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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
