I'm pre-op scheduled for the 28th. I just tried my first protein shake and it was DISGUSTING! I tasted a strawberries and cream Muscle Milk. From what I hear, it's one of the better tasting ones. I don't know how I'm going to be able to do this. My question is this.... Has anyone been able to get their protein in without the shakes? Any suggestions for alternatives?

Not gonna lie, it is hard. After surgery, your taste buds will probably change anyway. Everyone says to get the unflavored powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and add it to Soup and shakes. I haven't tried it but I drink the Muscle Milk. It isn't as bad to me as some of the others. They have some Isopure drinks at GNC that are in glass bottles kind of like Gatorade. They are Clear liquids. I have tried the apple melon and it is good. That may be an option. I think it has 20 grams Protein. Good luck!

Nope. I am almost 17 months post op and usually have 1 Protein shake or drink per day. It's a quick and easy way to do low carb high protein. Try Premier Protein. I also like Atkins Advantage either the caramel or mocha latte. I also really like chike coffee flavored. Another go-to for me is bariwise protein hot chocolate. It tastes delicious. You can't even tell it's a protein product

Try GenePro. You can get it on Amazon. It is unflavored, you can mix it with anything. Even HOT. you only use a Tbsp to get 30g protein so it doesn't make your drinks thick or change the texture of your food. I have put it in mashed potatoes, cr of wheat, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc.

My favorite is: 10-12 ounces of unsweetened vanilla almond milk

1Tbsp GenePro

1tsp instant coffee

2tsp unsweetened baking cocoa

2 pkgs Stevia

I can't stand those thick drinks, yuck. But this is yummy, I have one everyday.
