I would like to know what brands of liquid shakes people are using that they like. I had an Atkins today and I thought I would throw it up. It was terrible. There is no way I could drink 5 of them a day for 2 weeks. Thank you for any suggestions.

I think the unjury shakes are really good. You have to buy them online at unjury.com They also have chicken broth.

My surgeon only uses the medifast shakes that you get online. I ordered the ready to drink (RTD) chocolate ones and love them... still order them.

I order PVL brand:smile2: from Netrition.com - The Internet's Premier Nutrition Superstore! and get the smooth peanut butter chocolate and mint chocolate chip. They are wonderful!

When I attended the seminar they were giving out samples of VHT by extreme smoothie-the strawberry and chocolate were awesome!! I haven't been banded yet but I plan to use those after I am banded.

I have tried a ton of them and always fall back to the SlimFast shakes. BUT, I put the entire can in the blender (Magic Bullet), add 3-4 cubes of ice and either a tad of the Hazelnut sugar free syrup or All Natural Peanut Butter. Makes them have a totally different consistency and spices up the flavor.

I tried a bunch too. I am a Costco nut so I got their EAS Bag, Vanilla Powder. Not bad, especially if you mix fruit in it. But for convenience I got the Muscle Milk Light, also at Costco. I didn't think I would like the chocolate milk, but I do! It's great to take to work too. My doctor approved both. Slim Fast, I was told was high in sugar and carbs. I was told to look for at least 15 grams of Protein, 0 carbs and 0 sugar if possible. I only wish they would let you sample them at the stores before committing to such a large bag or container. Trader Joes has some good ones too. Good Luck!

I have tried so many kinds but keep returning to the one listed above. Had to consume 4 to 6 of those for two weeks preop. Mix in blender with 1 cup skim milk or 1% milk with 4 ice cubes. Add 1 tsp of vanilla to the vanilla. Like the chocolate and vanilla but don't really like the strawberry. It's hard finding one that you like and drink daily.

wishing you the best.

Hi Health Ultimate Meal, vanilla bean flavor. 23g protein, 6 g carbs. I mix it with ice and fruit, or blueberries, or even leftover coffee and splenda for a frappucino type drink.

The ones at Trader Joes mentioned above are called Worldwide Pure Protein Shakes. Come in 21g protein and 35g. Website promotes as sports drink, and can says not for weight loss, but Brigham Womens Hospital has it on their approved list of protein drinks. It is 160-170 cal, little to no fat, 2g fiber, 1 sugar. Doesn't have a lot of vitamins like Atkins, but my dietician has me taking a multi, B-12 sublingual, and calcium, so I don't worry about it. It has 70% of calcium and 2% iron, that is about it. I think it tastes better than Atkins, plus has more protein. If you don't have a Trader Joe's nearby go to Worldwide Sport Nutrition for store locator. Just remember they promote it as a workout drink only.

I use Unjury. The chocolate tastes like chocolate milk and the strawberry is very good if you mix it with lemonade (I put one scoop of strawberry unjury and 1 pkg of crystal light lemonade and add 16 ounces of water). The chocolate is really good if you add a splash of coconut sugar free syrup.
