Premier shakes are popular, but I never liked them - I can taste the Protein in them. Everyone's tastes are different, so you're likely to get a lot of different answers, but my favorite brands are Unjury (available only on Unjury's Web site) and Syntrax (available at lots of places - both stores and online - including Bariatric Pal's store). Get single packets if you can in case you don't like them - it'd be awful being stuck with some $30 (or more) tub of something that you hate.

If you want something besides shakes I have been doing Unjury chicken Soup 8 oz is 21 gms of Protein. You have to get it from their website. It is a nice alternative to always doing shakes. (drinking one now)

I have zero carb Isopure vanilla whey Protein powder. I also bought some powdered Peanut Butter (PBFit). I mix one scoop of Isopure vanilla and 2 tablespoons of the PBFit along with 8 oz of cold Water. Tastes just like a peanut butter shake. 31g protein, 2g carbs, 2g fat for the shake.

Jasmine1129 I am on the preop liquid diet to. I like the Atkins Protein plus shakes (chocolate). They taste good. I didn’t like the after taste of the premiere protein. The Atkins protein plus has 30g of protein, 1g of sugar, 2 g carbs and 7g of Fiber.

I like Core Power by Fair Life. They have a better consistency and aren't quite as cloyingly sweet as some of the others.

I started and still drink to this day since last September is anything from Body Fortress using unsweetened almond milk as the base. I liked Isopure, but its too expensive. I did find Xtend chocolate Lava to be great and cheap as well. Hope this helps.

Good morning all! I am starting the liver shrink diet today. I bought Premier Protein shakes but I am having a hard time getting them down due to the taste. Does anyone have a recommendation for shakes or Protein Powder that is not so "chalky" tasting? Thanks in advance!
I am on my Pre-op diet, and the Premier Protein powder mixed with unsweetened almond milk is delicious!! It is a bit thick, but smooth. I bought the chocolate and vanilla flavors on sale at Walgreens.

And I must speak up for my strawberry Ensure High Protein, to me it tastes exactly like Starwberry Quik. A little pricey but. Roy my dietician gave me coupons for $3 off on one, last week there was a $5 off on 2 and you also can download them off of their app/website. I don't taste that fakey evaporated milk taste so many seem to have. And they also have a clear form, both fruit punch and blueberry- pomegranate flavors. A little lower protein content. but still within tolerable levels. And it is Ohio-made!👍😛

I dont know where you are but when I was deciding on a Protein powder I headed to Vitamin Shoppe and they had sample packs you can buy and sample they give for free. Helped me alot, I choose not only a brand but also flavors.

      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!!
