This one is hard. Do not get too much of anything. I found that kind/flavor's I liked before surgery I did not like after. I had chocolate Peanut butter I will 11 months out can't drink.
Did find in the first few weeks watering the protein down helped me.
Hope you are lucky and find one you like right away.

Thank you so much, I'll just get a couple to see which flavors I like
My 3 go-tos after surgery were Premier Protein caramel, Fairlife chocolate protein shake (to me it tastes just like chocolate milk), and Pure Protein chocolate peanut butter shake, tastes a little like a liquid Reese cup. All 3 have 30g of protein, and I never had a problem with the flavor after gastric bypass. Just lucky, I guess lol.

Any protein drink you can tolerate is a good one. A lot of pre-mixed shakes I've tried are way too sweet for me since surgery, although I like that they are usually quite smooth to drink, so I sometimes water mine down a bit with nut-milk or something, but that obviously increases the volume.
There are three pre-mixed plant-based protein drinks that I like:
Aloha Coconut or Chocolate Sea Salt (20g protein)
Evolve Chocolate or Vanilla (20g protein)
Owyn Pro-elite Chocolate or Vanilla (32g protein)
