I have been using the Elite whey isolate Protein shakes. Both the vanilla and the Mocha. And also the Unjury chicken Soup flavor and the Unjury Unflavored which I put in sugar free pudding and Jello.< /p>

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Hope to see you on the losers bench really soon. :biggrin:

Congrats on your upcoming date! If you have any questions post-op, just ask. In the meantime, buy yourself some Gax-X strips (read the directions), some liquid Tylenol, get a pillow to hold over tummy when coughing/sneezing for a few days and stock up on what the doctor says you can have. I use Matrix Protein Powder (Vanilla) but you can use Carnation Instant Breakfast, Atkins Advantage, and some others that have been mentioned. Good luck and let us hear from you.

Good luck finding one that you like. This thread appears regularly as many people have trouble finding one that they can tolerate. I tried bunches, bunches I tell you, and I ended up with EAS Advantage shakes. I can also tolerate Muscle Milk Light. Both can be found at Walmart. However, everyone's tastes are different, and you'll have to find your way, too. Good luck!

I have Pure Protein Vanilla and chocolate from Target and they are pretty good. They come in a huge vat, though. I also have the single serving Muscle Milk lighht. The MM have a very sweet, artificial taste that I don't like much but are very convenient for when you're on the go.

I was banded on Nov 24th last yr!! How time flies! Best of luck to you. You won't regret it and will be nice and thin next yr. I didn't care much for any of the Protein Drinks, but found the muscle milk powder most palatable for me. I used the chocolate and often added Peanut Butter which made it taste much better!! I drink the ready made muscle milk lite now. If you can find free samples of any kinds on line, take advantage of it because everyone's taste is different and I know I wasted lots of money on kinds I hated. Definitely buy small amts until you have tried different recommended brands. Read the nutritional labels. costco was carrying a great tasting Protein shot, fruit flavored. I didn't see it today, but hope they keep having it.

I really like the Matrix 5 Protein powder. I put the vanilla powder in the blender with a banana and a handful of ice cubes and it tastes wonderful.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
