I love BBQ Quest Protein chips! 21g of protein in a bag and it fills me right up. It also tastes pretty darn good!

HI, I like the Syntrax Nectar (they sell it in the store on this site). I got the sampler pack and it was fun to try different tastes - I mix it with a complimentary flavor* of yogurt and it is good! I tried the mix in water and it was not great tho.

*Ex: I mix the peach flavor with peach yogurt. caribbean cooler is good in any fruit flavor yogurt.

Hope this helps. :)

Atkins Lift Protein Drink . . . 20 g of Protein per bottle, counts as Water, not nearly as disgusting as Protein Shakes.

I still like eggs, thank goodness. A lot of stuff I've tried I'm not crazy about--canned chicken pureed and made into a salad was disgusting to me. I'm okay with the ricotta bake, but can't eat a lot of it. Like yogurt or cottage cheese.

Still early days here . . .

My favourite is ziploc bags shaped like freezie - add your own calorie free drink squirts (koolaide etc) and they are great pre op, post opp, give you Water and feel like a treat too!

Protien shake Cookies - (I hate shakes) add 1 egg white, 1/3 cup splenda and bake for 10 min, 350 degrees.

Premier Protein Caramel flavor (30gr of protein) is like drinking ice cream melted, also I notice when I do my chicken I put taco seasoning and bbq rub and it taste delish, a kind of spicy, love it.

I love the products Atkins makes. I could not stomach shakes for a couple months after surgery so I drink the Atkins Lift Protein Drinks. They were not bad tasting and the texture didn't make me gag.

Now that I'm further out shakes are in my diet again and I really like the Atkins ones and I think I tried them all! They have two different versions, 11 ounce ones with 15grams of Protein and now they carry 16oz Meal Replacement shakes with a higher protein count (I believe 25 grams).

I actually like all of the Atkins products. They are low carb, mostly low sugar and have really good flavors. They have treats/snacks, shakes and bars.

I am only almost 3 weeks post op sleeve. All I seem to enjoy are sugar free Popsicles. I pretty much don't like anything else. I find that I have two bites and then lose interest in eating. I am sure this will change as I get further along in my post op journey. But for now food sucks and eating is a chore. But I am sooo happy I am losing weight. That's all that matters. It's such a blessing as eating was very enjoyable for me before and I would keep eating even when full because I loved the taste of some foods. Now, it's soo different. Also helps that I only eat Protein and veggies but I am in soft foods phase.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
