protein Shakes

surgery is april 3 need to know where to get shakes which ones taste good where can i get samples

I use Premier Protien.  I got mine at Costco but they sell them at other places too. Check out thier web site. 

I can tolerate Vanilla Bean Torte and Chocolate Truffle from www.vitacost.com.

Well I ordered the sample pkg from Unjury, it was $22 but this way I can taste before buying the large container. Ive heard Costco, Sams have good prices on premixed. I bought a few premixed from Vitamin Shoppe they have a good sale this month on Myoplex, I think that's the one. They're tolerable

Bariatric Advantage also sells sample variety packs of NectarX.  I found them at Vitamin Shop also which is nice since you can just pick them up.  Just a warning though - Vitamin Shop has all kinds of shakes that may or may not be right for us so I just stick to NectarX or Jay Robb.

 I found a website called bj's bariatrics it looks great lots of choices.  Plus it said you can choose the sample packets I thought that was great.

Good Luck, my surgery is 4/9.

Keep in mind your tastes after surgery may change quite a bit, so you may like something before and not after. Also early on you may not like a shake, but further on like it again. Early on after surgery I would just gag on anything too sweet, or fruity tasting, or not blended good enough, or gritty..... Luckily I found the premier protein chocolate shakes from Costco. Taste great, 30 grams protein, ready to drink, not gritty, lo carb, I'm 14 mo out and still drink one every morning mixed in my coffee. Good luck! Take care!

thanks everyone for all the great ideas i will write everything down and start to get some sample shakes

Get an unflavored protein powder and add it to crystal light or milk, etc.

Also, if you call Syntrax at: 866-333-7403 x 801
they are currently offering a one time only, limit one per person special on the Nectar ‘Variety Sampler’ containing 13 full serving packets of the following flavors:  Apple Ecstasy, Caribbean Cooler, Crystal Sky, Fuzzy Navel, Lemon Tea, Pink Grapefruit, Roadside Lemonade, Strawberry Kiwi, Twisted Cherry, Chocolate Truffle, Strawberry Mousse, Vanilla Bean Torte and Latte Cappuccino.  The price is $13.00.  The Nectar Variety Sampler receives FREE SHIPPING and orders typically arrive in 2-5 business days via UPS Ground. Their hours are Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm Central time.

I believe they are out of the Lemon Tea packets right now so you will receive two of another flavor.

I also, got samples and single packets to try from http://www.tryabouttime.com/


GOOD LUCK!

thanks so much sweetie
