Protein Shakes
I really like Syntrax Carribean Cooler. This has a fairly strong coconut taste, so if you don't like coconut...stay away! Syntrax also makes Matrix which have some good flavors--Cookie & Cream, Banana's & Cream, Perfect Chocolate. Both kinds can be purchased on Amazon. In a pinch I get the Syntrax from Vitamin Shoppe (locally).
There are bariatric websites that sell samples and that's the way I tried them out. Here's one, but if you google Protein powder samples you'll find others.

I believe there are personal reviews of some of the brands here on OH, but, I'm not sure where!
Congrats on your upcoming surgery!
