You really just have to try several until you find what you like.

My fave (even 4 years post op) is EAS AdvanEdge RTD.

As far as powder I like Quest & EAS Lean 15

Something that I wish I knew sooner is you can COOK with Protein powder!! Flourless Protein pancakes, muffins, etc...

Many that don't like milky shakes enjoy nectar and Isopure Zero Carb

I absolutely LOVE the Premier 'ready to drink' shakes.

chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and banana.

I take one shake, a few TB of coffee crystals, and a pump or 2 of Torani sugar free syrup... and it's like a sinfully caloric coffee drink, except it's not! #proteincoffee #proteinicedcoffee

Favorite recipe RN is banana shake, salted caramel Syrup, Greek Nescafe crystals. Mix it up and toss in the freezer...

Check out the Nashua Nutrition site, they have a section where you can buy individual flavors for like $2 so you dont buy a tub of something and hate it.

@@cutefacechubbywaist They can be found in many places. Walmart, grocery stores, GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Amazon, etc...

I find the best price on EAS AdvantEdge RTD at Walmart.

For Isopure Zero Carb and nectar, GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, etc... have a great selection of flavors to choose from.

I love the SDC About Time chocolate Peanut Butter. Throw some PB2 in there and unsweetened vanilla almond milk and it's 29 grams of Protein and tastes like a peanut butter cup.

We all have such different tastes when it comes to Protein Shakes. The shakes one person loves, another will find disgusting.

Personally, I love HealthSmart ChocoRite shakes. They have a bit less Protein than other shakes, but still acceptable (24g for 150 calories and 3 net carbs), and I think they taste amazing. They are the only shake that I've found that doesn't have a gross "protein-y" smell and aftertaste, and they aren't as sickly sweet as some of the others I've tried. They have a bunch of flavors (the yellow cake batter flavor totally tastes just like cake batter, I love the caramel mocha flavor in the mornings, and one scoop banana cream mixed with one scoop Peanut Butter is divine!) They also aren't too expensive (they are $12.99 for an 11-serving container at netrition.com, so less than $1.20 per serving.)

      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!!
