I absolutely love the Optimum Nutrition shakes. I get them on Amazon. I have had coffee flavor and mocha Cappuccino so far. Next I'm ordering the chocolate coconut. They are around $50 but the container is 5 lbs and lasts for awhile! And no Protein flavor at all! Can be mixed with Water or milk and tastes good either way.

Go to Vitamin Shoppe and try there sample packs they have samples of the unjust flavored and something nectar that most people really enjoy also, I have learned from asking at both The Vitamin Shoppe and at GNC if you buy any of the containers of Protein and you don't like it just save your receipt and you can return it within 30 days !! I think that is just amazing !!! I have personally done it quite a few times! I tried almost every Protein Shake under the sun and my problem was they were all wayyy too sweet! The only one I could tolerate was the Isopure low carb Dutch chocolate. I would buy the 7.5lb container which seemed to always be on sale for like $75 and that would last me a month and a half or more. I would also add PB2 and it would change the flavor up and make it taste similar to a not so sweet Reese's Cup.

I had over 100 samples that I had either bought or gotten for free. It was awesome after surgery to have these. Most were too sweet right away but I could drink them later on. I used the Syntrax Nectar and matrix too and they were all good but now I like the Optimum Nutrition best. If you go to my bariatric pantry or Nashua Nutrition you can order samples for fairly cheap.

  • I have certainly wasted alot of money on shakes.My best advice is to get a decent unflavored and add your flavor to taste with fruit, cappacino, juice, crystal light. I love desinger whey avail at Vitamin Shoppe. Lots of flavors if u like that or a decent size double the size of unjury for 22.99.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
