I tried several but ultimately settled on Body Fortress from Walmart. The chocolate and vanilla are the best. The chocolate Peanut Butter is okay. The strawberry is kinda blah.

Can anyone recommend Protein shakes that don't taste like chalk? I know this is very subjective but I need to start gathering samples and trying them. Surgery will be late June/early July.

You just need to try a variety to see what you like. Everyone's tastes are different.

I like:

Premier Protein (chocolate is my favorite, but I also like the strawberry and vanilla)

GNC Lean 25 (my favorite is orange cream)

Syntrax nectar (my favorite is fuzzy navel)

Quest (salted caramel)

Carnation no sugar added Breakfast essentials

ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates (these were great when I was on clears, now they are an easy way to boost my Protein by adding them to my Water bottle)

For more savory options:

Unjury chicken Soup

ProtiDiet creamy chicken and Tomato basil Soups

Definitely try samples before investing in bulk.

I use Premier chocolate shake I add half a banana Greek yogurt and Peanut Butter some ice and blend. 2 grams of sugar in the Peanut Butter only use a table spoon and one shake it makes enough for a few days.

One shake, even with these additions should NOT last a few days. that is not good advice.

Not everyone is you. Some people are bigger some are smaller some went from eating thousands of calories a day some not. Some of us had the bariatric bypass surgery some had the sleeve. People who had the sleeve are less restricted. If she or you can drink a whole pitcher of shake then that is absolutely fine. But a lot of us can't.

All of the Chike brand shakes were great to me. Excellent flavors without aftertaste.

I love Total Lean 25 from GNC. Banana is fabulous (add a little choc pb2!!) and Cookies and cream is pretty good too. I don't like the vanilla but my hubby does. The chocolate left a funny aftertaste. It was the only thing that made the pre-op diet doable! I add some Fairlife milk sometimes for a creamier shake and extra Protein. As for the others...Quest salted caramel was pretty good. I have some single packs of those to try. I also use the Unjury unflavored to add into things.

I'm in love with vanilla flavored unjury (I add 1/2-1 tsp of vanilla extract to it to make it have a stronger vanilla taste) and the green tea flavored Isopure. My taste buds really changed after surgery and the shakes and flavors I liked before make me almost nauseous now. These 2 are about the only ones that I can not only stand but actually enjoy drinking.

I didn't like the Premiere Protein shakes - got a small case with 3 of each flavor, meh! I prefer SlimFast High Protein/Advanced Formula, Pure Protein, or Muscle Milk. These may be the ones you're describing as "chalky", but I guess tastes vary!

Pre-op, I really liked HealthSmart Chocorite shakes. My favorites were their caramel mocha, Peanut Butter, banana creme, and chocolate brownie flavors. I'm not sure if they are sold in stores- I bought them online at netrition.com. However, post-op, I can't stomach them. Now my favorite is 1/2 of a premade Premier Protein shake mixed with 8 oz Fairlife skim milk- by itself, I find the Premier Protein way too sweet, but mixed like this it is much less sweet and using the Fairlife milk gives pretty much the same amount of protein.

I'm still in the trying everything out phase, but today i had the Chike Banana and OMG it was amazing! I'll warn you though, it was thick even after adding 12 oz of fairlife milk....otherwise i also liked Syntrax nectar Sweets chocolate Truffle. unjury was good too, but didn't sit well in my stomach. The only brands i haven't tried are Quest and Isopure.< /p>

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
