Same here :-( I've been pushing myself since june 4th and its just not working... I'm able to get all my liquids.. can't wait for tuesday when I'm finally at the mushy stage!

I might be crazy but I've actually started drinking a protein shake for breakfast and I'm not having surgery till 7/18. Try mint extract. Or instant deaf coffee 1/2 tsp. Or a tsp of sugar free jello with the shake. The was a post in the nutrition section under protein shakes that had 50 or more recipes.

There is definitely a huge difference in shakes out there. My RN recommended a few that you can only find on-line: Unjury, Chike and Big Train. These are so much better than what I could find locally and I actually drank them! Also Jay Robb Tropical Dreamsicle (available at Vitamin Shoppe and GNC) is very good.

I was sleeved on May 15th. I have yet to be able to drink a protein shake. They make me sick and I was drinking them before the surgery just fine. My doc said that some people don't tolerate them well. I just focus on getting my protein elsewhere. I am doing great and down 50 pounds. Hang in there and don't stress yourself out. That was actually an order from my doc Don't stress yourself out and listen to your body we are all different."

I have the same problem. Today my hubby bought me ISOPURE and I think I found something I can drink. It tastes like koolaid and it has 40 grams of protein

I buy my IsoPure at GNC (In store) or online on Amazon.com

I feel in love with the Atkins shakes, and I just add a scoop or two of the Bariactic Advantage protein powders to increase the protein. Also a good option is to buy the chocolate or vanilla soy milks and add your protein powder to them directly. If you're going for pre-packaged shakes, that may be the issue. You can do a lot just mixing on your own and they have much better flavor.

I tried the isopure the apple melon...it came back up... I'm just gonna stick to what makes me.

I HATE protein! It makes me sick to my stomach, also! I found one shake that I can take, but it takes all day to try and get it down. It is premier protein, I got it at Sam's and it has 30 g. I am able to eat yogurt now. The best one so far is Dannon Light and fit GREEK. They have strawberry, blueberry, and vanilla. They have 80 cals. and 12g of protein. I eat 3 a day right now to get my amount of protein. Much better then the shakes and powder.

I tried the mix my own it made me sick... tomorrow I advance hopefully somwthinf agrees with me

unjury has been the best for me SO FAR!

The unflavored mix in Minute Maid 15-cal Cherry Limeade or the strawberry Sorbet mix in Water with Crystal Light Lemonade are my definite go to drinks.

I also use the chicken Soup flavor when I need a quick meal

If you can add unsweetened coconut and/or almond milk it really can help sometimes. I would mix half Water and half of an unsweetened non-dairy milk & it would help me get through the Pure Protein tub (that I couldn't bring myself to just toss out).

I haven't tried it, but I've heard the nectar brand is pretty easy going down for a lot of folks.

I also was sleeved on the 11th and i can't do the protein shakes they make me sick to my stomach. I did however try the Special K protein drinks and can tolerate them better the down side is they only have 10 grams of protein in them.
