I am currently 4 weeks post op and I had the same problem. I tried several different kinds and all of them made me sick to my stomach. I finally talked to a friend who had it done years ago and she told me she lived on Gas X so I tried it before I drink my shakes and now things are better.

Try Premier Protein...available at costco and Sam's Club. They're not very expensive (18 for around $23) and you get a whopping 30g of protein.

Nashua Nutrition allows you to buy samples from various vendors. Check out the link below.

For the last ten years I had a protein shake for most breakfasts. Now I am 10 days out of surgery for. The sleeve. I can barely stand to look at it. It makes me nauseous

I second the Premier Protein recommendation. I also really like the carb-free Creamy vanilla powder put out by Isopure.

If you're looking at all for Protein Bars (down the road, maybe?) I recommend Quest. They're really great tasting and much better nutrition-wise than a lot of their counterparts. I love the company -- they have the BEST customer service and will send out a few free sample bars if you email them or live chat with them:

I really love Wonderslim Tangy Orange protein drink, which tastes like orange juice to me, and I also love their mint hot chocolate. I can't really do shakes of any kind anymore, but you can turn their shakes into pudding, which I don't mind at all. Let me go find the link... ;)

Totally normal. I had to thin my ready to drink shakes with water in the beginning. Also Unjury was a good powder that I could add to other drinks like Crystal light.

Premier Protein is my favorite. There are also other options that I use sometimes that are not traditional Protein shakes. BariatricChoice.com has a lot of protein products that I used early on. I really liked the protein puddings. They were easy to get down and didn't taste any different. I also like the protein hot chocolate. They are good for these cold days!

My program recommended Atkins RTD shakes, they come in a lot of flavors. Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder in Fuzzy Navel tastes like orange juice when mixed with water.

I am six weeks out and like to start my day with Unjury Chocolate Splendor, PB2 Protein powder, ice and skim milk. Tastes great and about 34 grams of protein

I have not tried it but heard others talk about adding milk powder to skim milk or almond milk and get 15 grams of protein

I am also a fan of Premier Protein. I LOVED it before surgery and I was my go to protein drink. After surgery it was a little thick for me but I found if I put it over ice it thins it out a little. I do have to drink it Slowly!
