My faves are unjury strawberry and Natural Factors Double chocolate. I like the Natural Factors because it doesn't have any artificial sweetneers and is organic. I've turned into a Manic Organic since banding. I want everything to be the best quality.

Thought my grocery bill would go down..... Not the case yet....

I like the eas chocolate powdered Protein. I mix it with Hood's chocolate milk (no sugar, low fat.) It doesn't have the nasty thick consistancy of slimfast. You can also get it at Sams.

I agree about thinning down the slimfast in a blender with ice cubes and a little flavoring.

Gotta love that magic bullet

I also like the Unjury. the non-flavored is great to add to anthing you want..

I love the chocolate,

Also look for Healthwise online. they have great,shakes/puddingd, and Fruit Drinks, as well as hot chocolate and coffee drinks

I ordered a bunch of sugar fre flavorings from Capella Flavor Drops - Flavor Concentrates for Coffee, Tea, Desserts, Diet & Protein Shakes without fats,calories,carbs or sweeteners

a sample pack of 5 bottles, your choice came to around $34. this includes your shipping.

try drwells.info. she is a local weight loss doctor who has a lot of high Protein products for sale on her site. You can at least look at some nutrition labels and get ideas and see some different brands.

The ones my mom used after her Gastric Bypass you can get at a health/vitamin store. They're called Champion and they taste really really good...plus she started using (sparingly) the sugar-free Fat-free syrups (like caramel, raspberry, etc) to add flavor and it makes a world of difference...plus it's a huge amount of Protein in those shakes...

Atkins has a shake, Caramel Latte, that has 20g of Protein and 2 (I think) g of carbs. It is awesome. Tastes like a Starbucks Frappachino. At least that's what I tell myself. :angry_smile:

I also like the Slim Fast Optima French vanilla and Milk chocolate. The Milk chocolate tastes very much like a fudgecicle.

I drink them all very, very cold over ice.

Unjury isn't too bad. I would go to Walmart and buy the Body Fortress whey Protein in all the flavors you like. it is much cheaper than unjury and tastes just the same. The good part about unjury is that they have so many flavors. A lot of the doctor's offices have protein supplements. I also like Healthwise. They have a Tomato Soup that is pretty good and gives you some variety.

I like the Atkins and EAS Carb Control ready-to-drink shakes. I also have gotten Designer Whey powder. I tried a lot of samples from Vitalady.com but most of them tasted gross to me and required a lot of mixing. The Designer Whey powder mixes easily with a spoon.

unjury is OK too, but the strawberry sorbet flavor is the worst. IMHO. :biggrin:

Thats so funny, I love the strawberry unjury, goes to show you, you just gotta try them all!

Really?! :biggrin: I'm not a picky person and I couldn't even get it down. It definitely goes to show you that it's a good idea to try lots of different kinds before making an investment (I read stories on here of people buying big containers of Protein powder only to find out that they hated 'em). Sample packs are the best way to go, I think.

Medifast is pretty decent. Do the chocolate with a couple drops of mint extract and 4 ice cubes. Yum. Also, instead of Water, I used Diet Rite orange soda with the vanilla shake mix for a dreamsicle. Also use Diet A&W rootbeer and vanilla shake. And their strawberry is good all by itself.:thumbup:

      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.
