Can anyone tell me what brand/flavor of Protein Shake is their favorite? I have tried several and they all seem to have about the same nutritional values. Just looking for suggestions.

For me only one that I liked and several were tried by me, costco Premier Protein chocolate shake, ready to drink. 18 each for $23.99 at Costco. Sometimes they do a $5 off a case for a max of 4 cases ($20 saving)

I like unjury. I also like Chike but it is not bariatric specific.

Our nurse practitioner suggest using the Protein specifically for bariatric patients.

I get the Premier Protein shakes at Sam's Club. I am guessing it might be the same as the ones they sell at costco. I paid $50 for the chocolate mint shakes they sell at Complete Nutrition and I don't like them at all!!! The premier Protein are my favorite by far and are ready to drink. Also, the true results powder was really good. probably the best Protein Shake i've tried so far. but its $30 for 15 shakes so it's also the most expensive

I found pure Protein Shakes at Walmart. 23g of Protein and 1g of sugar. Best when served cold.

I like the Adkins Advantage pre-made chocolate shakes. They're good and not too badly priced and you can find them everywhere. I've been looking at GNC, but their shake mixes are so high priced that I think I'll just stick to what I can find at Wal-Mart or the grocery store!

I like Isopure Dutch chocolate Low Carb, no digestive issues and best price is at VitaminShoppe.com. It seems a little expensive at $44.00, but I only use 1 scoop versus the serving size of 2, your body can only absorb like 30 or 35 grams at a time anyway and 2 scoops is 50 grams. But I do add stevia to make it a bit sweeter.

I get mine from BariatricChoice.com. They offer a lot of Protein foods. This is the same Protein supplements sold by a local weight loss center.

I really like their wildberry drink mixes.

good luck.

you can order samples of several brands from www.mybariatricpantry.com My personal favorite is the Syntrax Matrix line :-) The "oh yeah" Protein, ready to drink...was utterly disgusting though!

      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.
