Many people like Premier Protein ready-to-drink individual 11 oz cartons. Available at costco, Sam's Club in vanilla, chocolate, and just starting to be available in strawberry. Other locations too (some grocery stores, pharmacies carry them in smaller 4 packs, etc).

30 gm of Protein, 160 cal

Other people say they're too sweet. I like 'em 'cuz they're easy, quick, portable, and satisfy 30gm of protein at once!

zero chalky taste, zero aftertaste. pretty good Protein counts in the 100, awesome in the premium.

I love GNC Total Lean in vanilla, chocolate, & strawberry.

170 calories, low sugar, 25g Protein.

I bring a case to work so I know I always have a high Protein meal or snack.< /p>

I want to try those Muscle Milk 100 suggestions above! They sound delicious!

I don't like any of the premade shakes, but I use lots of different brands and flavors of Protein Powder to make my own shakes. I use Unjury, Chike, Jay Robb, and Syntrax Matrix brands the most. I mix my shakes with Carb Master milk - comes in plain, vanilla, and chocolate, and is higher in Protein and lower in calories and carbs than regular skim milk. It is available at Kroger. I also use a lot of different flavors of Sweet Leaf Sweet Drops and Torani sugar free syrups to change up the flavors of my Protein Shakes.< /p>

For hot Protein Drinks, I use the Healthwise Cappuccino and hot chocolate. Those I mix with 50/50 Water and carb master milk, and again, use lots of different flavorings to add variety.

Core Power shakes taste like flavored milk, not like a Protein shake. I cannot stress how much better these things taste than ANYTHING else I have ever tried (powder or premade). They are pricey (around $3ea), but it is worth it in my opinion for the short time that we will be dependent on these things. 26g of Protein in an 11oz bottle. In order of best to worst, I would rate them Vanilla, banana, chocolate. Be advised these are the full sugar ones, so make sure your doc is ok with it. They also offer a couple light versions if you need to go the reduced sugar route, but I have not tried those flavors. Happy Hunting!

By far the Peanut Butter cookie Protein mix is the best tasting one I have come across! No aftertaste!

What brand is this? Thanks!

Syntrax matrix Peanut Butter cookie is the bomb, especially with a spoonful of PB2 added and mixed with milk (half milk half Water or almond milk, or use milk for all the liquid).

Chike Iced coffee Protein powder is also a winner in our house, regardless of diet status.

I couldn't handle the Premier Protein Shakes because of the lactose. The taste was fine but the resulting bathroom visits were not. For those who are lactose intolerant, try something else.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
