Boost made me vomit! I'm scared now to drink any Protein shake! The taste and smell are absolutely awful! If I'm regurgitating before surgery, I can't imagine how it would be after surgery! What should I do for my pre op diet? I need a tasty protein shake! Has anyone tried Gatorade g3?

Have you tried EAS carb advantage they have it at Wslmart or try carnation instant Breakfast carb control high Protein they seem to be easier to tolerate keep trying you will definitely need protirn drinks the first few weeks after surgery and you have to get 60-70g per day that might be hard using Gatorade g3

whey isolate at Walmart with Cookies and creme or chocolate. use with ff milk or Water. mix and put in freezer. just like drinking a milkshake. it is important to find one you like and will drink. this will nourish you and keep you full on your liquid. i did 4 weeks all liquids. this is important.

the kind i use has 30 grams per scoop + you milk Protein.

hang in there. you can do it.

all the best

I used the EAS Carb Advantage also, they sell it in many place including BJ's. However, I have since become addicted to GNC Total Lean ready to drink shakes, they are awesome! They come in vanilla, chocolate & strawberry. The strawberry tastes just like strawberry nestle quick, talk about a flashback to childhood lol!!

i have never heard of Boost making someone vomit ! I drink one almost every morning. Could you have eaten something else with the Boost that made you sick ? Just wondering ..............check the health food store for individual packets of a Protein Powder called ( I think )" Spir u teen" , or "Spirit u Teen" or spelled something like that. They had several yummy flavors and then you could try 1-2 without buying a lot. Just mix with milk . Good luck !

Some people are really finicky when it comes to the taste or smell of Protein Drinks, I know I am. I have settled for costco premier nutrition chocolate pre-made drinks. I usually blend them with some fruits to get some more nutrition and improve the taste.

You should try and go to a supplement store and get sample packs of Proteins so you can try before you commit to something you won't end up liking.

When I was in the hospital forCrohns disease I was given Boost to try and keep me away from having IV nutrition only. I hated it and got sick to my stomach with the first couple of sips. Haven't touched it since

I really like the Unjury whey Protein powders. They have a strawberry one that I mix with Vitamin Water zero or sugar free lemonade. It takes like a strawberry margarita! I also like their chocolate splendor. Its delish. Sometimes I add a little Peanut Butter and it tastes just like Baskin Robbins Chocolate N Peanut Butter Ice Cream,

Thank you to everyone who replied! You have given me some new hope! I plan to go to GNC and see if they have any samples I can purchase. I tried the gatorade G3 , it's really good! Mixed berry flavor and 16 g Protein, no weird smell or after taste or weird thick texture! I hope I can try some of your suggestions! :D

At GNC you can buy just 1 of each flavor in their refrigerator section, or by 4 pack or case. I started out with 1 of each flavor & quickly went back for more. Of course like someone else stated Protein shake tasted are very person specific! Good luck & let me know what you think of them :)

Oh & a GNC bonus, if you sign up for their free discount card you get a 10% or 20% discount(I forget which sorry) the first week of every month!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
