Try some of the Syntrax flavors from Vitamin Shoppe or online at http://bjsbariatrics.com/product/synSamplePack.html

I HATE all Protein powders. I decided this time around (had band surgery almost 4 yrs ago) that instead of investing $180 (like last time) on yucky stuff, I would sample a few brands/flavors. I've tried Premier chocolate, unjury strawberry, Syntrax nectar cappucino, SN chocolate truffle, SN strawberry kiwi, and SN vanilla torte. The verdict is in:

The Syntrax Nectar line was the best brand I tried, with each of the flavors very good, the cappucino ESPECIALLY yummy. Bought some unflavored powder as well from them (Amazon, since I get free shipping) but haven't tired that yet. The chocolate truffle one was pretty good too. The strawberry kiwi was nothing special but something I could definitely do if I had to.

The premiers were just like their Walmart counterparts- chalky and icky. The Unjury was ok. I guess I could down it if I had to. So I'm sticking with Syntrax Nectar. Just bought 2 lbs of cappucino from Amazon for $35.00. They may be $2 less elsewhere, but I get free shipping on Amazon do it works out in the wash.

Good luck sampling. Like the above post said, you can order sample packets of different brands (I ordered my SN from bjsbariatrics.com). Came with 11 flavors, $12.50'ishThey sent me a coupon for $5 off my next $50 order. Holding on to that one!

      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.
