The only ones I could seem to stomach were the "Pure Protein" shakes. You can find them at Vitamin Shoppe, GNC and some grocery stores. They are ready to drink and come in several flavors (Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, banana, cookies and cream and peanut butter cup). They have 35 grams of protein each, so two shakes gets you through for the day. I have to say I got REALLY sick of them by the end of 3 weeks or so, but they got me to soft foods. Now I pretty much ignore the protein shakes altogether and go for light cheeses and greek yogurt to get my protein in.

Best of luck.

You might also want to Google "low fat protein shakes." There are some really, really good recipes out there.

Topic: RE: protien shakes

Shakes are soooo subjective. I detest, for example, Isopure, but I know people that love them. The only premade ones I can even stomach are Atkins. But it seems like almost every store now sells SOME kind of shakes.

I CAN tell you that I 've seen shakes at:
Stop and Shop
Walgreen's
Walmart
Trader Joe's
Whole Foods
BJ's Wholesale Clubs
Vitamin Shoppe
Vitamin World
GNC

Try some that you can get in single packs, as opposed to larger quantities. Or, tailor-make them to your own taste by just getting a plain flavored powder and adding fruits, yogurts and flavorings that you might like.

I, too, have the sleeve, as of August 25th. I choose it also for all the above reasons, and was the absolute best choice for me. There is a message board here to read more information and hear others' experiences. (Its also great to know there are others in CT with the sleeve!)
