I was banded on 6/17 and as you all know, I had to start the Protein Shakes the next day. So far, I have tried 2: Target brand and Jay Robb. The Jay Robb was better than the Target brand but still gross. Can anyone recommend a great tasting Protein Shake. Also some really good recipes. Thanks for your advice in advance!

If u have a costco I highly recommend the ready to drink Premier Protein in chocolate. They are 11oz and have 30 grams of Protein and only 160 cals and 2 grams of sugar. I have one everyday for Breakfast. That is the best gram for the lowest cals I have ever found.

I like the "oh yeah" brand Cookies and cream. They have 220 calories and 32 grams of Protein, and they are really good.

Also at costco, they have a powder made by Muscle Milk called Protein X. I make the Vanilla one, and then mix in like an ounce of a RTD Premier chocolate. I have also tried the Cookies and Cream Can from Fresh and Easy. That was my favorite RTD so far. The premier from Costco are very good but leave me with an aftertaste. ;)

I love GNC Total Lean(RTD) swiss chocolate flavor. It has 170 calories an 25g of Protein. I’ve also had the vanilla bean flavor and thats good as well, just tastes a little too sweet in my opinion.

I agree that GNC Total Lean Swiss Choc. is great tasting! Not thick, like some shakes and not that horrible after taste either! You can try 1 to see if you like it before purchasing more-some GNCs even have a fridge with a cold one in them! You can bend it with ice and a half of a banana for extra Protein (althought it has 25 grams of Protein already (plus 23 vitamins). When I blend it with ice I put a dollop of cool whip on top to make it like a shake!

I have found carnation instant breakfast packs great in the blender with skim milk and ice - if you wantto up your protein and a half scoop of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powder.

I think the GNC brand tastes like the best and I am not one to mess with powders-I want something I can just grab in the mornings and go.

4everFit makes great tasting fruit flavored ones u can get samples from their website. Also love Unjury chocolate splendor. Walmart sells Body Fortress whey Protein, chocolate peanutbutter is good as well as the plain chocolate. It has 52 grams of protein. My doc says just use one scoop cutting it down to 26 grams. The syntax nectar have all been good. Hope this helps.

I also like the EAS ready to go ones.

I also bought some Jillian Michaels french vanilla creme (something like that) powder Protein at Walmart and mixed it with ice and a few marachino cherries and some of the juice with a bit of chocolate Syrup (sugar free) . Used the blender. It was like a shake. It was fabulous. I'm all about chocolate, so I got vanila so I could sometimes add chocolate, or other flavors to mix it up.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
