Protein Shakes any advice please

No matter what type of protein shake I try I still get sick at my stomach. I am 11 weeks post op. I have tried them with water, almond milk, soy milk and skim milk. Any advice ? I eat meat most days only meat or egg. But I am still scared I am not getting enough protein. I can only eat one small egg or about 2 oz of meat.

I haven't had my surgery yet but I like the tast of Premier Protein Shakes. You can get them at Costco. They don't taste like chemicals and they are rather thick. My dietician recommended these to me and they are great.

What powder are you using?

I have found I like the taste of syntrax nectar and unjury the best. That is the two I have been trying to use. After surgery I couldnt use pure protein anymore. I bought something from gnc that was nasty tasting.

Have you tried syntrax nectar sweets yet or syntrax matrix ? Love them with water and soy milk!

Have you tried mixing chocolate protein powder with sugar free instant pudding mix? Add two scoops of powder to the packet of pudding and mix it up... add 2 and 1/4 cups skim milk. whisk together. Assuming you are using protein powder with 25 grams of protein and 110 calories... the entire recipe has 69 grams of protein and 513 calories. That would make a half cup serving have 128 calories and 17 grams of protein.

Syntrax Nectar Chocolate Truffle -- Awesome!!

Hi, were you not able to tolerate protein powder after surgery or were you not allowed by your doc?

Oh yeah, even more awesome when mixed with PB2. It is like Reece's cup!

What's PB2?

What's PB2?

It is a powdered high Protein Peanut Butter with 1/3 the fat and calories. I got mine from the hospital where I was sleeved, but I think you could find it online at Amazon, bariatric pantry or other online store fronts that focus on selling to WLS customers. I still have my original container from 6 months ago. It does last a while. I don't use it very often, but when I do it turns a truffle shake into 8 ounces of pure awesomeness. Give it a try!

I like the Unjury chocolate splender in my coffee in the morning!!! also smoothies

Could I use a differ net form of milk ? I cant do skim milk at all. So far almond milk is the lightest feeling on stomach and it is still almost to heavy for stomach. Next what flavor of pudding ? I havent been able to tolerate protein powder any other way, so I am willing to try anything once
