Congrats on your surgery & welcome to the Loser's Bench! I've posted this a few times, but here we go again...always willing to share the info w/the newbies!

I've been using powdered protein...EAS Chocolate (23g protein) from BJ's and Costco's Vanilla (made my Muscle Milk, 27g protein)...I'll use plain water or Crystal Light Orange w/the Vanilla, and I also use cold decaf coffee w/1/2 scoop of each w/an ounce of SF Ice Cream to make a "frozen latte"...the bags are $23-27 (5-6# & 75-80 servings), so the they are quite cost effective. Costco also has a "Premier" brand pre-made chocolate shake 11oz, 30g protein that is quite good...15 pack for around $25 I think.

Nectar Syntrax
You can get a box of all 11 nectar protein flavors directly from Syntrax for $4.99 plus $5.99 for shipping. Contact Rick Davis Medical Sales Manager [email protected] ext. 803

Try this brand of whey http://www.shopabouttime.com 2.99 FOR TWO SINGLE SERVE SAMPLES, CHOICE OF FLAVORS.

Chike Nutrition: 6.95 for a 5-flavor sample: http://chikenutrition.com/free-sample.html

Unjury: 17.95 for a stater pack; 2 each of 5 flavors + shaker bottle: http://www.unjury.com/store/protein/unjury-protein/unjury-starter-pack/unjury-starter-kit.html

Also vitalady.com is a great place to order samples. She is a Roux-en-Y patient who is nearly 20 years out and does her best to help provide excellent products the bariatric community and you can orders samples of all sorts of proteins that you are usually hard pressed to find samples of!

And get your butt into the RWMC Support Groups, as Julie mentioned, she has samples of Nectar Syntax & other products ...
