Is there anyone else out here that just could not what so ever meet the protein requirements ? These protein shakes are nasty and I just can't drink as much as they as me too and frankly after 8 days I am soo sick of them. I am completely starving and dont know what to do :thumbup: i am eating the jello and pops and nothing is helping! I was banded on July 1st :thumbup:

I was also banded on July 1st. You need the Protein to heal, so if you arent drinking the shakes, then get some whey Protein powder and add it into milk, or pudding or something....what kind of shakes are you using?? I like the EAS shakes a lot, especially the strawberry. the other thing I tried yesterday was :

in a blender, pour 1 eas or atkins shake, cut up one sf fudgsicle, a scoop of vanilla protein powder, and a couple od tablespoons of Peanut Butter....YYYUUUM!!

there are also protein waters that are good, like the Isopure waters...you should check out your local GNC, or health food store...I like the special k Water add ins..they add 5 grams of protein, but I am drinking the shakes so I dont need a super high protein water.....

what about cottage cheese, or Soups?? I found a black bean Soup mix that is 16 grams of protein per serving (havent tried it yet) cottage cheese is great protein, and considered on the full liquid diet...

hang in there!!!

I am super super picky thats my problem... I tried EAS i didnt care for them, i tried about 3 other types and finally got unflavored powder and mixed it with diet snapple but i can only get 2 in a day which is 40g of protein. I dont like cheese, but am drinking chicken broth which has a small amount of protein, i am just so frustrated when i try to just deal with the protein i want to vomit.. have you tried the protein water is it good ?

I sometimes buy the grape frost isopure protein drinks and mix it with lemonade. It's better that way. I haven't tried the other isopure drinks. I also use unflavored protein powder and mix it with my regular foods.

Personally I am much happier to have protein shakes than Isopure. I really like Gold Standard Chocolate that they sell at Vitamin shop. I do add suger/fat free pudding powder and Davinchi suger free syrups. Also I add vanilla protein powder to Greek fat free yoghurt (and some splendra otherwise it's too sour).

Try the Amp wheybolic protein mix from GNC I love the chocolate, I mix mine with 2% milk, taste like a milk shake. I can't do the other protein shakes!

I like the IDS Banana flavor protein powder. I mix it with 1% milk and some ice. Taste like a banana shake to me. It took me a little while to find one that I like. Keep searching, you'll find something eventually that you can tolerate.

We have a place here in WA called VitaLady that sells supplements for WLS patients. We can go in there and try anything protein drinks she sells. Really nice to be able to do that. Maybe if you call around you may find some place that will let you do that. Seems like real good business sense to me.

I too was picky and found some protien shots at The Vitamin Shoppe. They have either a 26g or a 42g version in different flavors. You can drink them in about two swallows and your protien is in...Hope this Helps

I've tried a bunch of different shakes and find that powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury has one of the best chocolate flavors available. Very tasty and quite enjoyable. AND you get 20gm of protien per shake. They offer several different types and are easily available from their own website. And there is no sugar in any of them.

My favorite way to prep the shake is using a bullet blender that comes with several cups that you can mix directly in... fill the cup half full with ice, add 8 ounces of skim milk, add 1 scoop of protien powder and blend it for about a minute. It comes out thick and chocolately and satisfies me for upto 4 hours. If you are recenly banded you can use less ice to make it thinner and easier to swallow.

Gladiator from Smoothie King 45grams of protien and 1 carb.

I really like the EAS Advantage Protein Shakes that are already premixed and in liquid form. The vanilla to me tastes like eagle brand milk which I personally think is wonderful!

I am also an EAS low carb pre-made junkie. I like the vanilla and the chocolate. They taste nothing like nasty protein shakes. Though this week I have been making my own to see if it would save money and it has. I got a whole container of the Jillian Michaels vanilla whey protein powder and I mix one scoop with 1 cup of vanila soy milk and its amazing flavor. I usually throw a banana in there for extra flavor but I didn't need it, it was great on its own. I prefer soy over regular milk (less lactose issues). I won't ever drink a glass of soy milk (yuck) but love it mixed in something or when I used to be able to eat cereal. It also lasts for months compared to a week or two with regular milk.

I was banded on March 22, 2010. I have also had a difficult time finding a protein I can tolerate. I tried Special K protein shakes and I really like them. I blend a small banana with a chocolate shake and 3 ice cubes, it tastes amazing. 1/2 banana with 2-3 stawberries in a vanilla shakeand 3 ice cubes taste great, too.

I buy the Inspire protein powder from Bariatric Advantage. They taste ok but it is only 4 oz's for 30 grams of protein. I figure I can choke that down in a few swigs so it isn't that bad. I've tried others but they want 8 oz's and that was too much for me at one time.

I like the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate with 1 cup skim milk, 1 cup cold coffee and 4 splenda packets. You can't taste the coffee, but I like the caffeine.

I've also read that you can add some powdered milk to skim milk to make it have more Protein.

this is also good:

1 plain yogurt

then use yogurt contain to measure milk and juice:

1 yogurt container of milk

1 yogurt container of orange juice or sunny delight

1 pkg carnation instant Breakfast french vanilla

2-4 packets splenda (optional)

using the orange juice, it tastes like a dreamsickle

I use a Blender Bottle (look it up on amazon.com) and it really mixes everything up nicely.
