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.

I am no help with the horrible tasting protien drinks...I can't stomach any of them either. My dr did say I can try the protien bars and those are wonderful. So if you can get through until you can eat solids, give the bars a try...Pure Protien has a chocolate Peanut Butter one that is yummy with no funny tastes!:)

Cast another vote for the Inspire Proteins. IMO, they are the best tasting--and really, 30 g of Protein in 4 ounces is a pretty big bolus.

I like to make them with almond milk--it bumps up the Calcium, and the flavor is very good.

I use Isopure Zero Carb Vanilla mix... I LOVE IT! It tastes kind of like the the mexican Horchata you get from the fountain at mexican restaurants. It mixes perfectly with Water without a blender and tastes really great. 50 G of protien. It was the ONLY one my surgeon (Cedar Sinai) would allow us to use for at least the first 30 days. I'll definately continue with this one though. It's my protien for life. :)

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

What is the name of the shot ? I have a Vitamin Shoppe here i will have to check it out.

Thank you everyone for your great idea's and support !

I made the Major mistake of buying the 3lb Bottle of Isopure Cookies and Cream powder. $50.00 some odd dollars a piece. You mix 2 scoops with 12 ozs of Water for 50 grams of Protein. It's not ALL that bad tasting, but I am just sick of it. There are 22 servings in the 3 lb bottle. I have about half of the bottle left, So my advice is DON"T buy the HUGE bottles.< /span>

Hi there! I was banded on April 1 2010. I have had issues with all protien drinks. The insopure is :ohmy: I took one sip and that was enough for me. I did however find that Shamrock farms has a protien drink that is great! it has 20g of protien and made with 2% Milk. They have three flavors , Vanilla, Shrawberry, and chocolate. They are all great. Taste just like flavored milk. This is what Im sticking with for now. :)

There is a thread somewhere on here with tons of recipes to use with the Protein shakes. I normally put some frozen fruit with milk with the vanilla powder. I hate fruit so I feel like I am killing two birds with one stone.

I have also flavored them with sugar free pudding when I put them in the blender.

I have some other Protein food ideas on my blog

I liked the EAS whey Protein Shakes but I also ate soup--if you check the labels you can find some that are quite high in Protein. There's also the liquid yogurt drinks, they have about 9 grams of protein if you don't want to eat yogurt. Cottage cheese, I agree is great, low cal and lots of protein. I made a potato/cheese Soup with veg. broth, I thinned it out quite a bit and that was very good. Carrot juice or even Tomato Juice has a few grams of protein and is good for a change of pace. Good Luck!

I must be in the minority because I love the Isopure chocolate mix. I usually just put one scoop in a small glass of skim milk. You get 25g of Protein from the Isopure and a few grams from the milk. While it doesn't mix great, I think it tastes pretty good.

I think the biggest difference in taste comes from pre packaged vs powder forms. I personally dont care for the pre packaged. With the powder forms you put in a little more control over what goes into it and the flavor. You can add a little greek yogurt or Peanut Butter or 2 or 2 frozen strawberries. I love to add low carb frozen fruit to mine. it gives it a frozen frothy cosistancy.

You gotta find what works for you and everyone is different!

During my pre and post op I used the carniation instant (sugar free of course), benprotein with 10 oz of skim milk. Now I also use the pure Protein (Walmart carries a small container for $10). I really prefer the first one but the Walmart one is more convienent. :grouphug:

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
