Looking for favorites.... currently I'm waiting for insurance approval and surgery date. But during this time I'm trying to figure out what protein shakes I enjoy. Give me your favs!! Any help is appreciated

Premier protein shakes... chocolate and vanilla are my favs!

Bodiez protein water. There’s two kinds though, one is 30g protein per bottle and the other is 15g. I always go the 30g one.

Many experience problems drinking protein shakes. I hated them. But in the beginning I drank them, three 16-ounce protein shakes a day, in order to meet my protein requirements. You do not have to like protein shakes only tolerate them. There are many formulations of protein shakes available today. Experiment until you can find one you can tolerate.

I used Muscle Milk Light (Vanilla Creme) powder blended with water and a half a banana. That worked for me. But on the opposite end of the spectrum, you might try premixed Isopure.

Remember your taste buds may change dramatically after surgery. So be prepared to experiment with protein shakes after surgery until you find the right one that fits.

Premier Protein Chocolate.

so far premier protein is my fav, but i am only 4 days post op. I heard though. Do not stock up pre op because your taste buds may change after surgery. I did try cookies and cream last night and i am not a fan of it, but it is tolerable for now. I do however, think i will let that flavor fall to the wayside once i am out of it.

Cookies and cream was VERY strong to me. I ended up giving it away!

I like Premier Protein Chocolate the best and I have tried MANY different ones. My only problem has been they are sometimes hard to find in the stores, so now I order them from Amazon.

I just started full liquid yesterday. Day two and i have 4 different flavors.. well 5.. but the 5th one (caramel) i bought reserved to use as creamer. I have peaches n cream, cookies n cream, chocolate and bananas n cream. I dont think i bought the strawberry but not sure. Then when i am done with these i have 3 cases of protein2o and i also have genepro( 90 day supply). I think i am set on additional protein for awhile-considering the daily supplement after the initial liquid stage is only 30 per day LOLOL.

I've seen these mentioned before. Is this bulk powder, or grab and go premixed?

Protein shakes proved very difficult for me. My doctors didn't really know what to recommend because I did not tolerate the whey protein shakes and the majority of veggie or soy based protein powders didn't meet their protein or caloric standards. I ended up blending plain greek yogurt into soup broth. It was terrible.

It wasn't until about 7 months post op my friend bought me a container of Vega chocolate. LIFE CHANGER. It tastes great, blends well (I use half a banana, a full scoop of powder, a cup of almond milk, and a dash of cocoa powder) and fills me up. Really wish I had known about it during my liquids phase, I would've had a much easier go of things.

I was just approved yesterday. But I did the same thing. I bought a few brands and tried them. Premier Protein and Muscle Milk I like the best. I get choc and vanilla. The vanilla ones I put orange extract in them and they taste like crèamsicles..I use different types of extracts.. I also like Whey protein shots, they are 42 grams a shot and taste like punch

I started my pro-op liquid diet today. I have been drinking the Atkins Milk Chocolate Delight drink. 15g protein, 5 carbs (2 net carbs) 1g sugar. It's pretty tasty. I bought some Whey Protein Isolate powder on Amazon, but I haven't gotten it yet.

I drink premier protein chocolate shakes. I also drink premier protein clear protein fruit punch drinks.

I also drink Protein 2O water which is like a vitamin or coconut water infused with protein. They are delicious.

I also use unflavored isopure in my decaf coffee in the morning. I pound 190+ grams of protein a day and with a small stomach and the inability to eat a ton of food, I have to drink about 80 grams of protein a day. So I drink a lot it this stuff every single day.

My wife loves the peach premier protein but I hate every flavor outside of chocolate. So I’d try a few flavors. For my money premier is the best though. Legit protein claims and a good taste. I tried about every protein shake on the planet before settling in premier.

Premiere Protein Strawberry is my favorite. To me it tastes like Strawberry Quick, which I loved as a kid. Second is banana, then chocolate. My wife's favorite is Peaches and Cream and I can't stand the Caramel.
