I tried several but ultimately settled on Body Fortress from Walmart. The chocolate and vanilla are the best. The chocolate Peanut Butter is okay. The strawberry is kinda blah.

Can anyone recommend Protein shakes that don't taste like chalk? I know this is very subjective but I need to start gathering samples and trying them. Surgery will be late June/early July.

You just need to try a variety to see what you like. Everyone's tastes are different.

I like:

Premier Protein (chocolate is my favorite, but I also like the strawberry and vanilla)

GNC Lean 25 (my favorite is orange cream)

Syntrax nectar (my favorite is fuzzy navel)

Quest (salted caramel)

Carnation no sugar added Breakfast essentials

ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates (these were great when I was on clears, now they are an easy way to boost my Protein by adding them to my Water bottle)

For more savory options:

Unjury chicken Soup

ProtiDiet creamy chicken and Tomato basil Soups

Definitely try samples before investing in bulk.

I use Premier chocolate shake I add half a banana Greek yogurt and Peanut Butter some ice and blend. 2 grams of sugar in the Peanut Butter only use a table spoon and one shake it makes enough for a few days.

One shake, even with these additions should NOT last a few days. that is not good advice.

Not everyone is you. Some people are bigger some are smaller some went from eating thousands of calories a day some not. Some of us had the bariatric bypass surgery some had the sleeve. People who had the sleeve are less restricted. If she or you can drink a whole pitcher of shake then that is absolutely fine. But a lot of us can't.

All of the Chike brand shakes were great to me. Excellent flavors without aftertaste.

I love Total Lean 25 from GNC. Banana is fabulous (add a little choc pb2!!) and Cookies and cream is pretty good too. I don't like the vanilla but my hubby does. The chocolate left a funny aftertaste. It was the only thing that made the pre-op diet doable! I add some Fairlife milk sometimes for a creamier shake and extra Protein. As for the others...Quest salted caramel was pretty good. I have some single packs of those to try. I also use the Unjury unflavored to add into things.

I'm in love with vanilla flavored unjury (I add 1/2-1 tsp of vanilla extract to it to make it have a stronger vanilla taste) and the green tea flavored Isopure. My taste buds really changed after surgery and the shakes and flavors I liked before make me almost nauseous now. These 2 are about the only ones that I can not only stand but actually enjoy drinking.

I didn't like the Premiere Protein shakes - got a small case with 3 of each flavor, meh! I prefer SlimFast High Protein/Advanced Formula, Pure Protein, or Muscle Milk. These may be the ones you're describing as "chalky", but I guess tastes vary!

Pre-op, I really liked HealthSmart Chocorite shakes. My favorites were their caramel mocha, Peanut Butter, banana creme, and chocolate brownie flavors. I'm not sure if they are sold in stores- I bought them online at netrition.com. However, post-op, I can't stomach them. Now my favorite is 1/2 of a premade Premier Protein shake mixed with 8 oz Fairlife skim milk- by itself, I find the Premier Protein way too sweet, but mixed like this it is much less sweet and using the Fairlife milk gives pretty much the same amount of protein.

I'm still in the trying everything out phase, but today i had the Chike Banana and OMG it was amazing! I'll warn you though, it was thick even after adding 12 oz of fairlife milk....otherwise i also liked Syntrax nectar Sweets chocolate Truffle. unjury was good too, but didn't sit well in my stomach. The only brands i haven't tried are Quest and Isopure.< /p>

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
