If the regular shakes are too sweet, maybe try Unjury chicken Soup Protein Powder or Celebrate Tomato Soup Protein powder. You can buy samples of Unjury from their website for a reasonable price. Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to buy a sample of the Celebrate Tomato soup for a reasonable price -- they charge $25 for it on their website! Maybe if you call them they can help?

I also did a lot of the high protein hot Soups (HealthSmart brand) from Nashua Nutrition and found they helped a lot:

You can get unflavored protein (Syntrax Unflavored, Unjury unflavored) and stir it into broth or soup.

When you are making a hot Protein Drink, be sure to keep the liquid at 130 degrees or lower or the protein will clump, which is nasty. One exception is the HealthSmart soups -- they are formulated so you can use liquid right below boiling and it will work perfectly. Good luck!

premier is wayyy to sweet for me, i use the Syntrax products but if you really need lower sweet, the Vitamin shoppe now sell abouttine brand products i assure you beyond a doubt they are the lowest flavored Protein shakes to still have flavors. also have very few ingredients. Any ready pre mixed or RTD shake mix will be super sweet.

You can order abouttime packets online as well, and yes its one word.

I only drink Syntrax Matrix - after trying just about every brand I found. I love the mint cookie and Cookies & cream flavors best.

I can't tolerate artificial sweeteners. I use Isopure pure Protein isolate. Its unflavored and I mix it with fair life skim milk, frozen milk cubes, and a couple of cut up strawberries. I have a ninja mixer and it blends perfectly. I've never liked sweet drinks so I had to concoct my own. Hope this helps.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
