I've been drinking one every morning for Breakfast because I realized I was only consuming 20 grams -tops (my surgery date is next month).

I decided to do this to get more Protein and form a habit.

I've turned into quite the mixologist.

My go-to fave so far is:

6-8 oz of warm Water (mixes better)

A single packet of Decaf instant coffee

1 scoop of choc Protein powder

1/3 frozen banana

Teaspoon of cocoa powder

Teaspoon of melty coconut oil

Blend.. and yum. I actually do this 15 min. before I want it or the night before and place it in the fridge to chill. I like the foam to go down first. Tonight it tasted like hot chocolate almost.

Cold is good too though.

Anyone else have any good ones? I know our tastes are all different but I need variety. Eventually I'll get sick of this one.

Might want to check with the surgeon, but I think the Decaf might be a no go, only because of the acid. Not sure, it is a question, not an absolute, but worth checking on. I just like chocolate no sugar powder from GNC, I'll put in some vanilla yogurt and some Peanut Butter powder. I started adding coffee after week 6.

Try premier protien chocolate premixed shakes! They are so good honest! They are mixed with Water they have 30 grams of protien in 11oz less than 1 sugar and 5 carbs oh and I think 160 calories my favorite flavors are the chocolate Carmel and banana. You can find them at Walmart Sam's club and Walgreens.

I have the same problem, I don't like any of the Protein Shakes I've tried. Would love to hear more options.

      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.

      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.
