Which Protein shake mix have you tried? Which is best? Add Water? Add milk? Choc? vanilla? Brand?

I've only tried the bottled Isopure. It's nasty but do able. I tried it in powder form and I couldn't take the smell. Im thinking about trying the Bariatric Advantage but wanted to hear opinons first before spending 50 bucks on it if not more.

Hi! I like the EAS Protein Powder in both chocolate and vanilla, and I always use 1% or skim milk. Also a little trick that I use to make it even better and more like a 'real' shake is to put in a little bit of whatever flavor you feel like of sugar-free Jello pudding straight from the box. YUMMY!! Also any sugar-free syrups or flavorings work too.

The Bariatric Advantage ones are good and don't need any additions to them. They are very thick and filling. Use milk also. I like all the flavors except for the Iced Latte. I'm not a coffee drinker, so that's probably why. That is what my Doctors office sold and recommended.

Hope that helps. Good Luck with everything!!

I used vanilla Bariatric Advantage because you can change it up just by adding flavoring. sugar free pudding butterscotch, chocolate, pistachio or jellos

If you buy the Protein already flavored you are limited

Yes, but not the whole box at once for one shake! If you are using the small box, just use 1/3 of it. If its the big box 1/4 of it. The more pudding, the thicker it gets!

      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.
