I like Premier Protien. I am 1 1/2 years into my journey and I still drink 1 or 2 a day. I have in my fridge now chocolate, Cookies and cream, Cafe latte, pumpkin pie, birthday cake, winter mint chocolate, and caramel. Since i keep a variety, i don't get tired of them. Makes it nice when you are busy and you can just grab one and go.

I've very much liked the Syntrax brand, especially the nectar Naturals peach flavor. I don't like vanilla in any brand and I'm only so-so on chocolate, so I like trying unusual options. I recently purchased the 15 variety sampler so I can try a bunch, plus have single-serve packets available to throw in my purse when I'm out and about. I especially like the fruit flavors right now. I keep trying to find a Soup that I like, but I think I'll end up doing unflavored Protein in broth because most of the powdered ones have been underwhelming. Of course, who knows what I will like afterward.

I'm like Vicky, I began using Premier Protein drinks before surgery and have stuck with them after surgery. I like Isopure and G-Zero Protein powders for a change up in my Water.

I tried the fairlife strawberry banana & it taste like medicine. I’m familiar with Premier Protein but never seen any other flavors besides vanilla & chocolate at BJ’s … where did you buy the other flavors??

I get mine at Sams

You can get other Premier Protein flavors at places like Target!!

If I want a ready to drink Protein I go with Premier Protein purely for convenience and the fact I can keep a variety in my fridge. I usually try to find it at Target until I've vetted a flavor, then I stalk Amazon and Walmart for sales. Fairlife's chocolate shake is fine but sometimes sends me to the bathroom for reasons I don't understand.

If I'm at home and doing a mix I like the Syntrax Fuzzy Navel and their tropical flavor. You can get samples of different flavors through BariatricPal's shop. I also like the Mike & Ike Sour Watermelon from MyProtein. You can often get it on a good sale! I don't like the cherry though for some odd reason. I like the Pro-Cal shakes but only mixed with milk. Otherwise I just use unflavored protein (GenePro and no I don't count it as 33grams like it says it is equivalent to, I only count it as the 11 grams on the nutrition label!!).

I hated Unjury and sadly everyone else recommended it so much I bought full size containers of the Soups untasted and now post op I am kicking myself because I can't stomach any of it. LOL If you can have caffeine Chike is pretty good mixed with milk too! You can get samples of those from BariatricPal as well. SAMPLES ARE YOUR FRIEND!!
