Syntrax Nectar Cappucino, if you like the taste of iced coffee. I shake it up in a Blender Bottle and pour over ice. Also, if you're not used to Protein powders, none of them will really taste good initially. You need to find one you can tolerate and stick with it!!

I love the chocolate premiere Protein Shakes at costco and they have 30 whopping grams of Protein per serving. Cant go wrong. No powdery aftertaste either. Good Luck!!

I find Unjury chocolate splendor and vanilla are excellent.

Also About Time Protein is great.both are powders and you mix yourself.

I will go and get some premier tomorrow. I'm gonna try to find something I like before surgery. So far I have tried EAS at Sam's ...I really do not think I could drink them everyday.

I've tried so many before my surgery and after, untill I finally broke down and bought premier. For some reason I thought I would make the powders taste better by blending them on blender for a more shake consistency. I was wrong! I freeze premier shakes till just icy. Yum.

I'm doing the taste test thing, too. I know that my tastes may change post surgery, but at least I'll have a place to start! I can tolerate most of the better-known Protein Shakes, but I actually LIKE the Premier ready-to-drink shakes!

      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.

      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.
