I am scheduled for March 12th. But mine is being done in the states.. I live in Missouri and we have an excellent bariatric center here.

I like stacker 2 protein water. Its drinkable -- the flavor leaves A LOT to be desired, but the protein is worth it. They are in a refrigerated case and there are usually a lot of options. My advice is to start with one of each flavor/kind and try them, find out what one you like best. You'll find the more protein you can get into your body the better you will feel. :-) My favorite is the Pink Lemonade.

The one that Greg recommends (Isopure) is the one that everyone I know raves about.

Good luck!

THANKS WILL LOOK FOR THOSE

Have you tried the Nature's Best Isopure Whey Protein RTD? It is sold at Vitamin Shop and some GNC stores. It comes in several flavors, and is in the form of a clear liquid in a bottle. I would consider it a protein supplement, rather than a meal replacement, but it is truly different than protein shakes. Also, it is not super sweet.

I DID TRY AN ISOPURE TODAY... I THINK MAY BE ABLE TO TOLERATE... THANKS...

I have been drinking the best tasting protein drink for several years. It is from Diet Direct.com Go to hot drinks. order the hot chocolate ohhhhhh is it the very best. I mix it in a shaker with hot water ... make sure you stir it good before shaking or burp your shaker after a shake as the heat of the hot water can cause your hot choc to explode .........once you try this drink it is by wonderslim... seventy calories and twelve grams of protien. mmmmmmmmmmso good.

THANKS I AM ON IT RIGHT NOW LOOKING AT THE WEBSITE... DO YOU NOT SMELL THE VITAMIN/PROTIEN? CAN YOU NOT TASTE IT? I JUST GAG AT THE SLIGHTEST SMELL OF IT... MOST OF THE SHAKES ARE SO ICKY SWEET... DON'T LIKE REAL SWEET STUFF SO I GAG WITH THEM AS WELL. I KNOW, I AM PATHETIC.....

You said that on Saturday when I saw you, but since I ended up with a 30 hour day some things are a little fuzzy. Where do you get them, I've never seen them at the store. I know you told us, but I'm having a senior moment (I'd say blonde moment, but I'm not blonde anymore)! I really haven't had any problem with any of them. The chocolate is a little too heavy for me, but if I cut it with a vanilla and save the other half it's okay. I've used the EAS AdvantEdge, Slim Fast and Atkins. As long as I have ice and a straw they are pretty good.

i ordered samples from unjury.com they have different flaovors but i figured the non flavored would really be non flavored... not!!!

I have been trying the protien drinks and cannot get them down!!! I have even tried the unjury non flavored... today at work... yuck... it does have a smell and it does have a taste... please help. I was so ready to try the unjury non flavored and now am so disappointed... any suggestions??? I ma really so upset.. I thought I would be able to ahndle this... My appointment withthe surgeon is this Thursday, I would like to be able to tell him I have found a protien drink I can tolerate... Please someone out there has to have this same problem with the total dislike of smell and taste of protien drinks... HELP!! (
