I liked the 100 calorie chocolate ones a lot. They have 25 grams of Protein. Would have those for Breakfast some days before surgery and used them through my pre-op diet. I haven't had any after, though. My surgeon and nutritionist told me not to drink them afterwards. They advised me not to have any protein powders or shakes with extra Vitamins. I've been using EAS shakes. They go for something like $26 on Amazon for 12 of them or $8 in Target for 4. Kind of expensive, but I like them. My nutritionist wasn't happy that they were 7 carbs, but was happy that I was able to tolerate them. Too many of the pre-made shakes have a bit of a tinny taste to me and this one didn't have it.

I used Muscle Milk Light (vanilla Creme). I found that blending in a half a banana improved the flavor.

I don't like any. What I found tbat tastes pretty good is actually the high Protein carnation breakfast shake. That has 15g of protein. I mix that with a scoop of chocolate premiere protein and some frozen banana and it's good

If your looking for a less processed shake, I find these to be delicious:

1/2 medium size banana

4oz unsweetened chocolate Almond Milk

3 tbsp Peanut Powder (I use Hoosier Hill Farm)

2 tbsp Ghiradelli unsweetened cocoa powder

274 calories

28g Protein

If you are worried about calorie intake, you can drop the cocoa powder, saving 40 calories and only losing 2g of Protein (234 calories, 26g protein).

Funnt to be reading this now. I'm in suburb to verify my airbag recall. They said they had one replacement left, so I wasn't prepared for the 2 hour job. Their waiting room has delicious looking Cookies. I walked right out and into the gas station quick mart next door. In my past life, I would have bought candy and ate the Cookies. Instead after walking around I settled on a muscle milk, 20 Protein, 100 calories and now sitting here drinking it and not at all intrigued with the cookies.

I like Unjury powder. I mostly use the unflavored. One scoop in 8 oz 1% milk is 28grams of Protein. The after taste of the premised shakes, especially the premier, makes me gag. I can handle Muscle Milk. Don't love it but you can find it just about anywhere.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
