I tested out a number of Protein shakes (powders) pre-surgery and stocked up on them. Post-surgery, I couldn't stand them. They gave me Premier Protein in the hospital, and that's been the only thing I've been able to tolerate since. I'm getting sick of chocolate, so I ordered a variety pack from Amazon with chocolate, vanilla, banana, strawberry, and caramel. I have only seen chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry in my local stores. The others are available through Amazon though. I'm finding the vanilla and caramel too sickly sweet, am going to try them as Creamers in coffee. :) I don't care for artificial strawberry anything, and haven't tried the banana yet.

Thanks! My Walmart had vanilla, chocolate, strawberries and cream and caramel. I bough vanilla. I had chocolate unjury and it was too sweet so I grabbed the vanilla PP.

I get vanilla, chocolate and strawberry at costco. I have found a four pack of banana at walmart! I love them (except strawberry, wayyy to sweet for me). I also use the instant Decaf coffee in the vanilla.

I haven't had my surgery yet. I'm getting my date on Wednesday he said. But I need to find a shake I like for my pre op 1 week liquid diet. They want me to have 4 a day. And whatever other liquids. How was the surgery? How do you feel?

I think The Premier shakes are gross. I can see why so many people complain about first and second stage liquid diet if this is all they have to eat.

I got samples of different brands and chose the one I liked best (Unjury) but most people on my pre op classes just go to costco and get Premier and then complain about it. Seems to me that ENJOYING what you eat/drink would help you succeed.

Maybe it's a weird sort of self esteem issue?

My mom had gastric bypass oct 2013 and she said the only thing she liked was unjury too. I had chocolate and it seems too sweet for me, especially everyday. So, I have a sample of vanilla I'm going to try today. And I bough PP just to see if I like it. Most Protein shakes I've had (from my BF, he drinks them for body building etc) and I think they have a nasty after taste. I hope I find something! Lol

I ONLY drink premier Protein shakes, I get chocolate 12 pack case at bj's wholesale club for 18.00, this month they have a 5.00 off coupon and our local paper had a 5.00 off coupon (use can use 1 of their coupons and 1 manufacturer or 2 manufacture coupons) so i got 3 cases for 24.00. As someone else said keep them super cold, theres no after taste that's harsh at all! they truly go down like chocolate milk! They are great my hubs likes the strawberry creme and vanilla! You can even buy them on their web site and have them shipped. I have also tossed a Decaf instant coffee pack into one i added ice in a blender too to make a mocha frappe it was the BOMB! Also with the vanilla I have lots of friends who use the Torani sugar free syrups to flavor them in hundreds of ways!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
