I had surgery on 5/6 and yet to hit my Protein goals. I have a very hard time drinking the shakes and the Isopure is disgusting. Is anyone else having this problem? What can I expect if I do not begin to hit my daily goals in the next few weeks?

Get unflavored Protein Powder and mix it in broths or dilute strain cream Soups.< /p>

Try diluting your shakes with skim milk. This is the only way I could ever drink them.

I think Syntrax Nectar tastes WAY better than Isopure.< /p>

I agree with getting unflavored Protein powder....mix it with Torani sugar free syrups milk and ice or frozen fruit....not sickly sweet.

My favorite is Torani Belgian cookie Syrup, half a frozen banana and skim milk...blend til smooth...Soo good!

Syntax nectar mixed with Greek yogurt is incredible! I've tried the Roadside Lemonade, caribbean cooler, and strawberry Kiwi. 3/4 scoop (might be able to do a full scoop, just haven't tried it) mixed with 1/2 cup non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt. The easiest way to get Protein in, in my opinion.

I use NOW Sports whey Protein Isolate unflavored and DaVinci syrups and sometimes I use banana, a peach, or a couple of strawberries. But I don't use milk except unsweetened Almond milk. Its great.

I ended up lactose intolerant after surgery. Switching to Lactose Free milk, Ensure Protein RTD, and ProtiDiet Concentrate really helped me meet my Protein goals. The lactose intolerance got better and I can now handle milk and greek yogurt again.

My doctor office has a store I bought mine from, but you can just go to Unjury website and order. They actually have advertisements all over this website, so you can just click on their website that way too.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
