Protein Shakes

I haven't had surgery yet but I was wondering if most of you post-op people buy your protein shakes at your local grocery store. Thanks

I'm still pre-op, but I got my protein at costco....EAS. I like it. They have chocolate and vanilla. Rachelle

Grocery stores, Walmart and Target do sale protein powder but IMO, they don't taste as good as the ones you order from bariatric online stores. I order all mine with bariatriceating.com or vitaminshoppe. Before surgery I was buying the chocolate brand from walmart and it wasn't bad but after surgery I couldn't stand the taste. Everyone's taste buds are different so start out buying small containers or order samples from different sites online. Oh, I also heard that if you buy protein from GNC and you don't like it, you can bring it back!! I haven't tried it because I stick to my favorite 3 but it's worth a try! Kay

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with me. I'm gonna check out those online stores. Take care of yourself.

OH MY GOODNESS - YES - I completely DOUBLE what Rachelle is saying! I buy EAS AdvantEDGE Carb Control - these are the best nutritionally for us WLS patients. Extremely low in carbohydrate, no processed sugars, very low faty, and a nice payload of 17 g of protein in a nice little compact 110 calories. The chocolate fudge is great! Guys - TRY THIS - brew a nice hot fresh cup of your favorite coffee (decaf is best for us healthwise), and add 1/2 cup of the EAS Chocolate Fudge, and a couple of sugar free sweeteners to taste - and mix well and sip. Makes a DELICIOUS, protein-packed mocha coffee that is to die for, and is such a GREAT replacement for those stupid calorie and sugar-packed creamers on the market! Love you guys, Mike
