Some people buy brands on line, in the doctors stores, Walmart, gnc, BJ warehouse, Sams Club, vitamin shoppe, really you can buy any brand of protein you want as long as its whey protein. No need to buy "special protein" . As far as vitamins, that is pretty much the same, no need to buy special ones. Just take 2 doses of a normal vitamin, Iron, vitamin c, b12, dry vitamin D, and calcium Citrate. Do a search on here for vitamins and there are many post talking about how much you need and why types are best.

I initially used the doctor's drinks and they were pretty tasty and not to expensive. After surgery I switched to Celebrate ENS shakes to get some of my vitamins in that way. I still use the ENS every morning. Costly but since I have an issue with pills it's easier way for me to get in some of my vitamins.

My surgeon does not sell products, he thinks that is a conflict of interest. 

I buy Isopure, Syntrax and Designer Whey mostly. I buy Quest bars as well and LOVE them, but try to have them less and less. I buy from The Vitamin Shoppe and Vitacost. I normally get my Vitacost order within a day or two without paying for expedited shipping. If you want a 10$ credit for your first order (and I would get one, too, just to be fully transparent) please PM me and I'll give you my email address for the Vitacost company. I like how many specials they run and what a great value the orders are from Vitacost, but enjoy getting to go in The Vitamin Shoppe and learn about new products and try tastes of new items when they are doing demos.

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way.  Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!

I order them from vitalady.com or netrition.com.

I bought some before surgery because I had a week long liquid diet I used them on and I wanted to have them waiting for me when I got home.  I wasn't going to feel like stopping at the store to buy some on my way home from the hospital.

I can tell you what flavors I like best but that doesn't mean  you'll like them.  My very favorite is the Syntrax Nectar cappuccino, followed by the Syntrax Nectar vanilla bean torte.  I also like Chike iced coffee and banana, BSN Lean Dessert banana, and Celebrate ENS in vanilla cake batter.

I love the Premier Protein. I like the chocolate. The vanilla I have used like creamer for my coffee.

At 6+ months out, I still enjoy my Unjury Chocolate Classic shake every morning.  Tastes great!  Only downside is you have to order online in advance of when you need it.  In  pinch, I have used cvs brand chocolate protein powder shake.  Good luck!!
