I have 7 more meals of protein shakes to choke down before Doc puts me on the next phase. They make me sick, I bought numerous brands hoping one or two I could drink. Well the truth is they all are terrible (IMO), is there anyway around this? I don't mind anything so far but shakes make me gag! Any way to get protein and vitamins in my clear broth,juice etc.

Is there a way around the protein shakes!

Muscle milk finally work for me chocolate one are good!

Couldn't you water down Greek yogurt ( FAGE has 23 gr protein) I added sf syrup to mine. It beats having no protein at all.

i havent had a shake in 3 days i just cant stomach it im on broth and Clear liquids and im dying i have 5 days left til i go in for my next stage of mushy foods. your not the only one.. ive vomited once already and have been dry heaving every time i try to drink a shake.. ive even got the clear kind and every other kind nothing will go down and stay down .. sucks doesnt even cover the feeling..

I too don't like the shakes . I drank a little of one shake since my surgery on the 10th I feel stronger each day without the shakes . I m not a milk drinker and I forced myself to drink the shakes on the pre op diet but since we have a few more options now I m drinking no sipping Water crystal light and eating Jello and the fat free sugar free pudding chicken broth . Doing well on these. Thank God! I try the shakes but can't get much of them down .

I will try a different brand I know I need the Protein in order to heal properly. I have Atkins shakes now but gonna try these other suggestions . Thanks!

I hate Protein shakes also But I found some at GNC call Lean protein shakes the vanilla and strawberry Taste really good its like your drinking a milk Shake it Doesn't give you that nasty aftertaste that some protein shakes do There a little pricey but they're on sale this month

Been on costco Premier Protein shakes since June prior to lapband surgery. No issues. I put them in freezer for 30-45 minutes and drink like a slurpy.

This is what I changed to. Gotta try the freezer trick.

I have a High Protein shake every morning for breakfast for 2 1/2 years now.....

Start with some 100% whey, then 30ml of pure piquid protein, the add your favorite fruits, peanut butter, coffee, chocolate, just about anything your imagination can come up with.....put it all in a blender with 8-10 ozs water, or soy milk, add a ice cube or 2 in the summer....

Good to go with all the energy I need!

I cannot come up with any traditional combination of eggs, cereals, yogurts, etc that would even come close.......not to mention how much I would need to eat!

I blended the chocolate EAS carb smart (or something that effect lol can't recall the exact name) ready to drink with 1/4 c no sugar added chocolate frozen yogurt, a little ice for texture, and .... the game changer.... 2 tsp instant coffee! Voila! Iced mocha deliciousness without a hint of that "protein shake" taste or smell!

Now THAT is something I can drink 3x a day through the liquid stage!

Also got some vanilla flavored (protein drink and frozen yogurt), going to NutriBullet some fruit and layer it for a parfait effect!

I used the Isopure Protein Water I loved it' date=' and it was a nice change from the flavored protein powders not matter what flavor they were ICK.

These come in Fruit Punch and grape. I found them at Meijer's but that is a Michigan based store but also ordered them on amazon.

You have to be sh*tting me. $43 for 6 bottles? Seriously? Good lord...

I don't mind the shakes at all. At first, I used Body Fortress (from Walmart). Now I use ELITE by Dymatize from bodybuilder.com. Works out a little cheaper even with the delivery. Right now, I have chocolate Mint, Pina Colada, and vanilla. No, they don't taste like something from the malt shop, but they're not meant to. One thing I do is combine Crystal Light Orange with the vanilla. It tastes like a dreamsicle. Give it a shot with the different flavors.

HECK NO! George the $43 is for a 4 pack of 6 bottles each so your getting 24 bottles for that price

I hear you! I got so sick of the sweet shakes...that I just could no longer do them. I did better with canned broth (Campbell's soup broths) and thinned soups (like creamy ones thinned with water). I just did that until I could move on to mushies. I know I did not get enough protein then but better to get less protein than to toss your cookies! Good luck! This too shall pass!

I am not having an issue with protein drinks. My problem is hunger.

I made a raspberry mocha protein shake be adding 2oz brewed decaf coffee with 10oz low fat soy milk and 1 tbs. sugar free raspberry syrup. It was sooooo good! If you want it sweeter just add some splenda...
