Hi all I am 1 week post op. had my surgery February 11th. I started full liquids today which includes protein supplements. I just tried Nectar roadside lemonade and I nearly gaged from the taste. What protein drinks don't have that funny protein taste. Is it better I go for one that is already made or should I mix one my self. Please help.

I have not heard many good things about that flavor. I like Bariatric Advantage vanilla with almond milk and a little cinnamon. It is really thick though. Syntrax fuzzy navel is good. You'll have to keep trying until you find one you like. Bariatricpantry.com has sample packs you can order.

Finding the right Protein that you like can be challenging. When I make my own, I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored protein and a magic bullet. You can go either the fruity route or chocolate. I like both. For fruit, I buy all my Fav fruits, wash and freeze then when I get home. Some fruit smoothies I make are frozen strawberry, mango, pear, some splenda, splash of Water and Protein powder. U can use veggies if you like. For chocolate, I use 4-8oz of 1% milk, pack of no sugar added hot chocolate mix, Splenda, protein powder and ice. For pre made shakes, I like core power chocolate.

I got nectar double cookie and mixed it with nod at milk or sugar free soy was good also tried Nectar strawberry kiwi was also good

Also I got the Unjury chicken soup is good I also added it to cream of chicken soup this was preop when your allowed creamy soup which gives. You more protein

My current Breakfast of choice is vanilla Greek non-fat yogurt (6 oz) mixed with a scoop of the Syntrax double stuffed cookie. I divide it in to 4 serving so 1.5 ounces was about 9 grams of Protein.....doesn't sound that impressive but it is only 1.5 ounces....

I also like the syntrax fuzzy navel, but it has to be over tons of ice and I sip slowly. I just do not care for the protein taste though, it's a struggle!!!!!

I tried the powder protein and couldn't drink it. So I drink the Costco brand premier protein. It has 30 oz protein per box.

I have found that the Isopure premixed glass bottles mixed half and half with a flavored Water have a lot less of that icky taste. I buy the grape frost, take 10 oz of it and mix it with 4 oz grape Gatorade G2 and 6 oz of grape propel.

I also have found that Lean Dessert Protein really doesn't have the same protein after taste as some of the others. I've tried the Fresh Cinnamon Roll and the chocolate Fudge pudding.

I like the Syntrax nectar White Chocolate Truffle mixed with 1c unsweetened almond milk, a few splashes of the caramel DaVinci sugar free syrup (or toryani), and 1 c water well shaken and served over crushed ice. You can get samples of some of the nectar Proteins and single bottles of the isopure at Vitamin Shoppe.

I love the brand biotech. The chocolate is great with some Peanut Butter and the vanilla mixed in great!

I hate protein drinks too...today I really enjoyed mine. Vanilla cream pure protein from walmart (premixed) 2 oz sugar free coconut coffee syrup and 2 oz over the moon fat free milk...it was the bomb.The premixed tends to be a little more expensive but for me well worth it of I can get it down without gagging I also experimented with the frosty chocolate with a little peanut butter and 4 oz fat free milk and it was good too...30 grams of protein in one sitting.

single serve isopure is HIDEOUS

actually prefer snytrax over isopure.

Jillian Michaels Whey protein - chocolate- is really good. Downside is it only has 15g of protein so you would have to have more in a day.

I use a protein powder called magnum. I recently discovered the best protein shake I have ever had: 1/2 cup of vanilla silk soy beverage, 1 scoop of magnum whey isolate vanilla protein powder, 1/3 banana, 1 teaspoon of peanut butterm I add my benefibre and biotin capsule to it as well and blend it. It makes just over 1/2 cup and has 35.5 grams of protein in it.

Thanks for all the ideas everyone. I found I like the mint cookie syntrax with skim milk. Also the pure protein is good for when I don't have my mixer handy

Designer whey chocolate or peanut butter and they have great recipes
