Tomorrow is the first day of my 30 day pre-op diet and I decided to make a Protein shake that was given to me as a sample before I go buy in bulk... I did NOT like it... in fact, COULDN'T finish it!

I would LOVE if anyone could give me some GOOD Protein Shake ideas that I will be able to enjoy or these 30 days are going to be MISERABLE for me!

I was thinking about buying something that's tasteless but what would I blend it with to make it tasteful???

Ideas??? Anything would be a big help! Please and thank you!

I drink the low carb Slim Fast creamy chocolate. It has 20 grams of protein and like a few grams of sugar. Try that. I tolerate that pretty well. I not much for liking protein either.

Does it keep you full though for a few hours?

I love matrix and nectar products by Syntrax.

What do you mix them with? I tried Bariatric Advantage where you only add Water -- the chocolate -- it was nasty. :/

I mix with water. Been using them for my pre op. I tried Bariatric fusion but the Protein taste is strong to me.

I like the Muscle Milk- I use the vanilla 2 scoops with 16 oz 1% milk 1 pack of orange crush drink mix and ice- tastes like a push-up pop and keeps me full.

I also have mixed the 2 scoops 16 oz 1% milk, instant coffee and ice- makes a good frape

The powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Protein is good mixed with Chicken broth

I mix half an atkins shake with mine.

Look on mybariatricpantry.com You can order sample paks and decide what you like best. My surgeon sells bariatric advantage and I use the vanilla. I haven't tried the chocolate. I really like chocolate truffle and fuzzy navel from syntrax. I order a sample of other syntrax flavors, but so far have not found one I like. I mix mine with unsweet almond milk or water. I didn't mind the thickness before surgery, but I really hate thick shakes now! It's basically just trial and error until you find what you like. Plus I found what you like before surgery may not be what you like after surgery! Good luck!

Yes, I know after surgery I might not like what I take now but Im just in need of something for my 30 day pre-op. I tried the BA Chocolate and it was nasty, I couldn't finish it. Im gonna give the Vanilla a try!

And thanks everyone for your help!!

My favorite protein is the Body Fortress Chocolate Peanut Butter. I get it at walmart. I just mix it with fat free milk. its really yummy. I also love the unjury chicken soup, and I've mixed the unjury unflavored with several different broths and soups and its not bad either. Any protein is going to take time to get used to. Its just whatever you find most tolerable.
