M still pre op and Can't stand protein shakes. I've tried many, and I think they're all gross. What will happen after I have my surgery in January if I still can't stomach drinking them ?! Are there other options?

You need to talk to your nutritionist. Many want people to move on to protein found in real food pretty quickly, but you have to be able to take in high levels of protein in small quantities of fluid. Have to tried the Syntrax Nectar unflavored? It really is indistinguishable. I'm mixing it into cream soups and broth, cottage cheese, water with a Crystal Lite package, etc. It mixes thinly, and the flavor is unnoticeable.

I used Bariatric Advantage and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury for Protein shakes. Mixed with skim milk and used flavorings like butterscotch and piña colada with the vanilla shakes. Mixed with ice in my Magic Bullet smoothie maker and they were like a milkshake.

Unjury also makes protein soups. And you can mix their unflavored or strawberry sorbet flavors with sugar-free Jello. Order the individual packs so you can try them out before getting the large tubs.

Also, add some broth WITH SALT. It counts as Water and the salt will give you energy.

Good luck on your journey. It's going to be amazing!
