Protein Shakes Help Please

I am post -op by one week. Before surgery I went and found a protein shake and powder I liked. I chose pure protein so I could try to get the most protein. I can't drink them now. Every time I try they make me sick at my stomach. Even making a smoothie with powder I get nausea.

    Carol many people's taste buds change post surgery. The shake you bought earlier tasted good to you, but now........... try another brand - some places sell on the web with a variety of flavors. f

  • Try mixing it with sf pudding

Ginger helps my nausea. I either cut up fresh ginger into tiny pieces and swallow them with water or I drink ginger tea. I have otherwise found protein drinks like Pure Protein to be too sweet and thick. I like Wonderslim protein drinks particularly because they are aspartame, soy, and dairy free.

I just tried the Syntrax Nectar Oreo ....WOW! I just got a sample pack to see what I thought of it and let me tell you it had a very nice, milky, Oreo flavor to it, especially in the first few sips.

If you like the Syntrax Nectar Oreo, you'd like the Syntrax matrix Mint cookie ( if you like mint and chocolate) it's really good!

Is the Syntrax Oreo gluten free?

I don't think so as both the syntrax Cookies and creme matrix product and the double cookie nectar product only claim aspartame free. Usually products are fairly obvious in their labeling when they are Gluton free.

I still live on EASAdvantage shakes from Walmart. These were suggested by my nut. I don't like the Atkins shakes. I'm too lazy for the powders. I also eat a quest protein bar every day. A cousin had a bypass surgery a year ago and his nut suggested them. I talked with my nut and Dr. They both said they were good protein sources.
