Is there anything that has high protein that you can take easily without the horrible taste. I am still swollen from surgery so I can't get my protein from meat yet. All the drinks I have tried are disgusting. It takes all of me to gag them down. I wish there was a pill. Is there a pill!!!!

Isopuke (Isopure) tastes like fruit flavored liquid soap to me. The only two times that I have been nauseated in the whole process is (1) when they gave me Isopuke on my Breakfast tray and (2) when they put a blue Protein bullet on my breakfast tray. Both of them might as well have been Syrup of Ipecac.

I agree with you. When I was in the liquid stage I went and bought 4 big bottles of Isopure. I couldn't have imagined how putrid the taste would be until I opened one and took a swig. The next day I promptly went back to the Vitamin Shop and returned them all even the one I opened (they gave me store credit for that one). I really love the Solgar Natural vanilla Bean "whey to go" Protein powder . It's lactose free with no artificial sweeteners or ingredients. Ion-exchanged, Micro-filtered and hydrolyzed which means it's easier to digest and absorb, since it's pre-digested. One scoop is 16grams of protein.

Saffrondust - I love cream brulee...can you tell me where to buy believe?

BariatricEating.com - Ready to Drink Protein

Their store is in Pompano Beach, Florida, which is about an hour from me in Miami. I went all the way there just because they let you try all the different kinds and flavors of Protein drinks they have. I thought if I figured out which flavors I like best, I can order online in the future, so that's my plan. Good luck!

P.S. Their orange peach smoothie flavor is good too. It tastes like orange creamsicle.

I So far my favorite was the chike orange creme and milk. I didn't really like the ready drink pure Protein Cookies and creme but i still was able to finish it. Maybe i am just not that picky. I find it easier if you don't smell it while you are drinking. The smell can be kind of a turn off but it really isn't that bad.

Pre-op I loved the Chike orange so much that I ordered a canister of it. Post-op I can barely choke it down. Post-op I like their chocolate better than the orange. I hope you still love it post-op!!

I hated the clear protein drinks too. Thankfully the Dr. said I could mix the protein powder with light soy milk. It's fab! Very creamy and smooth, and at 24-25 grams per serving...it works out great while I'm still on the liquid diet. My sugery was 3/17/2010.

I also just discovered Jay Robb (my personal fav) has unflavored Protein as well... I'm going to try it, and will let you know how it goes.

Jay Robb is my favorite too....egg white is better than the whey, but i can do either. I haven't tried his unflavored because i can't find it in the 'sample' sized packet. I've used them in Water and also used the vanilla in unflavored Greek yogurt with fruit and extract and made a great smoothie. I highly recommend Jay Robb. If you try the unflavored, let me know how it is, please!!

I agree, Jay Robb has the best protien so far. I cannot stand protien supplements. By far this is the best I've had, it tastes like vanilla pudding..no after taste! Two thumbs up!
