I'm certainly not going to suggest going off your Protein shakes, but if you want something to break it up. BariWise makes some protein Fruit drinks. I've tried the orange and it was pretty good.

I've seen others at Bariatric Choice too, http://www.bariatricchoice.com/bariwise-bariatric-shakes-drinks-194.html?gclid=CKjy45nuz7YCFccx4AodEEkA6g

Good luck!

I used the protein powder before my surgery but couldn't stomach it after so switched to premiere protein shakes from Costco. Already mixed. The powdered ones when mixed in the blender became to foamy thus filling me up way to quick before any liquid. I add ice to my protein drinks. I hope you find some protein because you really need it.

You could add unflavored whey protein to water and SF Hawaiian punch and add some ice--zap it in the blender. Like a SF, protein-packed homemade tropical Icee. Also good with Mio orange tangerine--like a creamsicle. You can make protein ice cream with a small ice cream maker--basically make a protein shake with soy milk and follow manufacturer's instructions.

There is also the My Weight product line. I like the berry and the Pineapple Orange.

Protein is very important, but more important at this stage is to stay hydrated. I couldn't tolerate protein shakes that early out either and I just concentrated on getting my fluids in.

I liked Pantry Selections fruit protein powders. You NEED to get the protein in. It's vital for your major organs, muscles and your hair! If you don't get it in, down the road you'll have severe hair loss. Trust me!

Go get a smoothie with fruit and Protein powered soy or whey. Thats what I did when I needed a break from the crap you had to drink.

I don;t drink any protein shakes now that I get all the protein organically rather than from chemicals.

Isopure makes a fruity type of Protein drink...some flavors are better than others... I poured them into ice pop molds when I was first post-op... I still drink them with chrushed ice to make a slushie type of thing... I find they dont have as much aftertaste when I mix in a lil Crystal lite Lemon type po flavor in it...

can buy purchased at Vitamin shoppe or GNC or online

Try the liquid Lean Shakes from GNC. I lived on them for months. I get the oragnce powder and mix that with my milk, it's excellent. Taste like a dreamsickle. I drink the liquid choc. I like them a lot.

Syntrax nectar has tons of fruity flavors, and in my opinion, they are a lot yummier than IsoPure. IsoPure to me, tastes like kool-aide with a strong after taste of skim milk...Yuck! Good luck! Also, if you are craving ice, you may be iron deficient. Get your blood checked.

Ok, my response is going to be different from others, but my surgeon doesn't push protein drinks, in fact he doesn't want his patients using them. Ever. He wants people to work on getting their protein sources from food. When I asked about the lack of protein in the first few weeks, he told me my body had enough stores to last me and not to worry about it. They didn't start talking protein with us until we start solid foods at the beginning of week 5 post-op.

Someone mentioned hair loss and protein. I will say I lost a LOT of hair and I don't know if that would have been any different if I'd been on protein drinks for the first few weeks or not. I am very happy with my surgery and recovery experience. I'm happy with my pixie haircut...
