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.< /p>

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

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... ;)

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

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.< /p>

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!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
