Well I drank my first Protein drink and the taste was horrid!! I dnt know what I'm going to do for 10 days:(

You need to try some different shakes, have you tried nu-way available at wal-mart ? they might not be great but they are 42 gm of protein in 3.5 ounces, if it doesn't seem right, mix it 50 / 50 with cold water and add some ice. Isopure premixed is also a good one. When it doesn't taste right, change it up. I'm 2 weeks post op, and am doing a GNC powder mix now, it's much better when I add ice to it after mixing, it sips much better.

Does anybody know of a blog or website where people can do like Yelp! reviews on these protein drinks and other bariatric products??? There are so many to choose from. My NUT just put me on one meal replacement per day, so far I had an Unjury Banana Cream Shake - actually pretty darn good, and this morning I had a Chike Nutrition Orange Cream Shake. Also better than I expected. We can't try them all - so how can this be set up so that newbies can review before buying?????

What tastes good to one person probably won't to many others. Even one person's tastes will likely change from pre-op to post-op & even day to day.

Pre-op I was using Body Fortress chocolate Peanut Butter but, because it is higher in carbs, I tried the vanilla whey isolate & added sugar-free syrups for flavor. Post-op that vanilla stuff sat like a rock in my stomach. I ended up throwing it out & got some unflavored Protein powder at GNC while I waited for my order of Now Sports unflavored whey isolate from Amazon to arrive. Until yesterday I was still able to tolerate the Body Fortress chocolate peanut butter once a day. Last evening I could barely drink half & had to throw it out & my stomach let me know about it for several hours.

I am so looking forward to moving to pureed foods at 4 weeks post-op!

Try another and another and another until you find one you like. They are out there and good luck to you.

I've been on Syntax Nectar (vanilla, chocolate & fuzzy naval) for 3 weeks solid. I was advised to look for whey protein isolate as the first ingredient in my protein to ensure proper digestion, etc. I mix them with 1% milk and combine flavors. Unjury chicken soup flavor has also saved me from too much sweetness. You can find them online at www.unjury.com (they also have a sample pack that comes with a shaker and a thermometer). They have unflavored as well to mix in crystal lite, etc. You have to get VERY creative but you can do it! Crystal Lite flavors are great with a fruit protein flavor. You will adjust to the taste. Keep telling yourself it's temporary and you WILL get through this! Trust me - I'm 3 weeks out and it's all that's sustained me. Best of luck to you!

Ive tried alot of protein drinks and for me, Premier Chocolate and Vanilla are really good. I couldnt stand the Isopure drinks (too expensive and alot to drink for the 40g or protein). I did 2 weeks pre op diet consisting of protein drinks and bars and Im now 12 days post op on my 3 week liquid only diet. For me, I dont want to have mix my protein drinks.. I want simple and easy and cost is always a factor for me. The Premier is sold at Sams Club (probably Walmart too) and the cost is about less than $1 (about .89 cents). The bottles have a resealable cap and are 11 oz.
