Isopure is a very high quality Protein. If you like the tase of it then great. I personally can't stand the way my mouth feels after drinking it.

The reason it says not to use for weight reduction is because it has no Vitamin or mineral content. Many people will mistake it for a Meal Replacement shake. Although for our purposes we really don't want Meal Replacement shakes.

I have found I can only drink the Syntrax Nectar strawberry mousse flavor mixed with Water. Everything else is to heavy on the stomach.

What about the "yes whey" shots? They don't have collagen listed as an ingredient.

The "yes whey" from Bariatric Advantage are high quality whey Protein isolate. They are the only shot on the market that I am aware of that is made with quality Proteins. If you try them please let me know how they go down. Althought I can say the Protein is of good quality, I have no idea what they taste like.

There are a couple of huge lists of recipes in the food section under Protein drinks. There's a lot you can do with them to make them taste 100% better.

There's also a list of different brands and how they're rated. I've tried a lot over the last 5 years, and I have settled on Sytrax the same people who make nectar, but I like the Matrix better than the nectar. There's a bunch of flavors, and they are all good. I get it at vitacost.com

Hi everyone! 4 weeks post op. 20lbs down. I too had a problem with Protein. I hate the powder and anything strawberry flavor kills it. But I found these awesome shakes(thanks to another blogger) I buy mine at Sams club, shakes are chocolate flavor, the best flavor to me, and called premium Protein. They are like $20 a box of 12 and have 30g of protein 1g carb and I think 160 calories. I also found a wafer Peanut Butter flavor (they have other flavors) bar from Power Crunch particularly low in carbs 5g and 13g in protein, those bars I found at Walmart or Publix.

I am allowed to pretty much eat anything, which is good for my food addiction, however my stomach tolerates a bite or two. So I mainly stick to two or three shakes a day and a bar along with my fluids. So far I am happy with this. I am no longer restricted to food so the temptation is not there( tempation is well only there sometimes.). If I do eat I find I get comfort and satisfaction from anything that's a protein. carbs are way to uncomfortable for me even if it's a vegetable. Good luck and I hope this helps:)

Be very careful! Those Power Crunch bars are addicting, they are so good!!! They sent me on a week long carb crave that was painful to crawl out of. :-).

I also like the Premium Protein shake. But at 3 months out i am starting to realize that they don't fill me up as long anymore. So i'm switching to making my own. The best advice i got on here is to add 1tbspn SF pudding powder to a shake. I use the white choc and add a 1/4 cup frozen blueberries. Delicious!!

I am doing the fruit punch ones. Because I'm only 11 days out and having a hard time getting 60g protein in still. They are sour, which to me is a nice change to the sweetness if the shakes I am drinking, so I don't mind them. I tried the New Whey ones pre op before I found out they are worthless. The yes whey ones taste a lot better to me.

I like the chike it's the only one I can tolerate. It's has a lot of carbs I guess in comparison to others but if I drink 2 a day and then straight Protein for dinner will that work? I'm 1 month post op

There is nothing wrong with Chike. it's good. the orange cream is really good. It's spendy though.

I like Matrix Orange cream just as well, for 2 carbs. It's around $45 for 5 lbs. It's a good deal.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
