I am having surgery on November 25th. I would like to have some advice on which protein powders/drinks are the best for after surgery. I don't want to feel completely grossed out by what I'm drinking. Any advice?

Lots of recipes can be found on the blog, The World According to Eggface.

I really like the Bariatric Advantage brand shake powders. It was what my surgeon had me on pre-op diet. I've just continued to use up what was left over from my pre-op diet. The Orange Cream flavor is my favorite, tastes just like an Orange Julius from Dairy Queen. The reason I like them is due to the mild taste (not too sweet).

I've tried several different "Ready to Drink" Protein shakes (Oh Yeah!, EAS, Muscle Milk, Pure Protein) and they all tasted too sweet for me. My favorite is Premier Protein (chocolate flavor). I can only find them at Sam's Club, but they may be available elsewhere as well.

Genepro protein has saved me since surgery as I could not handle the sweetness of the shakes. It's tasteless and mixes well into anything.

Love Premier Protein Chocolate Shakes!!! I also bought Unjury Unflavored Protein to add more protein to anything. Currently, I am drinking Muscle Milk Light and adding 20 grams of protein(Unjury Unflavored) to make a 40g of protein shake in the morning. I love the Muscle Milk Light too! I drank these prior to my surgery for a few years.

Ray Robb's Egg White Protein Powder is awesome. With lactose intolerance and celiac, this was the answer to my prayers post-surgery. eBay has the best bargain and prefer unflavored.

I like the Syntrax Nectars. Wide variety of flavors, including unflavored.
