I love the EAS protein drink. they come in a four pack, have a coupon with them and additional discounts at GNC the first week of every month.

I began post operatively and still drink to suppliment my protein through the day: MYOPLEX protein shakes. They have 42 grams of protein. The chocolate has a great flavor but I have not tsated the vanilla or strawberry.

You'll get the most protein from ready-to-drink IsoPure 20 oz bottles. They have 40 grams of protein per bottle, and come in flavors like grape frost, icy orange, pineapple orange banana, apple melon, alpine punch, blue raspberry and mango peach. They taste like grown up koolaid and are really easy to sip on all day long. You can also get a some really good protein from the New Whey bullets. The are fruit-flavored, too, with 42 grams of protein in a 3 oz container. They come in grape, blue raspberry, orange, tropical punch, and now acai berry. They're a little thick, and sweet but tangy, so instead of drinking them by themselves, I would brew a large cup of herbal fruit-flavored tea and put half a bullet in. It made the tea taste "zingy"... and I miss that taste now that I no longer need the bullets. You can also go to any GNC or Vitamin Shoppe and get Syntrax Nectar protein powders. They have them in fruit flavors, like "fuzzy navel" or regular flavors like chocolate truffle, vanilla creme, etc. And for right after surgery, when fat content is not such a big thing, you might find you enjoy the Oh Yeah Vanilla Creme or Chocolate Creme ready to drink bottles. They are soooooo yummy! Hope this helps!

Vitamin Shoppe - Gold Standard Whey Protein 100% Isolates... many flavors no after taste and goes down smooth... Banana Cream is the best to me. Good Luck

None...Stay away from Protein drinks as they are made to bulk up not for weight loss. You will eventually gain all your weight back if you continue to use these. Instead get all your protein from food. Eat less then a cup of food or a few bites or a half sandwich every few hours. I eat anything I want and I eat all day. The important thing is to eat....This surgery only works if you eat. Drink water or tea and walk. I am 5.5 years post op and I am 122 lbs. I can't gain an oz.
