I love the Chewy Bites Calcium -- caramel is my favorite and chocolate's not too bad.

My favorites are the banana, orange cream, and vanilla; in that order. I haven't tried the strawberry yet. If u like coffee, you might like the ice latte. I didn't care for it. The chocolate was just ok. Try the samples first before you buy the bigger bag.

Thanks ever one I wish I could use my own "but my surgeon requires" BARIATRIC ADVANTAGE which sucks because out of all the shakes I have been sampling those are the ones that I haven't had

I love the premier Protein shakes from Costco! In my opinion, they are the best premade shakes around.

I bought the calcium citrate chewy bites from BA and liked them alright. I just switched to a calcium citrate capsule from Vitamin Shoppe that goes down really easily, I got the ok from my NUT on them and love the fact that I can zip down the street to pick them up instead of ordering. They are also about 1/4 the price. I've also switched to the Centrium chewable multi Vitamin and they are pretty good. I find it really interesting that same surgery but different surgery centers have really different guidelines as far as the supplements that are required.

I tried all flavors didn't like them much. So i stuck with the vanilla since it was the best to me out of all of them. I can't wait for when I don't have to drink that brand anymore. I just keep telling myself its a yummy milkshake lol

Also it gets thick if you don't drink it right away. I didn't like it once it got thick so I had to add more ice and put it back in the blender.

I have only tried chocolate, vanilla and orange cream. The vanilla and chocolate are both good. But I am not so hot on the orange cream. I REALLY wish I would have gotten banana instead. The orange is not terrible but it's not something I look forward to either. If I mix one scoop of it with one scoop of the chocolate it's not bad though. I actually like that this brand seems thicker than most shakes I've tried.

I'm going to have to consider the costco brand of pre-made shakes.

      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.
