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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
