Best tasting protein shakes



Recommended Posts

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! :)

My favorite are the Atkins shakes. Also, GNC has a lean Protein Powder that is fairly good.

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

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! :)

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.

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! :)

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 :)

      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.
