Premier shakes are popular, but I never liked them - I can taste the Protein in them. Everyone's tastes are different, so you're likely to get a lot of different answers, but my favorite brands are Unjury (available only on Unjury's Web site) and Syntrax (available at lots of places - both stores and online - including Bariatric Pal's store). Get single packets if you can in case you don't like them - it'd be awful being stuck with some $30 (or more) tub of something that you hate.

If you want something besides shakes I have been doing Unjury chicken Soup 8 oz is 21 gms of Protein. You have to get it from their website. It is a nice alternative to always doing shakes. (drinking one now)

I have zero carb Isopure vanilla whey Protein powder. I also bought some powdered Peanut Butter (PBFit). I mix one scoop of Isopure vanilla and 2 tablespoons of the PBFit along with 8 oz of cold Water. Tastes just like a peanut butter shake. 31g protein, 2g carbs, 2g fat for the shake.

Jasmine1129 I am on the preop liquid diet to. I like the Atkins Protein plus shakes (chocolate). They taste good. I didn’t like the after taste of the premiere protein. The Atkins protein plus has 30g of protein, 1g of sugar, 2 g carbs and 7g of Fiber.

I like Core Power by Fair Life. They have a better consistency and aren't quite as cloyingly sweet as some of the others.

I started and still drink to this day since last September is anything from Body Fortress using unsweetened almond milk as the base. I liked Isopure, but its too expensive. I did find Xtend chocolate Lava to be great and cheap as well. Hope this helps.

Good morning all! I am starting the liver shrink diet today. I bought Premier Protein shakes but I am having a hard time getting them down due to the taste. Does anyone have a recommendation for shakes or Protein Powder that is not so "chalky" tasting? Thanks in advance!
I am on my Pre-op diet, and the Premier Protein powder mixed with unsweetened almond milk is delicious!! It is a bit thick, but smooth. I bought the chocolate and vanilla flavors on sale at Walgreens.

And I must speak up for my strawberry Ensure High Protein, to me it tastes exactly like Starwberry Quik. A little pricey but. Roy my dietician gave me coupons for $3 off on one, last week there was a $5 off on 2 and you also can download them off of their app/website. I don't taste that fakey evaporated milk taste so many seem to have. And they also have a clear form, both fruit punch and blueberry- pomegranate flavors. A little lower protein content. but still within tolerable levels. And it is Ohio-made!👍😛

I dont know where you are but when I was deciding on a Protein powder I headed to Vitamin Shoppe and they had sample packs you can buy and sample they give for free. Helped me alot, I choose not only a brand but also flavors.

      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.
