Emmyandlisa 12 Posted November 9, 2014 What Protein Shakes do you use? I'm just wondering which ones to get. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tamg26k 479 Posted November 10, 2014 Are you pre-op or post-op? Everyone has different taste buds and different brands, same flavor can taste pretty different. As far as the type of Protein that I use - I only use a whey isolate Protein. It is the purest form of whey protein and you get the most "bang for your buck" nutritionally. You should be able to find a GNC. They have plenty and the workers should be pretty knowledgeable. They should also be able to offer a few samples so you can try before you buy. In the pre-op stage I stuck to ready to drink shakes. I bought Premier Protein Shakes in chocolate and they were delicious without being too high in fat, calories, or carbs. They can be bought at costco if you are a member. Best of luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuzeMuze 338 Posted November 11, 2014 Pre-op (and still sometimes now) I also drank the Premier Protein. Chocolate's pretty good, but my favorite is the Vanilla- believe it or not to me it tastes just like yellow cake with frosting! Now that I'm post-op I still find the convenience of "protein in a bottle" very convenient with my work schedule & have been spending time finding alternatives to the chocolate/vanilla humdrum. Everyone's tastebuds are different, but there's a lot of options out there if you're willing to experiment. Best of luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
journey 14 14 Posted November 12, 2014 Pre-op I used Bariatric Advantage and Post-op I found one I like Isopure whey Protein isolate. It come in different flavors. I also use the Isopure unflavored protein to add to food/ drinks if I need extra protein. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brandyjune 28 Posted November 13, 2014 I use Jay Robb Protein if anyone is interested in a protein mix that doesn't contain artificial sweeteners. I'm allergic to splenda (sucralose) and sugar alcohols. Just in case anyone else is sensitive or allergic as well. sweetened with stevia and the best tasting I've found.

Cupcake 801 Posted November 14, 2014 I agree with the above statements your taste buds will changed after surgery don't buy it by the case, try and get samples or check at a GNC.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shawn Pettigrew 2 Posted November 15, 2014 I love the Premier Protein - chocolate and vanilla. My wife and 6 year old even loves them and drinks them regularly. We buy them by the case at Sam's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Homecie 41 Posted November 17, 2014 Try piping rock, it is the cheapest I have found that it mixes with warmer liquids without making "cottage cheese" in your glass. It has the least aftertaste. I use the unflavored and can mix anything with it. I have tried at least 10 different powders and really like this the best. I use the internet to purchase it, and it is shipped super quickly. Also, Bariatri choice has some great berry Protein mixes too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
