I like the Isopure brand. It's tart but its like a sugar free Kool-aid. I sip on it for about 4 hours at work. I also like the strawberry and vanilla GNC brand.

Good luck on your new journey. I buy Body Fortress at Walmart, around $16-17. I only use chocolate. I use: 8oz skim milk, 2 scoops of the powder, a little Decaf instant coffee, a little peppermint extract and tons of ice and it is very thick and great. I have this every morning for Breakfast. I was banded last July and have started the shakes the March before to get me started on weight loss and it worked. Before the band I loss 28 pounds because I gave up high calorie breakfast foods.

I use a Hamilton Beach very small blender, under $20. which is also a drinking cup. I own 2 of them.

Any other questions-feel free to ask, everyone on this site is great with answers. My dietitian has me eating Cliff Protein Bars. They have 20g of Protein in each. I love the mint chocolate ones, then chocolate and then chocolate with Peanut Butter.< /span>

I like unjury. It is high in Protein, low in calories, and I like the taste. 28 grams of Protein and 180 calories when mixed with 8 oz skim milk. I buy it online and have it delivered to the house.

The other brands I've tried, that can be bought at Walmart or the grocery and higher in calories and lower in protein. I haven't cared for the taste...kind of gritty or chalky.

I like Bariactric Advantage Meal Replacement, vanilla flavor and Syntrax nectar, fuzzy navel flavor. They are both very good, not chalky and no after taste. You can find them on BariactricAdvantage.com. Make sure it is BariactricAdvantage.com and not Bariactricchoice.com for some reason the choice one pops up first when you search in google.

I just banded July 1st and have enjoyed the Premier Protein shakes. chocolate or Vanilla they are great and have 30g of Protein. I purchased them from costco at a case price of $27.00 for 18. Your date will be right around the corner. Stock up!

I found the chocolate Atkins to be the best so far.

GNC Total Lean Vanilla Bean or Chocolate- you can taste before your purchase. I buy the ready to drink bottles.< /p>

Thank you to everyone for your suggestions!

Not sure why, but tonight I started getting sooooo nervous. I guess that's normal...

Trying to be proactive and make sure I have everything I need, especially since the next few weeks will fly by.

Thanks again!

I'm August 9th and I'm also trying to find good shakes. I would love to try the premier shakes since they have so much Protein but can't find them around here. We don't have a costco anywhere in the state and I looked at Amazon and couldn't believe the cost!! Maybe Sam's club? Idk but I'll look into these others. I have heard great things about Unjury though.

costco Premier Protein shake ready to drink. Been on them for almost a year.
