I am scheduled for surgery Jan. 17th.  I would like to know what shakes taste the best.

Thanks

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!

I like weightmasters from Walmart it is not expensive and good quality. Also your taste will change after surgery so try to purchase small quantities for awhile so you don't get stuck with a bunch you cant tolerate.

So, acknowledge your strength...rejoice in it...and start breathing in life, as the beautiful, strong soul (being) that you truly are." - Rachna Sirtaj.......Love & Peace

My personal favorite is the EAS brand.... Last time I bought it I got it at Costco, but I think you can get it just about anywhere....

Good Luck with your surgery... Not much longer now....
