I've been trying my hardest to get these Protein shakes...but i think something in them is making me sick. i have tried about 3 now and they all make me sick. Am I the only one with this problem? I HATE the taste of them. but i usually suck it up and finish it. but as soon as I finish...about 10 min later i feel uncomfortable and I start gagging and eventually puke...

But I've noticed that the actually shake isn't coming up. It mucous (i have a bit of a cold) so a little stomach acid (NUT said that it normal)

Am I the only one with this problem? please help!

Here's another site for shake recipes. I'm 11 days post op and strongly identify with the OP. I had a shake that tasted like a Resses cup today. I feel so much better. We can do this!

I think someone mentioned it, but it may be lactose intolerance. I developed it around 2 weeks post op. It was a royal pain because I had 3 different kinds of protein and I've spent so much money trying to find something that doesn't make my stomach turn!! This post IS right on time!!

I seriously doctor up my Protein drinks. It "masks" the flavor of the protein enough that I find them enjoyable.

(BTW, when I had my lapband 6 years ago Isopure was the first brand I tasted and I couldn't stand it. Then I went to EAS CarbAdvantEdge and that was my staple for 5 - 6 years. This time around I"m still experimenting).

Tonight was PBJ protein drink:

2 scoops vanilla powder

1 tbl PB2 Peanut Butter

1 pump SF peanut butter syrup

1 pump SF strawberry syrup

Made in plain, light soymilk.

I never, and I mean never, drink "straight up" Protein Drinks. The smell alone is too bad. Not a lot is going into my mouth nowadays so I really want to enjoy what does.

Yesterday was peanut butter cup protein day (chocolate powder, PB2 peanut butter, SF peanut butter syrup).

Tomorrow is feeling like it might be an orange julius protein day (vanilla powder, SF orange syrup, tsp SF vanilla pudding). I little farther out I will use reduced acid OJ instead of the syrup.

For RTD, I prefer the EAS CardAdvantEdge in strawberry, but it has to be VERY cold. I can't stand them once they warm up. I buy them at Target, they look like this:

EAS!!! This is what I use too! Love them. My husband likes them too! I get mine at Sams Club.

My nutritionist gave me a sample of these bad boys and I loved them especially the orange but i've been too busy to get back to her about ordering some, so I have no idea how much they are or where to get them from...

Sunkist Protein 24g, super tiny and way better than any Isopure or protein shots, and especially those aweful shakes!

Those look really good! and have a good amount of protein! when you find out please tell me!
