Sorry if this has been asked a zillion and one times... I'm so nervous about drinking the Protein Shakes. shakes in general (unless legit milk shakes from restaurants) make me gag. I am pre-surgery and would like to start trying shakes now so that I can find one or two brands and flavors that I can tolerate or might actually like.

Anyone have any suggestions of brands?

I second Premier Protein. 30 grams of Protein and doesn't taste bad at all. When I get tired of the flavors offered (chocolate, vanilla, etc) I just mix the vanilla in a blender with frozen mango, frozen blueberries, etc to create my own new flavor.

Low fat Muscle Milk is okay , but I actually like the banana cream by Premier the best.

Premier Protein Shakes are the best so far and advanced body fortress powder from Wal-Mart is also pretty good and have 30 grams of Protein and body fortress powder has 60 protein. Pre op I am told we need to drink Atkins shakes because we need to drink 60 grams of protein so we need to drink five shakes a day of 15 grams of protein 5 times a day plus 60 ounces of Water.< br>

If you don't like "shakes" try the Syntrax Nectar. I bought the variety pack to try them all. Flavors like lemonade, iced tea, fuzzy navel. They aren't creamy, more like a regular beverage. I mix them with ice and Water, they are 100 calories, sugar free and 23g Protein. I'm pre op and just giving them a try to see what I like, and so far, so good. [emoji1303]

I was drinking the lean shake from GNC for a long time over a year but now I'm in bulking up mode at the gym and I cant drink the thick milky stuff for working out I found a Water based Protein taste like kool aide no sugar added 20 grams of protein its called isolate ZERO pina colada is the bomb so give that a shot if you don't like the thick milky stuff

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
