On Tuesday I have to start my Pre Op Diet and I've been sampling some different Protein shakes and powders. Everything I have tried has either left an awful after taste all day, or made me really sick to my stomach to the point I felt like I couldn't hold them down. I don't like the unjury powders at all and can't even handle them. I'm hoping to find something I really like this weekend so I can stock up on it for my 2 week diet and not have to deal with all of this during that time..I'm sure I'll already be feeling pretty crappy from the huge change in diet.

Any recommendations? If you know the amount of protein in your suggestion let me know in the comments, and where you bought it. Thanks so much!

Most people like Premier Protein shakes. That's what I use. I buy mine at Kroger, but Amazon, costco, Sam's, and some Walgreen's have it.

Everybody's different, but my suggestion is not to stock up too much. I tried several different types and even after settling on one that tastes pretty good.......after a while you might get to where you can't deal with the taste or consistency any longer.

I think it might just be constant continued use causes boredom and subsequent distaste. You may find you will need to change things up periodically.

I dislike Unjury too, although they are pretty popular. I do like the Premier Protein shakes that Magtart likes. I have been also buying vanilla whey protein powder and adding things to jazz it up like berries, sugar free syrups, cinnamon, coffee, etc. I started out with Target's house brand powder which is $18 for a jar, because it was not such a huge investment if I did not like it. Turns out I do like it, and also Cytosport's vanilla protein powder from Costco, about $50 for a big bag, tastes quite similar to me. Good luck!

Have u tried the 1 walmart sells by Body Fortress? Its pretty good n I mix it with skim milk.

Ditto on Premier Protein ready to drink. Post op I wasn't that keen on them. I prefer Syntrax Nectars like Fuzzy navel, Lemon Tea, Cappachino, roadside lemonade

Check under food and Nutrition section for Protein. Lots of advise there and reviews.

I bought Premium whey Protein at sams club. I preferred vanilla and would add raspberry or caramel sugar free syrup. I also used crystal light, any flavor. It tastes much better ice cold. MY NUT also allowed cream based Soups with skim milk. Using milk brought the protein up to 12 or 13. I would strain out the mushrooms from the cream of mushroom, and the chicken from the cream of chicken. I added Italian seasoning to tomato. Theses were great from lunch and supper and a nice break from all the sweet stuff.

Another thing the NUT let us do was eat greek yogurt, again straining out the fruit chunks. The guidelines I received were 15g protein, 5 g fat, and less than 10 sugar.

The combination was enough to keep from getting bored.

Prior to my surgery I LOVED Premier Protein, after I despised them, my taste buds totally changed! Now post op I get EAS and they have some great flavors. They come in four packs and I personally choose the Stawberry Cream as my first choice and second choice is Cafe Caramel. Hope you find one you like! Don't stock up to much as your taste buds MAY change. Wishing you best of luck!!

Body Fortress...Flavors:Cookies n Cream & Chocolate Peanut Butter, avail @ Walmart and Amazon.

I have recently started my pre-pre-op diet and I have a totally irrational aversion to powdered drink mixes, to the point that I have put off having the surgery because that was a requirement. I was told about a Protein drink from bipro that is an unflavored product. I have used it several times now and I don't have any trouble with it at all. I make smoothies and mix it with Vitamin Water in a whisk bottle. It really is unflavored!!!! I ordered it from their website and it took about a week to get to me. www.biprousa.com. It is also on Amazon, but it is the same price and ships from the manufacturer, so would be just the same as ordering it direct.

Do they make protein that ia fruit punch

Do they make protein that ia fruit punch? Why they so sweet.

Try Chike u can order a sample pack online for $9.99. It was my absolute favorite out of them all but I have been having one for Breakfast for the last month then was having them 2-3 times a day On this liquid pre-op diet so I've gotten burned out but prior to that they were absolutely amazing to me without the after taste.
