riss523 26 Posted May 14, 2013 I like the vanilla pure Protein. Or if you like juice try Proti Diet shakes. They have all different flavors. Pink lemonade and kiwi strawberry are a couple of my faves! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2Big2Skate 328 Posted May 14, 2013 I usually do EAS carb control since theyre thin, not clumpy or chalky. They go down easy and have decent flavor. I think Abbot makes them now, the same people that do pediasure and ensure. So they know how to make shakes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonRodolfo 1,416 Posted May 14, 2013 Where can I get those??? I got two bags of chocolate from my doctor but yuk!!! I wanna stick to this and not cheat... I'm staying commited but gotta get something that works... thanks!!! My surgery is on the 28th as well and I'm on day 2 of my 2-week preop diet. My surgeon gave me two bags of Bariatric Advantage shakes to live on, I picked chocolate and iced latte. I was told I could blend them with fruit or mix them with milk but not both. I've found with almost every brand of Protein shake that mixing with milk (even no-fat or skim) is better than Water. Good luck to you! 1 wannabeskinnyme reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a store by my house you can order online from them if there's not a physical store near you. The pure Protein I get from Walmart.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did they give you a reason? I don't do powders at all and never do anything put the Premier brand of RTDs. IMO Bariatric Advantage isn't one of the better brands, so you might want to think about switching to nectar or really any other one. Go to GNC or Vitamin Shoppe and see if they have samples. You can also get unflavored Protein from unjury (Google it). Isopure comes in bottles and has flavors other than chocolate and vanilla and can be mixed with Powerade zero. In the mean time, when making your shake, put the powder in the cup, put about 1/4 the liquid in it and stir really hard to make a paste. Then add the rest of your liquid. You can also try adding some dry milk powder to it as well. What ever you do don't stop trying. / Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.......... 129 Posted May 14, 2013 Glad to see some one likes the EAS carb control, that was my next pick to purchase, right now I use banana creme flavor (Light) Muscle milk powder, I also put it in a blender, use varried amounts mostly just one scoop at a time, I add Da Vincii sugar free banana flavor Syrup, plus some other things like cacao nibs and chopped walnuts, I like it that way but the syrup and scoop of powder would be good as well. I've tried mixing flavor into chocoalate drinks and thats worked out cool too, also adding a half banana from time to time or a few blueberries, plus greens too or simliar of powders form mixes.
