I am having my band done next Wed. My mom had this done about 2 years ago and said the shake she had to drink made her sick all the time. She could not stand the taste of any of them. What was your favorite?

Chocolate unjury.

Atkins advantage "chocolate delight" it is low carb, and not too sweet.

Everyone has different likes and dislikes. Why not go to a GNC or Vitamin shoppe and buy a few pre mixed ones and try them?

I drink Atkins shakes and my husband ( not banded) likes muscle milk.

i love Atkins Caramel Latte. if you get it really cold, it tastes like a Starbucks frapp.

I've tried all kinds and they all gave me serious gastric problems. So far the only one I can drink is All the Whey-for bariatric/lap band. It has no fat, no carbs, sweetened with Stevia, gluten free and lactose free. I love the strawberry shortcake and orange creamsicle!!!

I'm picky and whiney, and I hate all the Protein shakes.

So here's what I could tolerate.. The Slimfast chocolate shakes, very very cold.

And then a concoction I came up with, that worked for me since I had to do the shakes.

Expresso shake...

-Make ahead: Take an ice cube tray, make some extremely strong coffee or use expresso (I used expresso, the stronger the taste, the better..masks the protein ick), freeze the coffee in the ice cube trays ahead of time.

-3-5 ice cubes from above

- 1 scoop vanilla Protein powder (any brand, they're all equal IMO)

-1 packet of artificial sweetener -or however many you want (I actually prefer sweet-n-low in my coffee, so that is what I used)

Blend well till it makes a coffee smoothie.

I make a strawberry yogurt protein shake. 1 cup ff plain yogurt, 1 cup unsweetened frozen strawberries, 1 scoop unflavored whey protein powdered, 2-3 packets Equal, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Blend in a blender until smooth. Add a few extra frozen strawberries if you want to eat it with a spoon. I put it in large insulated cup and it stays cold until it's gone.

For a quick, at any store shakes, I like Ensure (or the generic form of it) in strawberry. In 8 ox it delivers 13g of Protein. The calories are high but if you are like me and still in full liquid stage, 350 cals is not a huge setback.

I love seeing everyone's suggestions. The recipes are awesome. I may have to try tat Espresso one.

I hate them all but I think Equate taste the best

Lifeway lowfat Kefir has 174 calories and 14 grams of protein per cup. It's a drinkable yogurt and tastes very good. Most supermarkets carry it and it tastes very good.

I prefer the choc whey protein from Walmart, mixed with Dannon Fit and Lite strawberry/banana yogurt and a little skim milk. Tastes like a rich choclate smoothie. Add a few frozen strayberries if you want more flavor
