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.< /p>

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 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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
