What is the best brand of Protein Shakes ? One without the aftertaste and no so super sweet. I'm scared. Failure is not an option. I feel like today I'm having my last meal . I'm going to the Cheesecake Factory. Helpppp!

I use EAS 100% whey powder (big purple container, I purchase it at Target). It is 26 grams of Protein. It was recommended by my deietitian. I like the chocolate.< /p>

Everyone has different tastes and preferences. It is not uncommon to have to try several different Protein shake options before discovering one which you can actually like and not just tolerate.

That said, GNC has a very liberal return policy for their products. So to me, purchasing from them is really no risk. I use their Wheybolic extreme powder, but only 1.5 scoops per shake, as I am not using it for body building.

The 1.5 scoop is 30 g of Protein. To vary the taste and add some protein I sometimes add some PB2, though that is likely not a good idea pre op without getting permission from your medical team.

Best wishes for a successful journey...

I use Bariactric Advantage Meal Replacement shakes(vanilla) and nectar (fuzzy navel) they are both really good with no after taste and not to sweet I can't stand stuff that's to sweet. I get them both online at BariactricAdvantage.com

Tastes definitely vary. I bought Ensure high Protein Shakes after someone said they liked them and I had to throw them all out--to me they had a metallic aftertaste. Yuck. I like the premixed Premier Protein shakes (30 grams protein) and the Jay Robb Protein powders, but I like it sweet so you may not like what I like... Good luck with the pre-op diet!

I have been drinking the EAS advantage plus chocolate and it is pretty good. I have no problem with the taste. It is the prepared drink. Comes in a four pack

How many calories are in this one? I found the GNC brand 100% Whey Protein is 130 calories and 24 grams of protein.

I've been using Unjury Protein Powder. They don't give you an aftertaste. I start my pre-op diet on July 4.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
