nectar is my favorite. I use the chocolate powder, and it has absolutely NO Protein like taste or after taste. More like drinking chocolate milk.

The other one I like is the ready made Premier Protein shakes. I get them at costco on the west coast, but you can Google them & see where they're sold near you. Here are a couple of links to the two products:

I had a couple of samples of Unjury. They're a little more (don't know how else to explain) buttery tasting. Also pretty good :-)

I buy Body Fortress at Walmart for around $16.ish. I only drink chocolate. I use 8oz skim milk, 2 scoops of the Protein, a little Decaf instant coffee, some peppermint extract and lots of ice and I make a super thick shake. I have been drinking them for one year now. I was banded in July. This is my only Breakfast and I love them. Some companies send out sample packs. Bariatric Advantage gives out samples, they are very expensive but good. I use their vitamins and minerals, all chewables.< span style="font-size:14px;">

I add sf ff pudding mix to my shakes. I was able to do any except for pistachio. Ask your Dr. Also some people drink Isopure. You can look it up on line. You also can add PB2 which is like peanut flour to get a Peanut Butter taste. Good luck on your surgery!!

When choosing your brand of shake, it's important to look at the type of Protein that is in the shake. My surgeon did not have a brand preference, however he did specify that the shake had to be 100% whey isolate Protein, which is a considered a complete protein having all the necessary amino amino acids bariatric patients need.

I encourage you to try samples of several brands, and GNC has a liberal return policy if you do not like their brand.

I use the GNC Wheybolic Extreme in the chocolate flavor. It does not have any of the chemical aftertaste of some of the brands I tried. shakes will need to be a part of your nutrition for a significant amount of time. Find a product you like.

Best wishes for a successful journey...

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
