I had exactly the same problem, but I just tried the Click Decaf espresso. I put it in my Magic Bullet with Water and ice and blended it into a Frappe style drink and it is the first thing that I was able to comfortably choke down.

I switched brands as well. Now I drink Atkins and Pure Protein ready made shakes. Atkins is less Protein per serving (15g) and pure protein (23g) It's a welcome relief from those thick shakes which were starting to make me gag.

I use Body Fortress from Walmart (dry) and found it to be very good. I use vanilla flavored and mix it with fruit in the blender usually for Breakfast. Then I use the chocolate flavored with a little Decaf coffee (or just plain) to drink. I am able to use skim milk (not lactose intolerant). Each dry scoop adds 27g of Protein not including the milk. I still have a shake or two a day, my surgery was in December.

I use Syntrax Nectar and my favorite is strawberry kiwi. I had lots of trouble finding a Protein Drink as I LOVED the Atkins shakes prior but after surgery anything milky made me nauseous. I still use Unjury too just the chicken broth one. I ordered samples originally from vitalady.com to test different juicy flavors. She has good deals and this made more sense then buyin a huge tub and then finding out I didn't like it.

I was having the hardest time too. So now I used unfavor Unjury. I put in crystal lite fruit punch. But it still had a sort of wierd smell. So I got a cup with a lid. Now I cant even tell that is protein. Even my family cant tell.

I use Premier Protein. U can get it at Sam's, costco, Walmart and Meijer. It has 30g Protein per serving 1g sugar and 160 calories and comes in a little juice box looking set up. Delicious taste :)

I've been drinking the Atkins premade shakes, but I did by Syntrax unflavored Protein. Haven't tried it yet. I still have some Body Fortress left over from pre-op that I sometimes use. Made some Protein pistachio pudding the other night with it. Yummy!

I have found my nectar strawberry kiwi to fulfill my Protein need and not disgust me. It's Water base and doesn't have after taste. It does smell like whey Protein but doesn't taste. Works for me:)

Where can I buy this or what does this look like?

I buy mine from Amazon.com for a reasonable price. I initially bought samples of the different juice Nectars at Vitalady.com. I always check with Amazon before purchasing something first but they don't have samples.

I get my Syntrax Nectar from Netrition.com. They have a flat rate shipping no matter how large the order. Price is right too. I am lactose intolerant (after surgery) and even the ones that were soy based still had milk in them. I would get highly nauseous and diahrea would soon follow. Syntrax is the only one I have found my pouch can tolerate.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
