I like Premier Protein, GNC Lean 25, Syntrax nectar, and ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrate.

There are many, many posts on this site with Protein shake recommendations, but the best thing to do is to try them and see what you like.

Everyone has different taste. The important thing is to experiment until you find one that you can tolerate. For me that was "Muscle Milk Light" (vanilla Creme) powder blended with Water using a half a banana. I used a Ninja blender with a single size serving cup. Good luck.

Premier Protein ready-made shakes in vanilla and chocolate are my favorites.

Just a quick note about unjury chicken Soup Protein Powder...I bought some and was adding it to my blended Soups at a little under 2 weeks out to get in my Protein after surgery. My weight loss nearly stopped at 2 weeks. Wasn't a stall...just slowed wwaayy down! Had a follow-up with surgeon and he said that Unjury chicken soup Protein Powder was way too high in sodium and was causing Water retention. I stopped using it and sure enough, the Water retention went away and I started losing again. Your results may vary.

I love the BariWise hot cocoa mixes. They dissolve completely and don't clump like a lot of other Protein mixes. The mint & amaretto are my favorites!

I also just this week tried Smart Protein by TR supplements (you can search for it on Amazon). The vanilla is very mild and not too sweet like a lot of others. It also dissolves completely so no graininess. I mix it with Carbmaster milk and a dash of whatever flavoring drops I want (those little Lorann 1 gm bottles used in candy making). So far, I've used Eggnog, Cake Batter, and Praline & Cream. Fantastically delicious!

Premier Protein seems to be the best tasting and easiest as they are ready made. The can be purchased at Sam's or costco in 18 packs. You can sometimes find them in 4 packs at Walgreens.

The nice part about ready made shakes is you are not dealing with the grit that comes along with the majority of powdered solutions.

I will say that my second favorite would be the syntax Nectars that can be mixed with Water or milk but you will need a blender or blender cup with the little ball in it?

I've been experimenting.

So far here's my favorite:

2 scoops chocolate Muscle Milk Light

1 Tablespoon-sugar free Chocolate Syrup (I use U-Bet brand)

7oz milk (or water)

1 cup chopped ice

Blend until smooth

The chocolate syrup is the key. It covers up the nasty taste. Almost as good as Dairy Queen!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
