Liquid protein shake recommendation

[lucclu81 21]

Hi everyone I am scheduled for the sleeve on July 24th at NYU with Dr. Schwack. I was approved for the band but I met a friend of a friend who had the sleeve done, did my research and now I'm getting sleeved.

I'm not going to sugar coat it, I'm lazy and don't like mixing things. Can someone recommend a Liquid Protein shake which tastes good? I bought GNC's because it had the highest amount of Protein but it has an aftertaste. I can't find the slim fast high protein which is on the recommended list.

Can anyone recommend a great tasting Protein Shake please?

Thank you

I have been using the GNC total 25 powder to mix my shakes, an I really LOVE the banana flavor one!

A lot of people like Premier Protein shakes and Pure Protein Shakes.< /p>

Where to buy Premier Protein:

You can find Pure Protein in brick and mortar stores (Trader Joe's, Kroger, Costco) but they probably have better selection online. I think bodybuilding.com probably has the best selection and prices:

honestly I am not crazy about any of the RTD stuff but Pure Protein was my favorite of what I did try.

By the time I was through the surgery and into mushy phase, I couldn't stomach any more shakes. I advise not to stock up too much, even with a flavor or type you like.......once I could get solid Protein or even mushy protein down, I haven't had maybe but a few shakes since. I will say you should start to experiment with Quest Protein Bar flavors because they have been my go to since surgery.......

Thank you I definitely won't overstock.....I just need to make sure I find something I like to get me through the pre-op diet.

Your doctor doesn't have you on a 2 week liquid preop like Optifast?

I've also heard about Isopure drinks being excellent for Protein intake. I hear they taste like powerade/Gatorade. I haven't tried them yet, I'm still new to all this myself. I just had surgery Wednesday morning, and today is my first day home. If you happen to try the isopure drinks an like let me no, an any other suggestions are helpful. Thanks

I've found the isopure gatorade type bottled drinks to be a bit grainy. Certainly not as smooth as Water or actual gatorade.

I have heard a lot of people say your taste changes after surgery so i just got sample packs, and i got some premier (grab n go) and i like them we have them at sam's club here and wal mart like $20.00 a case

also plan to try syntrax- fuzzy navel heard that was good they have to go packs but it is powder.

I have a list of recommended powders and ready to go(RTD) shakes which I can choose from. The GNC lean shake has the highest Protein per serving but it's grainy and has a horrible aftertaste.

To answer your question yes, I have 2 week liquid preop but I have a choice as to what I drink.
