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!

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!

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!

I get mine from nutmeg state nutrition. 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>

So basically I can use powder milk ice Water plus a fruit... I'm tryin to be very strict and not cheat but I feel like I'm drinking chalk... gotta find another way to like this.... 0_o

Every Dr does something different, but I haven't heard of one that won't recommend RTD shakes. 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.

They really didnt have a great reason.. she said the others are supplements and the Bariatric Advantage is meal replacement.... I'm def will keep trying... I don't think I'm a powder person...

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.
