Having a hard time with pre bariatric diet. what's best protein shake?
I have just started the pre bariatric diet for 6 months....and I am already tired of the repetitive food choices...The thought of eating supper at night makes me gag....so I was thinking about replaces.. lunch and supper with a protein shake...but my question for you is...what is the best one for pre surgery weightloss?

I like premier protein shakes, but I wouldn't start then so soon. You have to drink them 2 weeks before and have 1 a day for 7 weeks at least for my plan. I did do 1 a day during the 6 months till a month before to take a break. I work nights and a shake helped get me through the night without eating junk food.
I am on day 5 of my pre op liquid diet I get gastric bypass on June 15th I DO NOT recommend bariatric advantage i have to hold my nose just to get it down when i first started i was so hungry but by day 3 i didn't feel like eating anything i first started off with 5 shakes but then i cut myself down to 3 shakes a day im not going to say its an easy journey but in the end its going to be well worth it (9 MORE DAYS TO GO!!!!!!)

you can apparently get samples of different brands before committing to a large quantity. So far, all whey based shakes make me nauseous. So, I can't recommend a brand. Hopefully this site will be helpful.

I tried about every brand out there and gagged them down, the best one I found and I swear by is Syntrax Nectar Whey protein Isolate. zero sugars, zero carbs, zero fat, lactose and gluten free. the Fuzzy Navel tastes a lot like a Orange Julius. which I lived on for my surgery 6 years ago. I just ordered some for my husband a few months ago because he is getting ready for his surgery and they have a lot more flavors to choose from now and we have not been disappointed with any of them. and now they have to go packs which work great for him on his job.
