I am still 2 1/2 months out from surgery, but I am chomping at the bit to have something else to do to prepare, so I think I will start sampling protein powders and such to use post op. 

So, I wanted some ideas.  What are your favorites?  If you could give someone one tip for getting in their protein in those first couple of weeks, what would it be?

 Before surgery Fusion Chocolate, EAS carb advantage chocolate.
After surgery the only thing I can handle is Chocolate muscle milk. Don't over buy! Your taste change after surgery. Good luck! I hope you love your sleeve as much as I do!

 Premier brand from Costco. ready to drink, 30 grams of protein, low in carbs, tastes good and quite inexpensive plus it's oh-so-handy.

Lol @ the steak and shrimp from outback.  I have not had surgery yet but have sampled some protein shakes and liked the premier chocolate premade but I don't have a Costco so had to get it at Sam's club.   I also have a friend who had the rny and she gave me some samples of the syntrax nectar and I like the chocolate truffle and the cappuccino one was ok but I like the chocolate the best I also tried the vanilla and strawberry those are both good.

I used Unjury Protein and Nectar protein. I found adding a lot of ice chips to the shakes helped me to get used to them, plus it adds extra fluids.  I also like the Unjury protein chicken soup.

Isopure choc or vanilla made with unsweetened almond mil**** and a tsp or stevia and sometimes a tsp of cocoa powder or sugar free Davinci syrups to change flavors.

I love protein shakes. They are like milkshakes to me!

I buy at vitamin shoppe. They are more expensive in store but will match they're online price!

Gnc way more expensive.

The Syntrax Nectars.  I get mine from mybariatricpantry.com but several sites have them.  Get a sample pack to start out with before you buy a tub.  My favorite flavors are Crystal Sky, Kiwi Strawberry and Twisted Cherry.  Good luck!
