Has any one else have a trouble finding a protein drink to drink. So far the only one i like is Isopure but i no i need more options for after surgery and when i go on my liquid diet before surgery. It is really sad but i have really picky taste buds all the milky products i HATED !! Even the milkshake version of Isopure i hated please if anyone can recommend a few i should try i would love it :-)

I have been using MRM and I think it is really good. Not chalky or powdery. You can add sugar free syrups too which gives you a different taste. I bought it on Amazon.

I don't mind the Premier Protein drinks you can get at almost any store, I also don't mind the muscle milk..I purchased the Matrix brand of protein mixes online and they are good as well, they have a delicious mint chocolate chip flavor if you like that..Everyone is different with their tastes though, because I don't really like the Isopure..Just keep trying different ones until you find one you like..Good luck

Trader Joe's Soy Vanilla protein powder is what I've been using. It's not the most tasty (I've been putting in some DaVinci sugar free syrups) but they go down really well.

I like Jay Robb protein powder in addition to the isopure. They're both good and come in a lot of fruity flavors. You can mix with stuff like crystal light, vitamin water zero, or diet iced tea. You can even mix with water.

The only protein drinks I have been able to keep down are the Premier Nutrition chocolate shakes. I have one every morning for breakfast. Just picked up 4 cases from Costco this weekend.

just to update everyone i haven't tried the shakes with syrup yet but I plan it but i have tried the special k protein drink strawberry banana it has 10g of protein and 190 calories. I have very picky taste and i would very much recommend it to all of you ! its great :-)

Glad you found something you like. Just an idea... would it be possible for you to mix in a half a scoop of an unflavored protein powder into that to up your protein (10g just doesn't seem like a lot for a protein drink). Remember you are gonna have a very tiny tummy and have to get in a lot of protein (65-80g) So be creative on how to get in the most "bang for your buck" as far as how much your tummy can hold in a day.

Keep experimenting! :)

How much is a case of Premier? I was at Costco this weekend but totally forgot to look for it.

It was $24 for a case of 18 last week. They were on a pallet near the pharmacy at my Costco.

I have been using the Unjury brand and I like everyone that I have tried. It tastes great and it is medical protein that is pure no sugar or fillers 90 calories and 21 grams of protein per scoop. You need to try it and I hope you like it. Good luck

Unjury Chicken Soup flavor was very good. Their Vanilla was very good too. Six Star chocolate from Wal Mart (whey protein isolate) is very good too.
