I'm three week post op and I can't tolerate protein shakes omg its soooooooo hard I can drink water and crystal light but I gag and through up when I smell or even take a sip of the protein ...its gotta be a better way I go to the nutritionist on the 28th hopefully she will help ...y'all I just got the lemonade kinda and it smells horrible as well omg what am I gonna do..... :-/

Have you tried the isopure drinks? There is 40g of protein in them. They aren't thick like a shake but like a Gatorade. There are tons of flavors grape seems to be the most mild in flavor. They do leave your mouth dry and a funny feeling on your teeth but I lived off of those after surgery as I couldn't stomach the shakes.

There are plenty of other ways to get protein than throiugh shakes. My NUT stopped my shakes after the second week and insisted I get it through natural food, Eat cheese, cottage cheese, eggs, chicken, fish, tuna, greek yogurt.

OH i hope that will be my case next week MY GOD I DO ....besides the dairy and chicken because I'm lactose intolerant and a Pascovegan all I need is the ok to have another source of protein and all will be soooo much better it almost brings tears to my eyes smdh! !!!!

No problem. Gnc has them. It's like 5.00 for a 20 oz bottle. They are kinda different but great protein in a pinch. They are also lactose free.

Does it have milk. Remember after been sleeve we don't tolerance milk as much. I know they come in different flavor like fruit punch.

Star calling or emailing those companies that sale protein. Tell them that you would like a sample before you buy and also let them know the you got sleeve and lie a littel bit by say the your nutritionist said that their are very good at making their protein. But you would like to sample their products first. I did and I'm getting some in the mail this week and next week. Good luck.

Isopure has been a lifesaver!!! Thank you sooooo expensive tho!!!
