The best advice I got was to find one you like so you stick with it. People have been posting about 2oz. Protein bullets sold at costco, I'm going to check my local Costco out to see if they have them. I am tired of drinking a full cup of Protein Shake too.

I can honestly say that I actually ENJOY my protein!!!

You guys should really check out nectar Protein (here's a link) Nectar Protein by Syntrax Protein - Discount Sport & Bodybuilding supplements - My Supplement Store Online

It really is the best tasting in my opinion. I also have a vanilla flavor, but I drink the Fuzzy Navel nectar. I will put half a bottle packet of Crystal Light peach tea or strawberry.

I REALLY recommend you try a Nectar.. I think on some sights you can find sample packets.

I hated the Protein Shakes until I found Atkins Advantage. Now the ONLY flavor I do like from Atkins is Dark chocolate Royale.

I'm hating these shakes but need the calories. The taste in my mouth is horrible. It feels like I need to brush my teeth every hour. I have been on the Atkins Shakes and just started Slimfast...they all suck.....9 more days 'till surgery.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
