Just keep trying different ones until you find one that works for you. I went thru about 10 until I found 2 that I could handle. Premier Protein chocolate at SAMs or costco and the other is Isopure Dutch chocolate zero carb. Those seem to be easy on my stomach and they are not thick shakes. The thinner the better for me!

Thank you for the suggestions. I've tried about six different ones including the ready to drink ones. I'm starting to get frustrated. I agree the thiner the consistency would be far better. Thank you again!

Have you tried a scoop or half a scoop of Protein Powder in a carton of greek yougurt? I find it more palatable some days than the shakes. I'm 9 months out, and there are days that I just can't stomach any type of shake, but need to bulk up my Protein intake. vanilla yogurt with strawberry protein powder works well for me.

Syntrax offers a sample pack of their nectar Protein mixes. 15-18 packs for under $20 delivered. You have to go to their website and get the 800 number to order though.

What are you mixing it with?

I am lactose intolerant still. 5 1/2 years out. I use almond milk and it makes a big difference.

Try almond milk or lactade. Something for lactose intolerance. It made a big difference for me.

GENEPRO is fantastic! No taste, ZERO! Add it to anything, hot or cold. It does not change the texture or flavor. No aftertaste, nothing!

Another thing you can do is add a half teaspoon of sugar free Jello powder to your Protein Drink. So if you want a orange dreamcicle you could use two scoops of vanilla Protein powder, a cup of Water, a half teaspoon of orange sugar free jello powder and ice in a blender. Yum!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
