How everyone I just had my vsg surgery on 5/22/17. I am almost 3 weeks out I feel great, my incision are almost heal I am tolerating liquids fine the only problem I encounter was not liking none of the Protein Shakes. My last resource was the sugar free carnation Breakfast & I like it. The only problem is I was worried because 13 grams of Protein per shake is not enough to meet the requirements so I bought fairlife milk that have 13 grams of protein plus the the shake makes it 26 grams of protein in each shake. Just putting it here just in case anyone else have a similar situation or problems with the protein shakes. I am very excited with this new journal I am starting can't wait to start exercising.

Have you tried the Premier Protein shakes? I really like the vanilla, try different flavors until you find one you like. Also, there is a product called Isopure, which has a ton of Protein and may flavors, I have to dilute with Water because I don't like the taste.

Also, you can get whey Protein Powder and make your own, just make sure to limit the sugar.

As you know getting enough protein is super critical to our success.

Good luck!

I like Muscle Milk light, not as thick as the others. I also like Premier Protein shakes but have found them to be really sweet since surgery. I've discovered that putting a drop or two of peppermint extract in the shake is a game changer - makes it really refreshing. I put it in both chocolate and vanilla flavors.

The Premier Protein are super light and also the only ones I can drink though I'm only 5 days post op

I like Premier Protein, I also sometimes like Syntrax Nectar as a sort of juicy, fruity alternative to the thick and creamy various ice cream style flavors.
