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?

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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
