I have tried several of the Protein Drinks and had almost given up on finding on that I like. Then, somewhere else in this forum, I saw someone mention Nu-tek Pro5. I looked it up and found a nutrition store that sells it (there is only one in my state). I called the store and they were so super nice and knowledgeable. They mailed me a big bag of like eight samples along with a free shaker bottle!!! It was just a gut instinct when I read about this stuff, but I knew I would like it. And I was right!! I have loved every flavor I have tried! They also have a Nu-Tek Pro 5 HERS which says it also has added Vitamins for hair, skin and nail health (it only comes in choc and vanilla though) but it is delicious! Worth a try! Hope this helps.

That's a great list of recipes. I haven't been having any problems with my Protein powders going down, but those look like a fun way to mix it up!

Another great source of Protein is plain Greek yogurt.

I used the unjury chicken Protein powder when I wanted something not sweet. I also like Gold Standard French Vanilla Creme mixed with soymilk and a packet of Starbucks Via Italian Roast Decaf. Tastes like a latte to me.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for posting all of those receipes. Some of them sound great. I do not have any trouble with the chocolate or strawberry shakes as I was on a liquid diet of nothing but shakes for 8 months as a diet in years past. But I might just have to buy some vanilla and give some of those a try. Thanks for sharing your information.

I was gagging on the potein shakes from my doctor, myoplex vanilla, unjury. I was told to get the Premier Potein shakes from Sams. They are 5 carbs and 30 grams per 11 ounces. They taste like chocolate milk to me. I drink 1-1/5 a day and get the remaining protein from other sources. Good luck, you have to try a few until you find what you can handle.

If you go to a GNC or similiar store they sell Protein Drink mixes that taste like punch, orange juice etc and they are loaded with Protein. granted it is not like drinking a Pepsi but they did mix them up for me and let me taste before I bought. I went with the very berry and one glass a day is over 30 g of protein. I am sure that different brands vary but try them out. Find one that you like after tasting and buy it. It makes up over half of the protein you need in 1 glass. I actually have no problem drinking the chocolate and strawberry shakes. I also have a cream of chicken and a cream of Tomato that comes from the same place I order the shake mix and they are pretty good and have 14 g protein.

I drink one of these 25 g shots twice a day (actually, I drink a half one four times a day). http://www.pureprotein.net/pages/category.aspx?cat=SPECIALTY#Protein_Shots The grape ones are available in boxes of 6 at Target. A little pricey (around $2 each), but so worth it to not drink those nasty shakes. The fruit punch flavor is better, and you can order it online.

25 g of high-quality Protein in less than 3 oz of liquid, then you can drink whatever you want the rest of the day for hydration instead of nursing a Protein shake. I'm only two weeks out, but I'm not sure how I would have made it this far and met my Protein goals without these. I just ordered a few cases online, as they're going to be a staple for me.

I realize I sound like I work for the company, but I don't, I swear :-)

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
