In 10days at this very time I will officially be in a new phase of my life thanks to my surgeon and my new sleeve. I am on a 1200 calories pre-op diet and trying to stick with mostly liquids. So my question is what were your favorite Protein drinks? I like Premier Protein thus far and wanted a few suggestions so I can get some samples of other types to see what I like post op.

Bariatric Pal told me to try Unjury and Nectar, and Bariatric Pal did not steer me wrong. I like them both in addition to Premier. Between the two brands, there are a lot of flavors to try - you can get sample pack of all the Nectar flavors from the Bariatric Pal store and a sampler pack from Unjury's website to test them out without having to buy a whole can.

I am a fan of the Syntrax Nectars. They are available in single serve packets too, so you can easily try them before you buy a big tub. I like the single serve packets for the portability, and keep several flavors in my desk at work.

Unjury Chocolate and Chocolate Truffle Nectar have been my favorites up to this point. Chike coffee protein is also pretty good.

Tonight I just bought some syntrax nectar sample packs from Vitamin Shoppe and I love them! So far I've tried the fuzzy navel flavor. Premier and muscle milk didn't sit too well in my stomach

Glad I saw this forum!

Unjury chicken soup is good if you want a break from all the sweet. Oh Yeah cookies and cream is also a fav of mine.

Thanks for the feedback! I am going to order the unjury and nectar variety packs this week so that I can try them out. Oh I found the Nectar variety pack at https://www.smartbodynutrition.com/syntrax-nectar-protein-variety-pack.html for $20, which is cheaper than any other website I've seen thus far. Oh and for anyone that likes the Premier Protein....Sam's Club has a case for $14.98 until 3/27/16.

In addition to premier, Syntrax and unjury, I liked:

GNC Lean shake 25 (orange cream is my favorite);

ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates;

ProtiDiet creamy chicken and tomato basil soups;

WonderSlim dark chocolate pudding; and

ProtiDiet hot chocolate.

I was able to tolerate Protein drinks pre-op but now not so much. I purchased the Isopure unflavored Protein powder. 1 scoop 25g protein and no taste. I mix it with 1% lactose free milk and sprinkle some sugar free hot cocoa mix and make my own chocolate Protein shake without the aftertaste. It is a lot more economical as well. Also add protein powder to soup etc.

I am all about Quest Protein drinks and bars. I like the vanilla and add whatever extract to have: root beer, mint, rum, orange,, raspberry, lemon, anise, cherry, Peanut Butter, ...

get the idea? The salted caramel is good too, but not as an everyday--a bit too sweet.

The chocolate shake tastes just like a chocolate shake--image that!

I have a Quest bar for lunch on the days I swim. I like the numbers, but not as a daily thing.

GNC sells samples, which I think you are doing the right thing by purchasing those first.

Also with the Quest Protein, there are numerous recipes which are delicious. Even my grandsons love to eat them!

Good hunting and welcome!
