judyoz 240 Posted July 15, 2015 Premixed Premier shakes, I love the chocolate. I have one every morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShrinkingPeach 1,291 Posted July 15, 2015 Agreed Premier shakes are pretty good and no mixing as they are ready to go. Syntrax you can get at GNC or The Vitamin Shoppe. Premier is at costco, Sam's and Walmart. Which ones have you tried? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elode 8,093 Posted July 15, 2015 I'm with the girls above Premier was my #1 all through pre-op until now really AND Syntrax! I order mine from vitacost.com. strawberry mousse is my newest obsession. Taste like strawberry nesquick! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agalindo17 331 Posted July 15, 2015 I also had problem with Protein until I tried the premier chocolate flavor and now I'm happy I can get my protein in everyday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smye 694 Posted July 15, 2015 Syntrax isn't bad. I also did a lot of protein-filled broths (like pho) and made protein gella-o for myself to get by during phase 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted July 15, 2015 You've gotten good suggestions. In Store Vitamin Shoppe ad GNC are great places to go. Whole Foods and most drugs stores also carry Protein shakes and powders. I am the rare person who hated the taste of premiere Protein. I like Isopure. I can drink their green tea, black tea with lemon and coconut waters. I also liked CVS brand Protein powder. Try to get a variety and try to find one that can be mixed with Soups and teas. I also ate and still eat loads of FAGE 0% greek yogurt. Early on I used to make a Soup by pureeing Beans, straining it and thinning it with vegetable broth. Add in a ½ scoop of unflavored Protein Powder and it makes for a great high protein, nutritious Soup.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Debbie623 65 Posted July 15, 2015 After so many Protein shakes, I am sick of them. I am three weeks post-op. I now put Protein powder in hot tea. I then pour it over iceto make ice tea since I am not a hot drink person. Best wishes for a quick recovery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maxcimax 220 Posted July 16, 2015 I drink Premier Protein shakes in chocolate & strawberry. They MUST be cold. I also get Syntrax nectar but I mix mine in Silk unsweetened vanilla. I tried Water & couldn't stand it. You can buy individual servings at The Vitamin Shoppe. This way you can try various flavors without having to buy a huge container of the powder. I tried the Isopur drink & couldn't stand it. Tried to give it to my adult kids & they wouldn't drink it either. Ended up throwing out 4 bottles.< /p> Good luck with your surgery.

TravelinGal 11 Posted July 17, 2015 Another vote for Syntrax nectar. The fruity ones are, to me, "da bomb". I have not tried their vanilla/chocolate/strawberry shake flavors yet. Much lighter than the traditional shakes. They make good Popsicles too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camsmom08 10 Posted July 17, 2015 I'm loving the chicken Soup flavored Protein powder by Unjury. It's yummy. Their vanilla flavor is good also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
