I am going to have a revision from band to bypass soon. I know I have to start getting prepared with stocking up on some protein shakes. I DO remember it being very difficult to find any protein that I could stand the taste of. I was hoping someone here could give me some advice on the best tasting protein shakes or other ways of getting in lots of protein. 

Thanks

Everyone has their favorite I don't think I can help you there. But I can direct you to 2 blogs if you are not currently familiar with them. Google Bariatric Foodie and Theworldaccordingtoeggface

They both have some great recipes to jazz up those protein shakes.

I am not sure about the band, but my taste changed with the RNY.  The regular protein shakes became way too sweet.  I cannot even think about drinking one without gagging.

So I have one completely unopened 5lb chocolate powder and I have already given away the opened ones.

My point is, what you like the taste of pre-surgery may not be palatable post surgery.  So get some, but don't stock up.  Try lots of different types.

I personally use the Isopure ready made Gatorade type drinks.  They are sweeter than before, but not sickeningly sweet like the others became.

I agree that regular shakes are way too sweet now.   I can barely stomach them.  I like syntrax nectar shakes.  They are more like juice than those creamy sweet shakes.  I really water them down and they count as my fluid intake too.

LOVE  "PREMIER  PROTEIN" shakes in  vanilla and strawberry! Can even add fruit to these. Chocolate is ok too. Find in Costco and Sam's Club or online.
