I am still waiting for my surgery too, but I have been trying different ones to see which ones I like because I know I will be on a 6 week liquid diet (yum?).

I just go to the Vitamin store every week or so and try a few of the pre-mixed cans and plastic bottles they have. I am making a list of the ones I like and don't like. (I figure that the powders of the same brands will taste like the pre-mixed ones)

So far, I like Muscle Milk vanilla and Cake Batter; Oh Yeah banana and Cookies and Cream.

I just got a few bottles of Isopure which I can't wait to taste as they look more like a juice drink than the thick shakes.

Good luck on your Quest, both for Protein shakes and weightloss!

check out the thread, "samples samples samples" - there's a list of places you can call/email for small sample sizes to try out products. Some are free, some ask you to pay shipping, but well worth it.

Thanks - will definately have to check that out. My surgeon's office is big on 'their' Vitamin ... which I did not buy.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
