advantage until a month after surgery. I bought the vanilla and I add different things like a little frozen fruit, coffee( latte) or unsweetened cocoa or extracts(banana is my favorite) my doctor allows almond milk as well so it's makes it creamy so it's not too bad.

I don't get docs that push a certain brand...makes me suspicious that they are making money off of it somehow, esp since in reality, it doesn't matter - just so the stats are there

I prefer the unjury chocolate Splendor (+ malted milk powder), Vanilla and strawberry blended with SILK Unsweetened Soymilk + artificial sweetener.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
