I recently posted about having to gag down my Protein too. I finally settled on premiere (I have a ton of Unjury but only like chicken soup) from costco. I spent a long time till I came up with ways to kill the taste. One T of creamy Peanut Butter added to the chocolate lets me get that down and a frozen banana added to the vanilla works well. Oddly enough, I was a huge Water drinker before and now struggle to get my liquids in. The is a wonderful and very weird journey...

My plan had me drinking carnation instant Breakfast (sugar free) with 2% milk and that was much more tolerable than most Protein Shakes. I'd add a tablespoon of Protein Powder to increase the Protein but it didn't mess up the taste. I also drank slim fast 321 shakes which I liked more than the standard Protein Drinks.< /p>

If you are okay with having more calories Naked and Bolthouse make drinks that are 30 grams of Protein for about 400 calories.

I've found that the Isopure drinks are tolerable if I drink them in a certain way I have a little 1oz shot glass. I set an alarm to go off every 10 minutes. It goes off and I do the shot and follow it with Water. Sure it takes like 3 hours but I don't have to deal with the taste. The isopure's are 190 cal for 40 grams of Protein. .

My favorite so far is the New Whey brand - they are available at Walmart for a dollar less per drink than at the Vitamin Shoppe. I mix the vile with a big glass of ice Water and drink on it for several hours. I believe they are 42 g of Protein for around 180 calories - not too bad. There are several flavors but the fruit punch and the grape are my favorites - they taste mild in the ice water and are really refreshing.

Hi all. I was sleeved on Monday April 8' date=' and I'm on my full liquids stage now and I need help. I absolutely HATE Protein shakes. Does anyone have any other options I can use to get my Protein? Any help would be very appreciated. Thank u![/quote']

Isopure PROTEIN helped me just stay away from grape frosted but the ice tea and apple melon are good..

I just bought nectar protein!! The Roadside Lemonade flavor. I mixed it with tea and it tastes like an Arnold Palmer. I love those. It mixes really well and doesn't taste chalky at all. Other than that, I've like Isopure too. It's clear and tastes much better than milk based Protein drinks. I hate protein too. ????

I can't stomach anything milky or replacement for milk...I use Protein to go....it's only 2.5 oz and 28g of protein. I drink half bottle of Water then pour it in....it's like having a drink....II started adding them to my morning smoothies which I use Dr Smoothies mix (mango) ice, fruits if u desire....together the one drink total 53g of protein....I buy the dr smoothie at my local ballys that has a smoothie bar....oh I forgot I also add 2tbsp of flaxseed (grounded) bought that at te Vitamin store....the dr smoothie mix gives me about ten smoothies and cost about $22....the protein to go is $36 for 24 and the flaxseed grounded is $21 for a lb bag....I have a second protein to go in my water and total over 70g of protein a day.....BTW I tried the Protein Shakes from Walmart and others....lets just say I must be near a bathroom if I ever try that again

The best Protein powder for me is the Chike brand. They also make an Iced coffee flavor that is delish. I will be able to drink that once again someday because it does have caffeine in it. I rely on the Vanilla flavor & add what I want in it. I did a lot of experimenting before my sleeve so I would not end up hating the powders.< /p>

I absolutely hate them!! They gave me a bucket worth of Protein Powder only to discover they’re chocolate flavored 🤢 ever since I got my surgery 1month ago I started hating most sweets (not including fruits) and especially chocolate 😵 I force myself to drink the Protein they gave me just because I hate wasting foods and drinks 😭

Premiere Protein has a lot of flavors and 30 g . A bit sweet but easily watered down or added to coffee etc. vanilla is least sweet and caramel is good!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
