Sorry if this has been asked a zillion and one times... I'm so nervous about drinking the Protein Shakes. shakes in general (unless legit milk shakes from restaurants) make me gag. I am pre-surgery and would like to start trying shakes now so that I can find one or two brands and flavors that I can tolerate or might actually like.

Anyone have any suggestions of brands?

I second Premier Protein. 30 grams of Protein and doesn't taste bad at all. When I get tired of the flavors offered (chocolate, vanilla, etc) I just mix the vanilla in a blender with frozen mango, frozen blueberries, etc to create my own new flavor.

Low fat Muscle Milk is okay , but I actually like the banana cream by Premier the best.

Premier Protein Shakes are the best so far and advanced body fortress powder from Wal-Mart is also pretty good and have 30 grams of Protein and body fortress powder has 60 protein. Pre op I am told we need to drink Atkins shakes because we need to drink 60 grams of protein so we need to drink five shakes a day of 15 grams of protein 5 times a day plus 60 ounces of Water.< br>

If you don't like "shakes" try the Syntrax Nectar. I bought the variety pack to try them all. Flavors like lemonade, iced tea, fuzzy navel. They aren't creamy, more like a regular beverage. I mix them with ice and Water, they are 100 calories, sugar free and 23g Protein. I'm pre op and just giving them a try to see what I like, and so far, so good. [emoji1303]

I was drinking the lean shake from GNC for a long time over a year but now I'm in bulking up mode at the gym and I cant drink the thick milky stuff for working out I found a Water based Protein taste like kool aide no sugar added 20 grams of protein its called isolate ZERO pina colada is the bomb so give that a shot if you don't like the thick milky stuff

      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.
