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.

      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.
