Taste and preference are very subjective, but the only shake I've found palatable, both as a pre op and as a post op, is Premier Protein. These are the ready made ones, although I tried every powder under the sun, the texture just wasn't working for me.

A lot of companies have sample packs available so you might want to start with that. But keep in mind that your taste buds might change after surgery, so don't overstock.

Great. My mother drinks the premier just for the heck if it and recommended it. I saw it at Walmart and it seemed reasonably priced. My husband drinks muscles milk which also had a 20g version. Has anyone tried the strawberries and cream? I saw it said improved taste on the box so I was wondering how awful it was beforehand. Lol.

I use a couple different ones. Musclemilk and Elevation (from Aldi. for the vanilla flavor I add an individual flavored drop-in powder. Right now my favorite is pineapple drop-in and vanilla.

I also put Peanut Butter powder (low fat low cal) with my chocolate shakes. Yum!

I'm currently down to one more primary doctor visit and then hopefully a quick approval but until then I'm using the Protein drinks for two meals a day most days.

The Premier Protein is my favorite, they just released a caramel flavor which is a nice change. Bananas and cream is okay. I get mine at costco or sam's club. Buying by the case puts the cost slightly over a dollar per. I drink 2 a day post op so I get about 60g of Protein just from that.

I bought these yesterday at Walmart. Trying the vanilla today. It's not that bad. I can slightly taste the Splendia but it's not overwhelming. Usually I get headaches from sugar substitutes but I had one already so I won't know if they cause one today. Good news is that I could tolerate the taste well enough to finish it today. The first powder I tried didn't pass that test.

Thanks again for the recommendation.

Premier Protein pre made shakes! I couldn't tolerate ANYTHING so thank god for these. You can buy single bottles from their website so you can try different flavors without buying a 4 pack

I just tried a sample pack from GNC of bpi Sports ISO HD in banana Cream Pie. 25g of Protein in a 5 oz drink. I just stirred it in cold Water, slightly lumpy but it was very tolerable and because it mixed in such a small amount of Water it might be a good one for post surgical with low Protein and limited consumption.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
