Hi I'm 37 and I'm having my surgery on 1/28/13. I'm excited and scared.... I'm worried about 2 things, one is that I have not found a single protein shake that doesn't make me vomit ( other than sugar free instant breakfast) and I would have to drink them all day to get my protein in... And the other worry is sagging skin and losing my BOOBS . Any advice or suggestions?!

Have you tried Unjury protein powder mixed with skim milk or unsweetened almond milk. A lot of the ready made shakes have an unappetizing odor. If you cannot find something you can tolerate, I recommend you reconsider the surgery until you do.

Agree that unjury is an awesome Protein choice. It's 20Grams of protein the power alone, plus an additional 8 mixed with skim milk!

Give it a try!

I added decaffinated instant coffee grounds to my shakes as well as drank them thru a straw to try to mask the smell and taste, funny enough my pre op shakes (I can only get them at thru my dr) are the only ones I can drink now and I have tried alot. GNC has a 30 day return policy on all items, maybe try some protein powders/drinks from there.

I just tried Isopure liquid protein today and really liked it. 40G protein, comes in various fruit flavors, is like drinking fruit juice. It comes in 20 oz bottles so no mixing and is a little pricey but to me it's worth it.

I used Isopure post op to help get my protein in. It is very tasty and my doc ok'd it. There is also New Whey which is the same price but packs 42g of protein into 3.4 ounces versus the 20 ounce Isopure. My doc said this one was ok too and very yummy. Both were available at GNC in my area.

I haven't tried it but unjury.com has had high raving reviews from people in support groups here. All the shakes I had pre surgery have made me gag post surgery so far. Sigh

I bought 2 big tubs of unjury pre surgery and couldn't get them down post op............silly me didn't even try them before buying them. Pretty soon you can eat your protein and not worry about drinking it.

I just received my sample pack of unjury Protein mix and I love it. I have been drinking EAS advantage pre-mixed shakes and they are ok but I love the unjury so much more.

I mixed it with 8 oz of decaf coffee and a little ice and just a splash of non fat vanilla coffee creamer. It was really good. Was like a frappicino.

I am sure I will be ordering more if the other flavors are as good as the chocolate. Good luck with the protein search.

As far as tyour boobs go, I am in the same boat. I have always had a larger chest as it runs in my family, even when I did lose weight and was 145 lbs I still had them. But since then I have had a child and nursed her for a year and now I am 10 years older and have gained a 150 lbs, so I am hoping mine are still there when I lose this weight too. I do the doing a lot of reps with dumb bells will assist in building the chest muscles back up.

Wishing you luck and God speed on your surgery, my date is the 17th.

So I ordered some sample packs I ordered a bunch of Nectar brand YUCK IT WAS NASTY I also ordered the injury and while it seems to be the most expensive it is by far the BEST I will be ordering some containers tomorrow

I tried unjury in some oats this morning and I almost threw up at the smell of it. I lived all the rest so I will ordering a container of the chocolate. Let us know if you find any others that are good.
