That depends on the brand, type (pre made or powder)

I buy mine from Wal mart $15.00 52 g Protein Powder form flavor Cookies and cream. I also buy EAS premade drinks 4 for $5.00

I used Slim Fast - Low Carb & found them at a very reasonable price on Amazon.com with free shipping. The shakes can get a bit boring, but I have blended them with ice & added extracts on occassion (orange or coconut) a piece of banana, spoon full of Peanut Butter & I have heard of adding instant coffee, but haven't tried it yet.

I've been using several options: Carnation Instatnt Breakfast sugar-free, Boost Glucose Control, Slim Fast Optima or Glucerna. I had coupons for most of these. You can register on their websites and they'll send them to you in the mail!

I'm adding yogurt or skim milk, ice. My pre-op diet includes raw vegetables (carrots and celery) twice a day. I've added these for my morning shake. Put it in the Magic Bullet...never taste it!! I've also added a dash of vanilla extract, splenda/equal/sweet & low and lite pancake Syrup.< /p>

I prefer EAS advantage (advantage because its lower cals than regular EAS) - my fav flavor is choc fudge.

I find Walmart has these for the cheapest I've found.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
