I like the Isopure Zero Carb. I mix 1 scoop with 8oz of Water and 1 packet of stevia. It's thinner than pre-made shakes, which i prefer, and it's not as sweet.

I have been using the Premier for post op. Two more days LOL.. Then i am on to Puree and i have GENEPRO to mix in with food when the time comes, i think for now my doctors orders are one Protein Shake a day during the puree stage.

My picks:

Expensive: Isopure powder in Dutch chocolate (sooooo good)

Mid range: Premier premade shakes caramel in coffee, peaches & cream in green tea (OMG sooo good)

Relatively Inexpensive: EAS carb control in rich chocolate, Premier powder in french vanilla and Cabot unflavored whey Protein Powder both used for cooking

Safe Journey!

Well my local Wal-Mart in their infinite stupidity deleted every flavor of Premier Protein but vanilla and Chocolate, I am rapidly getting tired of vanilla anything, especially Protein Shakes, and I have been allergic to chocolate and it's whole family of associated things like cocoa and cocoa butter and have been for 43 years since I was carrying baby # 2. Yeah maybe I could order the other flavors shipped in, but when you want it, you want it. Loved both caramel and peaches and cream, funny they had them with impunity until the fabled lawsuit and I suspect they sussed out. Nearest Sam's Club 23 miles away, no costco, never had an Amazon account,of any kind.
I have never tried EAS, maybe try to find it. Next endoscopy scheduled 8 AM. Wednesday November 28th if I can find transport that early. Bummer when you don't have a car or drive anymore.

And I checked out Krogers, all they have are individual bottles chilled for $2.50. Not any choice more than W-M, really broke my ❤and they remodeled so a bunch of solid aisles front to back, maybe so you get frustrated and leave?

Amazon - pure Protein frosty chocolate shake yum! Also their protein powder mixed with skim milk in blender. Awesome and filling! They also have Peanut Butter flavor and I mix it half peanut butter half chocolate shake in blender and ice cubes. AWESOME!

On Amazon

New Whey Liquid Protein. They are fruit flavored.

They are vials of liquid Protein (I add them to 24 oz of water) and each vial is:

Calories 180, Fat 0, Carbs 2, Sugar 0, Protein 42

My surgeons office told me about these and I really like them.

They have multi-flavor packs.

      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!!
