March 5th for me!  That's tomorrow!! 

So excited!!

Good luck to everyone!

Not sure why my post isn't showing as a response ... hmmmmm

I have tried the muscle milk lean, the low carb slim fast and the whey protein shakes.  I love them all.  I prefer the royale chocolate for the slim fast but the french vanilla, creamy chocolate, capichino and the strawberry are good also.  The whey protein is my favorite so far.  I make it with skim milk and it tastes great.  I will probably need to switch it up a little before too long but for now it is doing the job, 

just wanted to say hi! I just joined the group in the hopes of finding others to chat with about this new adventure!  I'm having my sleeve surgery in 9 days and to be honest I am a nervous wreck!!!  I'm not sure why, just freaking out a bit, lol.  I think its probably because I don't actually know anyone who has had this surgery, while I know so many who have had lapband or bypass I don't have anyone who can share their real life experience...you know, the nitty gritty details that the surgeon may not have mentioned.  I would love to hear your experiences so far!

Okay, let's lay it all out!  What have you tried and how did it taste?

I will admit that I have really only tried one kind and I really like it.  The best part is the protein is rBGH free (synthetic growth hormone) and sweetened with stevia.  I really try to stay away from sucralose as much as I can.  I like Jay Robb Whey Protein.  I've tried the chocolate and strawberry and they were pretty good with none of the nasty aftertaste.  I also ordered some of the tropical dreamsicle and I will let you know how that goes.

Edited: I tried a few Nectar flavors and wasn't terribly impressed.  They had a bit of an odd aftertaste (not terrible, but not great).  I've read that the Nectar Naturals taste better, but haven't been able to find samples.

Edited post-op:  I cannot stomach any of the drinks that I enjoyed before surgery, but have found that the Isopure Grape Frost and Pineapple Orange Banana are tolerable.  I am drinking 24 oz of this a day now which equals 48 grams of protein.
