I also prefer Premier Protein shakes. costco has a good price. It's available in my local Costco as well as online. I like all 3 flavors. I like not having to mix powders.< /p>

I agree. Premier is the best!!!.. but I also no longer like the strawberry after surgery... which is a bummer but I put my chocolate in the freezer a little bit before drinking so it has a nice cold semi slushy texture! ...mmmmm

I found Unjury to be the best if you are looking for a powder. I started out with Bariatric Advantage but didn't like the flavor. Unjury also has unflavored and a chicken Soup flavor if you sometimes just do not want something sweet. It is only available on line. I also like Quest for Protein Bars.< /p>

A lot of the recommended powder ones seem so sweet to me since many have Stevia in them which, sadly, i don't care for or another sugar substitute. I hate all the vanilla ones that my nutritionist recommended.

However, luckily, I do have one favorite (I'm currently on day 6 of my two-week pre-op Protein shake prep): Dymatize Elite XT Extended Release banana Nut. It is available on Amazon.< /p>

I like Premier Protein in the chocolate & strawberry. I haven't tried vanilla. They came out with a smaller shake in a mixed berry. I hated it & threw out 3 containers. I could hardly get thru the 1 I did drink. As for the powders I like Syntrax nectar in Vanilla Torte, Fuzzy Navel & a couple of others. You can buy them in individual servings & I recommend buying these until you figure what flavors you want. I also mix my Protein powder with Silk milk. I hate using Water. I get my powder from The Vitamin Shoppe. You can also order it online from their website or from Amazon.< /p>

The unjury chicken Soup is good. I used it a lot at first when my stomach was a bit nauseated. I also have a jar of their unflavored powder that I use Torini sugar free flavors with. Those are really good. I have the vanilla & chocolate. Torini has a website to order from. I don't know of any stores that sell this liquid flavoring.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
