So I've tried a few Protein drinks, EAS Myoplex, EAS lean, Premier, Muscle Milk, and I hate them, all of them, they taste incredibly bad to me, any suggestions would be amazing! I'm almost a month out and need to get the Protein in. So frustrated because the nutrition places around me don't really like to give out samples just shakers and t-shirts when you spend a gazillion dollars in their store -_-

HELP!

Are those all RTD? I pretty much hated all the RTD I tried* -- much prefer mixing my own. My favorite powder brands are Syntrax Nectar (especially the Sweets line), Syntrax Matrix, Chike, Unjury chocolate Splendor, and Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard. You can get samples from Nashua Nutrition (just google Nashua Nutrition Protein samples) for all those brands except Unjury, which you can buy from the Unjury website.

I mix mine with unsweetened cashew milk or unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but if you want dairy (more protein) look for high-protein, low-carb milk such as CarbMaster or Fair Life.

I also use a lot of Torani SF syrups to change up the flavors and improve them. Another favorite add-in is instant coffee, you can make things like a vanilla latte or hazelnut mocha etc.

An immersion blender is the best way to mix shakes without clumps or foam IMO.

*I did like Atkins shakes, particularly the Cafe Caramel and Dark Chocolate Royale, but the numbers on those shakes are pretty iffy IMO.

Have you tried Isagenix? A bit expensive but really good for all things nutritionally including protium of course..

You know, I was drinking the chocolate Premier Protein shakes just fine for all the 6 months I had to eat a low carb diet while seeing my dietitian. Once I started my second week of my liquid diet where I was allowed to drink Protein Shakes again, something was just not agreeing with me with those shakes. TMI, but they were giving me diarrhea, so I tried the chocolate truffle flavor from nectar, as suggested by my dietitian because it's both lactose and gluten free. I'm going to give myself a little more time to try out the Premier Protein shakes one more try before calling it quits because I really like them. I don't have gluten issues, but the chocolate truffle nectar Protein Powder tastes great with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I've been able to eat puddings with no problem, so I'm not entirely sure it's a dairy/lactose issue. As Cindy suggested, PB2 is a great addiction to jazz up a shake!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
