I had the same problem, every shake I tried was disgusting and would gag me. My doctor suggested mixing them with skim, soy or almond milk (I was using water). I have been using Almond Delight no sugar added with Unjury chocolate Splendor and it actually tastes good. I'm also just making 4 ounces at a time which mentally helps me too, I just have to drink them 6 times a day instead of 3. But this way it's really only 4 or 5 swallows. I also like the chicken Soup by unjury too. It's not bad. Bariatric Advantag has a latte flavored shake that's pretty decent, just don't mix with any of them with Water. Today is my 10th day on the shakes. The first 3 days was the hardest and I still miss chewing. My surgery is Monday morning so I have a few more weeks to go on the shakes. Good luck to you, hopefully you will find a shake that you will enjoy.

Many have said Unjury is their fave. Have to order it. Pure Protein from Publix in premix bottles is good and convenient to have. Good luck

I haven't found many Protein mixes that I do like. Even some of the favorites on the board weren't doing it for me. The only one I love and look forward to is Syntrax Peanut Butter cookie! I mix it with unsweetened vanilla almond milk or skim milk and it actually tastes like a peanut butter cookie. Nashua Nutrition website offers the widest selection of samples I have found yet. I highly recommend ordering samples and trying them before committing to a large and expensive tub of Protein Powder that you might not enjoy.

Premier Protein from costco or SAMs has my vote. chocolate specifically, I have spent a small fortune on powders only to find out that I don't like any of them, the premier Protein chocolate is like drinking rich chocolate milk. The vanilla however was to sweet for me, ever since my surgery I cannot tolerate anything that tastes too sweet.

Good luck!

FYI the vanilla premier shake, with a squirt of SF Davinci Carmel flavoring is to die for..... they are seriously keeping me going.

I like the Vega One powder - the chocolate is great, and it comes in sample packs so you can try before investing $30+ in a big tub. Also, for anyone else that's lactose intolerant as I am, be sure to check the ingredients -- some of the "whey" intensive ones are too "milk-y" for my digestive system, just a heads-up -- if you have Sprout's nearby, that's where I get mine, but I'm sure it's lots of other places and probably online as well...

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
