I've never been able to drink Protein Shakes. I wanted to know what else is there to drink besides Protein Drinks during the liquid diet phase?

Unfortunatly you will need to get your Protein in somehow. They have so many new kinds out now. Ensure makes a good one but its kinda pricey. If you have a costco or sams club check there. I know Enusre also has a new clear one out you may want to try.

But I know what your talkig about. I was at the point with Protein Shakes that I told my husband "if I have to drink one more Im gonna shoot myself..lol"

When you say you've never been able to drink Protein Shakes, what do you mean? Do they make you vomit or do you just not like the taste?

Thanks, I will look into the ensure clear drinks. I always vomit or get really nauseous when I taste or smell anything milky. I've always wanted to try slimfast or muscle milk and I could never stomach the smell or taste. Maybe my Doctor has something else I could try.

Is it possible that you are lactose intolerant? There are Protein powders that are made from whey isolate, like Unjury that are for people that are lactose intolerant. I've tried Unjury with soy milk and haven't had any problems. In fact, I actually like the taste and it feels good on my stomach.

well, my dr told me to stay away from slim fast and i also do not like the milky tasting stuff. that being said, Protein shakes are a superb way to get your Protein in. you will just need to buckle down and find a shake that you like to help with this pre and post op phase. (i use whey extreme from Walmart in chocolate) and it is delicious. i even put in freezer to make my own version

of a wendys slush..

find what works for you as you are the one who has to do this.

I use muscle gain by advocare. It can be made with milk or Water. With water it's 25grams of Protein w/milk 38grams. It's a Lil pricey but def worth it since it keeps me full 6-8hours. Check it out at www.advocare.com/12102403 best of luck in your journey and hope this helps :)

Try Isopure. You can find it at Vitamin Shoppe or online. It mixes clear and they have fruit flavors. Think Gatorade, but its Protein and very low carb (I believe zero carb actually). And they are suppose to be very very good.

I use Body Fortress, you can find it at Walmart as well and it's pretty cheap. I'm so sick of drinking Protein Shakes though I could gag. I'm only 3 days away from starting solids and holy smokes can I not wait. I've begun getting creative and stopped drinking my shakes and have started mixing them in my yogurts and hot cereals just so I don't have to drink them anymore! I can't stand the smell of them anymore either! I'm going to by some Protein Powder for days when I need a Protein boost because I need to give the shakes a time out for awhile.

Syntrax Nectar unflavored Protein powder can be mixed with anything. It has no flavor and I used it in my flavored water. That should help those that don't like milk based drinks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
