Muscle Milk Lite (it's chocolate flavored) is really good...in fact, I don't like chocolate flavored drinks, but I'll drink that one.

If you are talking about Protein Drinks, I highly recommend the Premiers that you can get at costco. Really good.

EAS makes a Rich Dark chocolate in 11 oz. servings with 17 gms of Protein that are my favorite. Very tasty. I'm not fond of the vanilla ones, tho. I buy them in 4-packs at Kroger's for around $11.50. They make me feel like I've had a full meal and for less than $3.00 each. I'm lucky if I can drink 2 a day with lite snack-meals in between. I also like Atkins Advantage - 11 oz w/15 gms protein each. Also sold in 4-packs.

The premixed drinks seem to be higher in carbs. Would a Blender Bottle work for you?

Syntrax, unjury and Isopure are zero carbs.

I'll take 6 carbs in exchange for not making me vomit any and every day, thanks. I live on the Premier Protein chocolate shakes. Just picked up 8 cases at Costo last weekend.

      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.
