I liked the 100 calorie chocolate ones a lot. They have 25 grams of Protein. Would have those for Breakfast some days before surgery and used them through my pre-op diet. I haven't had any after, though. My surgeon and nutritionist told me not to drink them afterwards. They advised me not to have any protein powders or shakes with extra Vitamins. I've been using EAS shakes. They go for something like $26 on Amazon for 12 of them or $8 in Target for 4. Kind of expensive, but I like them. My nutritionist wasn't happy that they were 7 carbs, but was happy that I was able to tolerate them. Too many of the pre-made shakes have a bit of a tinny taste to me and this one didn't have it.

I used Muscle Milk Light (vanilla Creme). I found that blending in a half a banana improved the flavor.

I don't like any. What I found tbat tastes pretty good is actually the high Protein carnation breakfast shake. That has 15g of protein. I mix that with a scoop of chocolate premiere protein and some frozen banana and it's good

If your looking for a less processed shake, I find these to be delicious:

1/2 medium size banana

4oz unsweetened chocolate Almond Milk

3 tbsp Peanut Powder (I use Hoosier Hill Farm)

2 tbsp Ghiradelli unsweetened cocoa powder

274 calories

28g Protein

If you are worried about calorie intake, you can drop the cocoa powder, saving 40 calories and only losing 2g of Protein (234 calories, 26g protein).

Funnt to be reading this now. I'm in suburb to verify my airbag recall. They said they had one replacement left, so I wasn't prepared for the 2 hour job. Their waiting room has delicious looking Cookies. I walked right out and into the gas station quick mart next door. In my past life, I would have bought candy and ate the Cookies. Instead after walking around I settled on a muscle milk, 20 Protein, 100 calories and now sitting here drinking it and not at all intrigued with the cookies.

I like Unjury powder. I mostly use the unflavored. One scoop in 8 oz 1% milk is 28grams of Protein. The after taste of the premised shakes, especially the premier, makes me gag. I can handle Muscle Milk. Don't love it but you can find it just about anywhere.

      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.
