​I buy only chocolate. I add a little Decaf instant coffee, some peppermint extract and ton of ice. I also use 8oz of skim milk. I love them and have been having for Breakfast for over 1 year. I use a Hamilton Beach small blender that is also the drinking cup. Sometimes it takes a few brands before you find the one. I buy Body Fortress. They sell it at Walmart, in the states.

Good luck with everything.

Check on Bariacric Advantage Meal Replacement shakes. My dr. recommended them as his first choice. Maybe they would work for you. They have 27 grams of Protein. You can find them at Bariactric Advantage.com. Good luck

I am a couple months away from my banding but decided I should start tasting different Protein Drinks and the one and only one I have tried so far is Pure Protein frosty chocolate from Walmart and its pretty tasty! I just mix it with Water. The only issue I have is trying to get it all devolved and mixed

Try to UNflavored Unjury and add it to the Dole Shakers (only one I can tolerate)

I would check with your nutritionist and see what they recommend. Mine gave me certain parameters that I had to follow.

<200 calories

< 15 gms carbs

<5 gms sugars

>15 gms Protein

If they can give you some recommendations of content it would open up some possiblities. Everyone has different tastes and it takes some experimenting to find what's going to work for you. I would wonder if he only wants a certain brand if he's getting a kickback from that company.

Good luck.

I am on day 3 of pre-op diet.. shakes and liquids. I have tried MANY different shakes and i am just NOT a fan.. They either taste like you chewed up a Vitamin (shakeology) and cost a ton (shakeology) or they are really sweet. I like the Isopure clear Protein drinks the best. They taste similar to gatorade just not as sweet.

40g protein

160 cal

0g fat

0g carb

cant get much better than that! :) I get mine at GNC :)

I just started my pre op diet (even though dr. didn't say to) and I was very happy with click expresso. Not bad at all. Tomorrow I'll try the Unjury chocolate sample and let you know.

I've used shakeology in the past (not during my lapband process). I had to doctor it up a lot to tolerate it and it's pretty expensive. It didn't meet the requirements my nutritionist gave to me.

Another flavored "water" Protein that I like, that someone here turned me to, is New whey, comes in grape, watermelon, and fruit punch. It has 42 gm Protein per 4 ounces. It's very thick and kind of strong, so I dilute 2 oz in 20 oz of Water and it's really good. Something different from the shakes.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
