There is definitely a huge difference in shakes out there. My RN recommended a few that you can only find on-line: Unjury, Chike and Big Train. These are so much better than what I could find locally and I actually drank them! Also Jay Robb Tropical Dreamsicle (available at Vitamin Shoppe and GNC) is very good.

I was sleeved on May 15th. I have yet to be able to drink a Protein Shake. They make me sick and I was drinking them before the surgery just fine. My doc said that some people don't tolerate them well. I just focus on getting my Protein elsewhere. I am doing great and down 50 pounds. Hang in there and don't stress yourself out. That was actually an order from my doc Don't stress yourself out and listen to your body we are all different."

I have the same problem. Today my hubby bought me Isopure and I think I found something I can drink. It tastes like koolaid and it has 40 grams of Protein

I buy my Isopure at GNC (In store) or online on Amazon.com

I feel in love with the Atkins shakes, and I just add a scoop or two of the Bariactic Advantage Protein powders to increase the protein. Also a good option is to buy the chocolate or vanilla soy milks and add your Protein Powder to them directly. If you're going for pre-packaged shakes, that may be the issue. You can do a lot just mixing on your own and they have much better flavor.

I HATE protein! It makes me sick to my stomach, also! I found one shake that I can take, but it takes all day to try and get it down. It is Premier Protein, I got it at Sam's and it has 30 g. I am able to eat yogurt now. The best one so far is Dannon Light and fit GREEK. They have strawberry, blueberry, and vanilla. They have 80 cals. and 12g of Protein. I eat 3 a day right now to get my amount of protein. Much better then the shakes and powder.< /p>

unjury has been the best for me SO FAR!

The unflavored mix in Minute Maid 15-cal Cherry Limeade or the strawberry Sorbet mix in Water with Crystal Light Lemonade are my definite go to drinks.

I also use the chicken Soup flavor when I need a quick meal

If you can add unsweetened coconut and/or almond milk it really can help sometimes. I would mix half Water and half of an unsweetened non-dairy milk & it would help me get through the Pure Protein tub (that I couldn't bring myself to just toss out).

I haven't tried it, but I've heard the nectar brand is pretty easy going down for a lot of folks.

      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.
