Try Walmart or Costco they have protein shakes that have less sugar in them and the taste is ok. They come in cans like slim fast

I liked using the Pure Protein (chocolate, cookies 'n creme) powder. I'd mix it with either Silk (vanilla) or water. Sometimes I'd do half Silk/half water. They tasted pretty good to me!

I'm using envelopes of HMR's powdered shakes. One envelope = one 8 oz. shake. Only I'm mixing them with 16 oz. of water. Cuts the sweetness in half to just about where I'd want it anyway. So far, HMR is the only shake I've actually liked. (Tried Bariatric Fusion, Metagenics, Walmart's Body Fortress, and a few others I can't remember.) I've got some Synt(something or other) Nectar on order and a sample pack from Unjury on the way to try those as well.

If I was drinking the pre-mixed stuff, I'd probably pour it into a larger cup and add water (no added milk for me during this 2-week pre-op liquid diet).

16 oz of water makes sense. Thanks!

Have you tried the Atkins Dark Chocolate Royal, Mocha Latte, or Cafe Caramel shakes! They are AWESOME!!! I originally tried Optifast but the only thing I can stomach is the chocolate kind and I wanted some more variety...so far these are working great for me!

No, I tried some berry thing from Atkins because it seemed like it would be good for breakfast, and din't like it. I'll try one of your suggestions. Cafe Caramel sounds good!

I loved the Unjury sample pack I got and the Syntrax Nectar samples. I'm trying to find a few I can mix during my process also and will buy in bulk once I get my surgery date.
