Maybe this is just a rant, but I hate my Protein Shakes. I spent all of this money on the shakes at the hospital told me I had to get. They are absolutely disgusting. Make me wanna vomit. Spend $$$$$ and it's wasted. No trial packs available. Just BAM here's this disgusting "latte" stuff

Ok I feel better.

I've looked into Unjury shakes and have heard good reviews. Any ideas there?

I was so excited to finally be able to start my Protein shakes after ten days of clear liquid and they SUCK.cry me a river I know.

I was told to purchase Bariatric Advantage shakes and I think they come in six or seven flavors. I really wish I could get some opinions on the flavors before I purchase any of these. Favorites? Forever in the trash?

Only the latte flavor. That is the one that seemed the least appealing!

Don't trash it yet. Your tastes will change over time and in 4 months they might appeal to you. Search on this site for Protein shakes and you will get lots of recommendations.

Personally, I like Syntrax Matrix brand (Peanut Butter cookie - yum), Chike Protein coffee, and unjury chicken broth flavors. I also use Beneprotein powder, a medical grade whey protein that dissolves into anything. Great to add to any liquid or puree.

I just bought from Amazon Protein Shake by Jay Robb, they are a little pricey but are very good. I got the strawberry and mixed it with unsweetened almond silk. I also have purchase a few different kinds and hated them. I also bought Torani sugar free Syrup peach and add it to unflavored Protein mix or vanilla protein. I'm no expert it's all trial and see what works for me. Sleeved 2/18/14. Good luck. ????

I found unjury chocolate to be the best and premiere protein chocolate are okay. I wasted my money on all the others. 3 months out and my doc is now letting me have one Protein Bar and one shake. I am LOVING the Quest bars. They are so good! Good luck to you

I never did find a shake that I liked at all but I have found that I could tolerate Isopure. The thickness of shakes just make me want to gag, but Isopure has the consistency of plain Water and there are several flavors. You can try them (one bottle at a time) at GNC without having to buy a bunch until you know if you like them. I hope that anybody coming to this site will refuse to buy something that anyone connected with the surgery says you "MUST" purchase. They are just pushing something they sell and not looking after your best interests. Good luck with your journey.

I cannot tolerate any whey Protein Shake. I have found a shake called rockin refuel. 12 oz 30g Protein 12 carbs. I have this everyday for Breakfast it is a milk based but lactose free shake. I buy it at the Giant and it is in the dairy aisle.

5 months post-op. Tried different powder ones after WLS. By far the best tasting to my yards buds is Premier Protein 11oz 30g of Protein, 1g sugar, 4g carbs, comes in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. I purchase at costco for about $28 case of 18. I buy a three. Love them.

You can also find online Amazon but cheapest place is costco. Good luck!!

PS

I agree with other post, my taste buds change lots, sometimes I mix the powder ones I despised after WLS 1st couple of weeks. Save them and try to mix/blend with other thing, frozen fruit, Peanut Butter, yogurt etc..,

I'm the same way. I have tried all kinds of Protein powers and hate them all, Max Muscle, Bariatric Advantage, Muscle Milk, Syntrax nectar,powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, Jay Robbins..... Yuck!!! So I have given up on Protein shakes! I make my own protein shake! I use Yoplait blended greek yogurt, fat free milk, and fruit! I get about 17-20 grams per shake and no awful protein taste. It might have more sugar in it than most people want because of it being blended greek yogurt, but its the only greek yogurt I found I like. This morning I used Vanilla blended greek yogurt, milk, and fresh strawberries and it was really really good! It had 225 calories, 1g of fat, 36g of carbs, 21g sugar, 18g protein. If you want a little more protein, then I will add one wedge of the laughing cow cream cheese. It will add 45 calories, 1g carbs, 2g sugar and 2g protein. Or you could add one scoop of Beneprotein to it and it wont alter the taste of it. I've used Beneprotein in the past and as long as you use one or two scoops you'll wont notice the taste of it. Anything more than that you probably will.

Hang in there, I'm sure you'll find something you'll like!

I love this websitehttp://www.mybariatricpantry.com/Bariatric_Protein_Samples_s/35.htm . You can buy most brands samples of every flavor for like $20. See what you like before you buy a giant bag of something. I am loving the Matrix mint cookie it's da bomb!

      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.
