I really like the boost carb control in chocolate! Slim Fast strawberry is good too. I just started my pre-op liquid diet today. I have tried many shakes before choosing but my nutritionist gave me a list of the allowed shakes so just make sure you can have them before trying them! Save yourself the moneyy.

Ideal lean is my fav. High Protein low carb. Many flavors and delicious.

I am currently on the pre-op Liquid Protein diet. I am using Six Star Elite whey Isolate. It comes in this big a** tub that you can buy at walmart or amazon. It's not bad tasting (though a bit on the sweet side), and it is 30 g protein a serving, and practially zero carbs and fat.

I use water.

I have tried so many and hated every single one of them. I recently picked up someone's suggestion of premier Protein and got me the chocolate flavour. My struggle with protein is over. This stuff is already made, delicious and very inexpensive.

I bought 2 5 lbs tubs of the Isopure chocolate and strawberry from GNC. I use the unsweetened 30 calorie almond milk. It makes them thicker and taste better.

GNC lean shake

A couple of posters have mentioned these -- Total Lean from GNC. They are my favorite too, and I want to note that they also sell Total Lean Natural. They sell a third one that I believe is vegan. The packages are nearly identical, so look closely, but the difference is that the "natural" one is sweetened with stevia rather than sucralose. To some people, stevia tastes much better, and some people get headaches from sucralose or (especially) aspartame.

Long way of saying I'm another cheerleader for GNC Total Lean, natural edition (something tells me not much is natural about it...that's just what they call it), vanilla and chocolate. I keep a few packets on hand in case I have to mix one up during the day if I can't find appropriate food, but mostly I rely on big tubs of the powder that I keep at home.

I rely on GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder. It's very protein efficient (a tablespoon has 30 grams protein, just over half a gram of carbs, and 56 calories) I use it to make my own shakes adding various liquids and flavors - Water, ice, nonfat greek yogurt, sugar-free flavored syrups, stevia, whatever.

Another thing about the full liquids phases: you don't need to be on all shakes all the time. If you use GENEPRO -- or any unflavored powder you find you like, you can mix and hide it into foods in the pre and post op liquid stages and later post op food phases too. I like Protein Shakes, but at times, both pre and post op, I just wanted something savory, not sweet. When I was on liquids I was craving Soup, mixed in two teaspoons of the powder and boom, my soup had 20g+ protein.

So when you're thinking about what to consume during the full liquid stages, don't forget that there are options other than sweet shakes. (You can also order savory protein Soups for the full liquid stages and skip the step of adding your own protein powder; I didn't do it so can't offer any advice!)
