I am 8 days post op and am not getting nearly enough protein. I was drinking Premiere but can no longer tolerate them. I sip at Isopur but really want something with substance. I have the unflavored protein powder by Pur but am tired of putting it in broths. I don't know what else to try and i have 2 more weeks of liquids to go! Any suggestions?

Go get Nectar chocolate truffle and and a product called PB2. One scoop of nectar and two tablespoons of pb2 powder in a shaker bottle. Tastes like a liquid Reese peanut butter cup a little thicker and no "protein shake after taste" whatsoevr

I couldn't handle them by that time too! Try mixing your unflavored powder into Crystal Light or even sugar free Jello. Have you tried the sugar-free Instant Breakfast? That was less "Protein powder" tasting to me and I could handle it better. Not a lot of protein by itself but added to milk it was a decent amount and filling.

I am two weeks in and I can not stand the protein nor am I getting enough I need some other ideas also

I am two weeks in and I can't stand the protein either and is in need of alternatives. I can not hold anything down yet...help!!

I ordered the cookbook from the Bariatric foodie that has tons of recipes for different shakes. She uses sugar free coffee syrups,PB2, and sugar free pudding mixes to "spice up" the powders. I have a bunch of stuff on order and can't wait for something different other than premier shakes.

I am also having a hard time getting enough protein in. I cannot stand the smell of the protein drinks anymore. I need some different ideas also.

I am 2 days post op and just made some cream of wheat with a little bit of cinnamon and Stevia to give it some flavor. I added some of my isopure unflavored protein powder. It's delicious! This is all I've tried so far since I'm still a newbie lol but I hope it helps!

Hi folks, i have only had 1 protein drink and that was when i was in hospital, the taste lingers in my mouth even now.Just thinking about protein powder makes me gag.Rang my dietician and she said i could make my own.I use plain greek yoghurt,skimmed milk,skimmed milk powder.I bought some sugar free soda-stream syrups,cocoa powder dissolved in boiling water,strong coffee(my UK doctor allows this)and some nice tart frozen fruit whizzed up in my magic bullet plus a little sweetnener in any combination i feel like.Great i feel like i am in a cocktail bar.Have discovered the recipe thread today and oh boy you folks have it all covered.pippinleicester.

I'm having orotein issues also bought some stage 1 baby food awful!! It's tough my liquid intake is good though...any ideas??

GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder will save you! You can add it to anything! I mean that! I add to crystal light, pudding, shakes, Soups, cream of wheat, anything puréed. You have to order it but it's gonna save my life!

I'm getting some decaf sugar free coffee mix and I'll have one each morning with my genepro and almond coconut milk. Awesome!

I also use the bariatric foodie cookbook and love it. I too could not stand any of the protein shakes out there. The recipes are simple and the shakes and smoothies are tasty. I got mine through Amazon also.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I really appreciate them!

I never thought the stuff was perfect, but I had to do it to get the Protein. I could find a zillion things to complain about, for sure. But mostly I'm so grateful Ive had the surgery and am down 40 lbs since the liquid diet.

I blend fruit in my shakes, its very tasty

I am still pre-op but was having a real hard time getting my protein during liquid diet. I discovered Unjury chicken soup flavored protein powder. I mix it in chicken broth and really love it. No protein powder taste at all.
