I was able to get all of my protein in pre op, but once I had surgery just the smell of them makes me want to throw up. I have tried several different kinds and it is just to expensive for trial and error. Wish there was just a pill!!!

Ditto, i hate them now u r making me nervous i get sleeved tomorrow morning and not looking forward to 2 more weeks of the nasty stuff

Oooooh I feel your pain. At 6 months out, I still try to get 1 in a day. The only ones I can drink are the ready to drink Premiere shakes from Costco. Even then, they have to be super cold, or partially frozen. I pour it into a 4 oz dixie cup, so I can't smell it when I drink it. So, maybe if you try drinking from a really small cup, or something else so you can't smell while drinking....I don't know, but I know its hard. First thing post op I drank Isopure ready to drink from GNC. It makes your mouth kind of 'puckery', but the taste was tolerable. But then, I've heard other people say that they hate Isopure. I hope that you guys find a shake that you can tolerate. Best of luck to you.

I'm about sick of them also. I don't think that they taste so bad really, it's just that having had them two weeks pre-op diet and also before that I was having a couple a day. And then after surgery the doctor says to get at least 40-60 grams of protein - I've been getting at least 54 from the protein drinks - I'm just sick and tired of them.

I'm with you all. I just can't stand any of them.

Do u mix Protein with them?

I like the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken flavor. You can get a sample packet to try before buying a larger container. I mixed vanilla Protein powder with 1/2 soy milk, 1/2 Water, and a packet of decaf Starbucks Via instant coffee. You might try that if you like coffee.

Plain greek yogurt has the most protein per ounce other than meat. I blended into a shake using a little water, a splash of OJ, some splenda, and a couple of strawberries.

soy milk or fat free milk are also good sources of protein.

Best wishes on your journey. It's tough the first few months, but it has certainly been worth it to me. I was never nuts about the protein drinks and I haven't had to use them in at least 6 months, even when traveling. Yahoo!

Shelly...Syntrax is a brand of protein mix. They have many flavors, including fruit flavors, strawberry, lemonade, cherry, fruit punch. I have a couple tubs in my pantry....to me they're just as nasty as any other. But some people like them. You can go to their website and order samples....it used to be something like $15 for 10 samples.

I tried the nectar lemon ice tea today. Love it.
