I like Premier Protein, GNC Lean 25, Syntrax nectar, and ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrate.

There are many, many posts on this site with Protein shake recommendations, but the best thing to do is to try them and see what you like.

Everyone has different taste. The important thing is to experiment until you find one that you can tolerate. For me that was "Muscle Milk Light" (vanilla Creme) powder blended with Water using a half a banana. I used a Ninja blender with a single size serving cup. Good luck.

Premier Protein ready-made shakes in vanilla and chocolate are my favorites.

Just a quick note about unjury chicken Soup Protein Powder...I bought some and was adding it to my blended Soups at a little under 2 weeks out to get in my Protein after surgery. My weight loss nearly stopped at 2 weeks. Wasn't a stall...just slowed wwaayy down! Had a follow-up with surgeon and he said that Unjury chicken soup Protein Powder was way too high in sodium and was causing Water retention. I stopped using it and sure enough, the Water retention went away and I started losing again. Your results may vary.

I love the BariWise hot cocoa mixes. They dissolve completely and don't clump like a lot of other Protein mixes. The mint & amaretto are my favorites!

I also just this week tried Smart Protein by TR supplements (you can search for it on Amazon). The vanilla is very mild and not too sweet like a lot of others. It also dissolves completely so no graininess. I mix it with Carbmaster milk and a dash of whatever flavoring drops I want (those little Lorann 1 gm bottles used in candy making). So far, I've used Eggnog, Cake Batter, and Praline & Cream. Fantastically delicious!

Premier Protein seems to be the best tasting and easiest as they are ready made. The can be purchased at Sam's or costco in 18 packs. You can sometimes find them in 4 packs at Walgreens.

The nice part about ready made shakes is you are not dealing with the grit that comes along with the majority of powdered solutions.

I will say that my second favorite would be the syntax Nectars that can be mixed with Water or milk but you will need a blender or blender cup with the little ball in it?

I've been experimenting.

So far here's my favorite:

2 scoops chocolate Muscle Milk Light

1 Tablespoon-sugar free Chocolate Syrup (I use U-Bet brand)

7oz milk (or water)

1 cup chopped ice

Blend until smooth

The chocolate syrup is the key. It covers up the nasty taste. Almost as good as Dairy Queen!

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
