The only one I can handle is Premiere Protein ready made in banana Cream and vanilla. I have tried them all and even made my own. Best price for them seems to be at Walmart and costco. Good luck.

I thought this was going to be a post about going off the wagon and under the table. :P

I've tried a few different ones, but I really like a couple from Gold Standard. Their extreme milk chocolate comes very close to Nestles Quik, and their strawberry comes pretty close to Nestles strawberry, both of which I enjoyed (a little too much, apparently) before I embarked on this path. I've been drinking both for about six months now, and still have not lost my taste for them.

I can't tolerate many of the powders but I do like the syntax nectar peach fuzzy navel flavor. I put in in my ninja with Water and ice or with milk and a few spoons of yogurt for more of a Creamsicle/orange Julius taste. I also can handle the premier Proteins. I like the vanilla since it seems to have less after taste and get them delivered through Amazon subscribe and save program for 15% off. If I'm in the mood for chocolate, I just do the carnation light start instant Breakfast in the blue box. Mix it in ninja with a few ice cubes and a dash of sugar free caramel Syrup. Makes me feel like I'm having a milk shake!

As far as overall taste, price and consistency premier has always been my favorite! The chocolate one never gets old!

Quest chocolate....with PB2 sometimes! It is great for shakes and you can bake with it as well. I make chocolate mini cakes with it. I have a band, but converting to sleeve after Christmas. 85 lbs down (was 100, but gained 15 with complications!) 90ish more to go!

Oh wow that does sound delicious and so interesting to that you can make it into other meals! Very cleaver!

Well my prayers go out to you! I know that's not fun. But you got this just keep chugging. My surgery is on the 20th!! One day away, wahoo! Thanks again for the advice!!

I'm quite content with the chocolate Optifast but I need to blitz it with cold Water and ice cubes. It doesn't taste too good with tap Water.< /p>

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yeah for me it's hard to have any of them taste good with just tap water so I hear ya there! Thanks for the advice and good luck on your journey!

If you're tired of the strawberry/vanilla/chocolate-y stuff, then I suggest trying a brand called BariWise. I've never seen it in stores, but it's available online.

They make fruit-flavored Protein shakes. I find them much more tolerable than drinking dessert-flavored-chalk-liquid all the time. Wild berry is the best flavor, IMO.

There's one from another company, Syntrax, called nectar Medical Unflavored. I like this to add to anything at all - zero flavor to it, so putting it to strained Soups or tea or anything I don't want to add flavor to is very convenient. I'm not sure if it's OK for the clear liquid portion of the diet. I've not used it for those days.

Keep in mind: (nearly) all Protein powders should be added to drinks below 130°F or they will denature and be nowhere near as nutritious.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
