I have made a week and four days and I am having a real tough time with the premier protein shakes just the smell of it makes me nauseous .

Promasil chocolate and strawberry are very good.GNC carries them.

I'm pre-op and I have bought a case of Premier Protein shakes for post-op. I hope the smell doesn't make me sick after surgery as well. I also bought Unjury vanilla, chicken soup, and unflavored just in case. I hope you find something that doesn't make you nauseous.

Try Chike..you can google them, then call the 800 number and they will send you some samples. I got the choc, vanilla, and strawberry, and they are sort of like a milkshake. Taste is good, not gritty, and it comes in dry powder you can take with you and mix with water on the go. One serving is about 28 grams of protien. Try it, you'll like it!

I couldn't stand protien shakes while on full liquid.now that I am on soft foods I drink them for meals and love them. Stomach takes a while to start to feel normal again.

Chike shakes are great. I've also found Syntrax Nectar shakes - they have all kinds of flavors (lemon tea, apple, cherry, etc) that are very light and can be mixed with water. They have been my saving grace. Had pink grapefruit this morning - yummy!! I get them from BJ's Bariatrics (online) and you can order a sample pack that you make up yourself. Quick shipping, too. Ordered some more mid-week and they came yesterday.

Do they mix up thin? I don't like a thick protien shake.

Yes - that's exactly why I like them. I mix them with about 12 oz. of water and some ice. You could even do more water if you wanted to. They really have saved me. I think if I had to have vanilla and chocolate all the time I wouldn't have made it to this point. After today, 4 more days till puree!!!

I like them more watery. I will get some nectar tomorrow and give it a try.

I drink the EAS carb control. 3 carbs and 17 protein. The vanilla is thin. I could never stomach the thick ones :-/

Not sure if you have these or not, but the new packaging for the Premier Protein shakes has a twist top in it. I had trouble with the smell before they came out with the twist top too. Maybe you can try a straw, it will take your nose a little farther from the smell.

I mix my chocolate Premiere shake in a blender with a few pieces of ice.... Love it!

I freeze them into popsicles

I am a week after surgery and I've had great success with Bariatric Advantage Latte and Orange Cream flavored shaked. They mix up completely with only a bottle shaker so I don't have to use a blender which can add extra air. More or less water to change consistency.

Amazon has the orange on sale with free 2 day shipping for Prime members. These are big bags.
