Everyone's tastes are different. For readymade, I like Premier Protein that I get at costco. For take-along powder, Isopure or powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.

You really just have to try several until you find what you like.

My fave (even 4 years post op) is EAS AdvanEdge RTD.

As far as powder I like Quest & EAS Lean 15

Something that I wish I knew sooner is you can COOK with Protein powder!! Flourless Protein pancakes, muffins, etc...

Many that don't like milky shakes enjoy nectar and Isopure Zero Carb

I absolutely LOVE the Premier 'ready to drink' shakes.

chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and banana.

I take one shake, a few TB of coffee crystals, and a pump or 2 of Torani sugar free syrup... and it's like a sinfully caloric coffee drink, except it's not! #proteincoffee #proteinicedcoffee

Favorite recipe RN is banana shake, salted caramel Syrup, Greek Nescafe crystals. Mix it up and toss in the freezer...

Check out the Nashua Nutrition site, they have a section where you can buy individual flavors for like $2 so you dont buy a tub of something and hate it.

@@cutefacechubbywaist They can be found in many places. Walmart, grocery stores, GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Amazon, etc...

I find the best price on EAS AdvantEdge RTD at Walmart.

For Isopure Zero Carb and nectar, GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, etc... have a great selection of flavors to choose from.

I love the SDC About Time chocolate Peanut Butter. Throw some PB2 in there and unsweetened vanilla almond milk and it's 29 grams of Protein and tastes like a peanut butter cup.

We all have such different tastes when it comes to Protein Shakes. The shakes one person loves, another will find disgusting.

Personally, I love HealthSmart ChocoRite shakes. They have a bit less Protein than other shakes, but still acceptable (24g for 150 calories and 3 net carbs), and I think they taste amazing. They are the only shake that I've found that doesn't have a gross "protein-y" smell and aftertaste, and they aren't as sickly sweet as some of the others I've tried. They have a bunch of flavors (the yellow cake batter flavor totally tastes just like cake batter, I love the caramel mocha flavor in the mornings, and one scoop banana cream mixed with one scoop Peanut Butter is divine!) They also aren't too expensive (they are $12.99 for an 11-serving container at netrition.com, so less than $1.20 per serving.)

      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.
