rozypozy 0 Posted January 27, 2013 Hi all! I'm a newbie to this forum and have just started my road to surgery. Right now I'm on my pre-op diet and need to lose 15-25 lbs. I've been trying different Protein Shakes, but haven't found one I like quite yet. I've tried pure Protein in the chocolate flavor (I've liked this the best so far), muscle milk light in the chocolate flavor (didn't like it at all!), and Atkins Advantage in the dark chocolate flavor (this one was alright). Any other suggestions for filling/good tasting shakes? Are they all pretty "blah" over all? Thanks in advance for the help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessi 15 Posted January 27, 2013 My favorite are the Atkins shakes. Also, GNC has a lean Protein Powder that is fairly good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kat77 63 Posted January 27, 2013 I like Designer whey, but I don't think it is 100% whey isolate like they tell you to get. I haven't really found one I "like" at all because I have to mix them with water.....its more like which one can I down without gagging...I don't know what I will do when I have to drink it slower.....hope you find one that is tasty......if so let me know please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bolivister 5 Posted January 28, 2013 Unjury chocolate, yum! 1 Vicki Loichinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pianogal7733 33 Posted January 28, 2013 Unjury and Atkins are really good! I use EAS a lot too and sometimes slim fast carb control shakes! I had to start mixing it up because you can get tired of one brand if you use it a lot. I like to just drink skim milk too. Best of luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
worm2872 635 Posted January 28, 2013 Baratric Pantry has a bunch of different sample packs you can order. You can order one from Unjury too. This is how I found my favorites. I like Syntrax Nectar chocolate Truffle and Syntrax matrix Mint Cookies and Cream for a change. I also like the Unjury. They have a chicken Soup too that is great for post-op. 1 Vicki Loichinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rozypozy 0 Posted January 29, 2013 Thanks for all of the suggestions, everyone! I really appreciate it. I did some research on the Syntrax Nectars and they seem to have great reviews and a variety of flavors. I'm going to give it a try and see how I like it! Thanks again!

Jessi 15 Posted February 2, 2013 Wow! Got my shipment from bariatric pantry. Made the matrix mint cookie shake with milk, omg! It is so tasty and a lot less fat than the Atkins. Thank you worm for the suggestion. I feel like I'm cheating by drinking this 1 worm2872 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
