My surgeon said that any protein powder was ok as long as it has at least 22 g protein, 200 cals or less, and less than 10 g of sugar.My girlfriend had the surgery a year ago and likes Syntha 6. She said it dissolves easy (not lumpy) and taste good - I found it at Nutrition Depot. I posted some recipes today that the surgeon gave me during my pre op appt. that look pretty good. Hope this helps! Good Luck

If you have a GNC, their Whey Protein mixes for  shakes are pretty good, and fairly reasonable.  I added some peanut butter (wish I'd gotten the PB2 then), half of a small banana, and it was really good!  I wish I had gotten some of the tastless protein powder to add to soups, because the sweet stuff (and I used to be a BIG sweets and bread eater) got kinda old.  When you get to mushies, you'll think you've died and gone to heaven.  Lotza Luck!

I like the Premier Protein in chocolate from Costco the best.
  One day at a time, and one meal at a time, and I WILL reach my goal!

I got very sick of the sweet protein powders, and never really found one I thought was that good. Unjury has a creamy chicken soup that I like and having something savory seemed like a life saver. They have a sample pack you can order to see what you like, as well.

 I had tried TONS of protein powder and spent alot of money.  I found Syntha 6 at Nutrition World and LOVE it.  I have used all the flavors and all of them are great.  Mochachinno (spelling?) is awesome in the morning.  I love them.  All the other ones seemed to have an odor and after taste.  Syntha 6 smells good and tastes just as good.
