Yea the shakes can be a pain. I like Eas vanilla crime with 26 grams of protein. I use SF Almond milk or lactaid milk with a little cinnamon and it's not bad.

It is tough! I think that has been my biggest challenge post surgery! I am always searching on here for the next, new, protein drink to try. I am going to try Unjury next cuz it sounds like you can get protein almost in a clear form and isn't too sweet- that is my biggest issue! They are all too damn sweet for me! You can do this- there are so many of us on here that struggle with the same thing and if we can do it so can you! Hang in there. What brands have you tried? The only one I can get down right now is called Metagenics Rice Protein. I can't even stomach whey anymore so I am on to rice and after rice I will probably try a mix-protein blend. But you can do it!

Try different ones - none are great but some are more tolerable. I guess the way i could do it is because I had to.

The ones I settled on was the chocolate premixed ones I bought at costco called Premier Protein. Low carb and 30 g of protein.

I found the Syntrax nectar to be the best one for mixing up. It is really low calorie too. I made all sorts of creative shakes using their basic choc and vanilla and mixing sugar free flavorings. You can get a sample pack of the syntrax and try all their fruity flavors too.

Try some others. The pre-op diet phase is miniscule in relation to the rest of your life. You will get through it.

I've only tried this chocolate one I got from.Walmart, just to try testing them out,it has 23 grams of protein in it.... I'm so scared that after surgery I'm not go.na be able to figure out what to take, from protein to the liquid diet to the vitamins...

Here are some links to places that will send you free samples of their products. I just sent emails to each of them telling them I was a bariatric patient and would love to sample their products and gave my home mailing address. Within 2 weeks most had sent me samples. That's a good way to try different ones. Also, your taste buds will keep changing so keep trying! The first few months sweet things are just TOO SWEET. That goes away and you can tolerate sweets better. My favorite RTD Protein shake is Premier chocolate (at Costco's and Sam's) with 30g protein but it probably took me 4 months before I liked it.

Don't be worried; it will all fall into place. Did your nutritionist go over the vitamins, quantities and forms (gummy, pill, chewable, under-tongue, etc.) you need? Get those and one or more pill cases now. The pill cases are cheap and will allow you to line up in advance the pills and vitamins you will need. Keep all your pills and vitamins in one place. I use a kitchen cabinet and put them on a tray so that taking them all out to refill the pill cases is easy.It won't take long before getting the right pills and vitamins in the cases is an easy routine.
