hi friends,

I am searching for the best Protein shakes! I have heard Premier is pretty good....they are sold at my local Sams Club. Are there any others you would recommend?

Also...are there any sites that offer free samples to try before you buy?

and...while I have you....what Calcium supplements are you taking?

thanks in advance!!!

I liked Bariatric Advantage Calcium chews.

I like premier Protein.

You can get a sample assortment of syntax nectar directly from the manufacturer.

You can buy single serve packs from Quest.

I also like GNC Lean shake 25. You can get samples at GNC.< /p>

I also like ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates, especially during the liquid phases. I don't know if you can get samples or not.

Quest are actually a Protein blend, not 100% whey Protein isolate. I drink Quest sometimes *now* at 16 months out because I'm getting most if not all of my protein from food (I drink shakes more as a convenience now). But we were told early out when you're relying on shakes to meet your protein needs to stick to 100% whey protein isolate.

samples - I don't really know of any free ones - usually you pay a couple of bucks for an individual packet, but it's way cheaper to pay $2 for sample than pay $30 for a big tub of it only to find out later you hate it. I'd definitely invest in a bunch of samples. And don't forgot a lot of people's tastes change after surgery - so try the samples *after* your surgery

Calcium - I use a variety: Upcal D (a powder you mix into food or thick beverages (it doesn't dissolve very well, so thin, watery drinks don't work as well. I usually mix it into my morning yogurt)), Bariatric Advantage chews, occasionally Calcet Creamy Bites (they're wonderful but 40 calories each - yikes!). Sometimes I'll also make a double Protein shake and drop a couple of calcium tablets in it. If it's somewhat acidic (like the fruity Syntrax ones), the tablets will eventually dissolve.
