Ok, I am post-op 9 days and I have to say, I am sick to death of protein shakes! None of the powders taste good to me. I would rather starve than try to choke them down. I can just barely tolerate Premier Protein chocolate shakes. Anyone have any suggestions?

Try:

Isopure Protein flavored Water (I found at GNC)

High protein shots (I found at Walmart & GNC)

I'm having the same problem! Is this the actual name of the potein shots at Wal-Mart?

The shots I got from Walmart is Body Fortress Super Protein Shot and it contains 26 gm of protein. GNC has a Whey Protein Shot with 42 gm of protein.

Try dressing up the protein shake by adding some different flavors. I would add a few slices of banana and PB2 powder to my chocolate chike. Very good-but I drank mine with a straw because the smell of the protein powder grossed me out. Also, on the blog theworldaccordingtoeggface.com, she has recipes for protein shakes. Bottom line, you need it, start looking at it as a medication and take it.

I agree with Doreen70. Adding things to the shake has helped me tremendously. Bananas are great. i even put a little frozen mango in one. Nice on a hot day. :-) My problem now is the Isopure drinks. I can't tolerate them at all now. Before surgery, they were fine. I even did a taste test and all of them make me nauseous now. :-(

My favorite so far is the Nectar chocolate truffle. I mix 1 scoop in about 10 oz of water then set in in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight. That way it is completely dissolved. When I'm ready to drink it I add about 1/2 cup,of crushed ice and stir. Then I sip this over 30 minutes. It is very thin and easy to drink. The thicker shakes make me feel queezy. Also the Nectar Carribian Cooler is good mixed with half light orange juice and water. The key for me was letting it sit in the fridge to completely dissolve.

I bought a protein powder sampler from mybariatricpantry.com. Some of the shakes were like drinking dessert! They have puddings, sweet drinks, coffees/cappuccinos, oatmeal .... I haven't ordered them yet but I'm betting it's ok!

Thank you for all of the suggestions! I will go shopping tomorrow and get some samples. Hopefully I will find something that I like. Unfortunately, I am still on the full liquids so I can't add banana but I could add banana flavoring. I had thought that maybe the Nectar protein shakes were not cold enough and maybe if I mixed them in a blender, but I am worried that they will be too fizzy then. I like the idea of refrigerating them. Again, thank you!

My doc wanted me on skim milk for the first 14 days. It has 8-9 gms Protein per cup- it just might get you through.

My tastes are changing weekly. Lately, I can tolerate nectar roadside lemonade and lemon tea. Also, unjury is sitting well right now, too.

There's a brand of protein shot called protica. 2.9oz and 25g protein. I ordered some from amazon. They haven't come yet, but several of my friends say they're actually really good

I found Cellucor super sport at GNC it is a performance isolated whey Protein. It has 30 grams protein per serving and when mixed with skim or 2% milk that adds 8 more grams of protein. Anyway, I bought vanilla based on info from clerk and it taste just like blue bell vanilla no sugar added ice cream. No joke!!! I loved it. It is very smooth and no chalky taste or after taste. They also have milk chocolate in that same brand and the clerk told me if you mix it with almond milk it taste like having a glass of chocolate milk made with quick.

Note: if you have a GNC near you, go in and talk with them about what is going on, they are trained to help with that and most of them use the products (the guys and girls at my GNC are great helps). Hang in there!!!!

Unjury chocolate spendor protein shake works for me
