The only brand that I know about is Bariatric Advantage. I could use some help on purchasing the best tasting shakes for a reasonable price.

I've never had those, so can't help you out there. I used the Atkins RTD on my pre-op diet and they were really good. I also stumbled upon PureProtein Cookies & Cream RTD Protein - and they were delicious. I like(d) EAS vanilla and chocolate Protein powder mixed with frozen fruit and either soy milk, Water or fruit juice, or 1/2 water/1/2 juice. Since my surgery, I can't stand any of them - they are too sweet and too thick.

I am sure everyone will have an opinion and you'll be overwhelmed with suggestions -- start testing them out now so once you get your date, you'll have an idea of which ones you like best - get a variety is my suggestion.

Hope you get your surgery date soon! keep us posted.

What people like is just so variable. You just have to experiment. See the thread on how to get samples so you aren't buying tubs of the stuff and finding out you hate it.

Thank you for your suggestions, I am going to go to my doctor and buy some samples to try out before I buy the large order. I still have a little more time before I will find out if I get approved for the surgery and when to start on the two weeks of shakes, so I will go get them right away!!

At GNC they have a lot of different kinds of Protein powders. Some of them have individual serving packets that you can buy to try them out. Do that if at all possible because you may find that many brands taste so yucky that you would not want to spend lots of money on a big package only to throw it out. I tried the individual packs of Jay Robb Protein Powder, and like the chocolate flavor myself. I also add a few drops of banana extract and the flavor is very good to me. I mix it in lactaid milk because I am lactose intolerant.

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