thank you very much I will look into them:thumbup:

I like Atkins Advantage that are premade.

I HATE powdered shakes... ick, ew, gross! :tongue2: But Atkins actually tastes good to me. Sometimes for cost I do Slim Fast Optima, but they have a weird aftertaste to me.

I like the chocolate and strawberry Unjury shakes.

I'm with MrsFlipFlops, I wasted a lot of money on the powders because I just can't handle the taste. I prefer the pre-mixed shakes, they are convenient and taste pretty good. Atkins shakes are a good choice for both flavor and protein content with low carbs (vanilla and chocolate delight are my favorites).

slimfast but walmart brand

hmmmm .. my doctor said no slimfast! was told i need 80 grams of Protein a day and to look for something with 35grams per servng of protein:confused2:

I buy Muscle Milk Lite. It comes in several flavors. You can get powder or ready made, both are pretty good. I prefer the powder so I can add stuff if I want. So far I've found it at The Vitamin Shoppe, GNC, Target, and Albertson's. I haven't tried the Unjury, so Muscle Milk is the best tasting one I've tried so far. I don't have to choke it down and it doesn't make me gag! :tongue2:

I think you will find this differs from person to person. I think you're just gonna have to try a few and see what tastes good to you. Personally, I like a ready to go shake like Carnation Instant Breakfast or Slim Fast. But I do add a little of the unflavored unjury to both of those to up the protein a bit. I have a friend who had the LB done a year ago and she let me sample a few of her mixes so I wouldn't have to buy a large quanity and find I didnt like one. Check with your nutritionist. They may have some samples in the office to help you decide.

Try GNC. If you can go to the store there is one that my hubby uses. It's called Whey protein. I think Optiumum Whey protein. It comes in different flavors. Also there is Syntha-6. It also comes in yummy flavors. Try Cookies n Cream or Milk Chocolate. YUM!

I have tried powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and they are quite good. Come in Choc/Van/Straw and chicken Soup (kind of like broth) as well as unflavored. Unjury.com.

For ready to drink, I started with Atkins, but that only has 9 or 15g Protein (I forget which) plus Vitamins that you will likely be taking in a supplement anyway. My sister found Worldwide Protein shakes at Trader Joe's. A little pricey, but cheaper that at GNC who also carries them. At Trader Joe you can get choc or vanilla in 21g or 35g protein, maybe 2 carbs, 1 fat (0.5 sat fat) and 1 sugar. The vanilla 35, which I drank this morning is 160 cal, and I think the chocolate maybe 170. No added vitamins, and to me tastes better than Atkins. Here in Maryland they are $1.69 each for the 21's, and $2.29 for the 35's. GNC only carries the 35's but they are $2.99 each there. There are 3 other flavors, banana cream, Cookies 'n cream, and strawberry, but the only place I have found them is GNC online and Vitamin Shoppe online. GNC to get a discount you need to buy a gold card, and free shipping is on orders of $75 or more. I think Vitamin Shoppe you need $99 or more for free shipping. Haven't been in the VS store to see if they carry them in the store, but GNC only has vanilla and chocolate. I like them much better than Atkins and you get more protein for roughly the same price. Atkins may be a tad cheaper.

With the powder drinks, sometimes a packet of Splenda helps. I use EAS Advantage, Pemalean, and I have a strawberry sold at the gym my sister goes to that I haven't tried yet.

I hope you aren't sorry you asked, but that this info helps. In case your dietician hasn't heard of Worldwide (they are promoted as a sports drink mostly, even says not for weight loss on can) I found a link here once to Brigham Women's Hospital bariatric program, and Worldwide is listed there as an approved Protein shake.

Mine said no Slim Fast too (nothing that says "Meal Replacement" on the container) because they are higher in carbs. Atkins and EAS are allowed, I tried EAS and didn't like it.

I have tried unjury and they are quite good. Come in Choc/Van/Straw and chicken Soup (kind of like broth) as well as unflavored. Unjury.com.

they did tell me about worldwide ,I think i will buy a few from Trader Joes and see how i like them :tongue2:

The good thing about Unjury and GNC, and I am sure several other places, is that they have a no questions asked return policy. If you purchase protein powders, shakes, drinks from them and find you don't like them, take/send them back (with receipt, GNC is 30 days), and you will get a full refund.

Wonderslim from dietdirect..... Yummy!! No protein aftertaste.... The only one I am not fond of is vanilla.... Favs are Mocha Chocolate chocolate mint strawberry
