Premier Protein shakes, you can purchase at costco and Pure Protein Shakes are both 30 grams of Protein, low fat/low carb and approved for me by my NUT.

I liked using the Pure Protein powder better, it tasted less sweet to me and I would add some sugar free flavors from time to time. WIth your fat free milk, it is also over 30gm/ serving.

The Body Fortress Super Advanced whey Protein are 30 grams and only 150 calories. They are available at Walmart for like $15 for a 2 lb tube(27 servings) and come in several good flavors, I personally like the chocolate peanutbutter.

I use the Premier Protein shakes as well. I have the luxury of having an absolutely ridiculous amount of very thick hair. I followed my plan to the tee but still lost a ton of hair @2-3 months out. I am still losing it but not as much. Given the amount of hair I have I didn't stress to much about it. However my NUT told me to minimize Hair loss that at week 6 to make sure I get all my Protein plus maybe 10-15 grams extra and to never forget my Vitamins. Some people on this site suggest Biotin and it seems to get mixed reviews. My best advice would be to keep getting your protein in, unfortunately it is bound to happen but hopefully not too much!

Isopure Protein Powder from GNC has 50 grams of Protein. I ordered it from the website. colombian (coffee flavor) it's good. The store didn't carry that flavor. I like mixing it myself better because It's not so sweet. The Isopure fruit juice flavors (like gatorade) has 40grams of protein.

      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.
