Hi everyone,

I am pre band about 2weeks away from being done all my appts, however when i go for my one and one with my nutrisionist before my surgery he requires that i have all the vitimans and Protein powders with me. So my question is does anyone have a suggestions of the favorite protein powders flavored and unflavored, also they gave us a sample bag of some of the products they sell in my doctors office like Unjury and Healthwise, should i stick with just purchasing these products from the surgions office since obviously that's what they suggest or is there cheaper better version's I could order online. I guess my real issue is i've never likes Protein Shakes there chalky and gross and i want the best tasting and least exspensive . If anyone could help with with suggestions that would be very appriciated.

I don't know if this will help you... I don't like Protein shakes that are powder. I tried, and I kid you not, every flavor in every brand! I went to 3 different health food stores and didn't find a single one I liked! So, that being said...

I only like premade stuff... my doctor's office has one called Isopure. They do sell it at GNC (I order it online and if you have the GNC card, it's even cheaper).

The other one that I like is Atkins Advantage shakes. I buy 'em from Sam's Club. It's like $16 for 12 cans.

The premade individual containers cost a little more than the big containers of powder stuff, but I figured I'd rather hurt the pocketbook than my tastebuds! That way it motivates me a little more to drink them.

Also, a small packet of tuna has 20grams of Protein. I LOVE tuna, so I have this for lunch with some salt and pepper, or some mayo and mustard. Helps pack the protein in during the day.
