Since surgery I can't stand protein shakes! It feels like I can taste almost every freakin chemical or whatever is in it. It makes me so nauseated! I am almost 7 weeks out. I am tolerating soft foods fairly well. I prefer food to get my protein! What do you eat that you get your protein in- preferably not adding any kind of protein supplement in! thanks every one!

What kind of shakes are you drinking? Haves you tried mixing them on ice?

I have tried many! Premier protein, pure protein, isopure, lean shake 25, ensure etc. I have tried so many things. I just can't stand the taste! I've tried room temp, on ice, refridged!

Have you tried powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury? THey have some that are flavorless. I have heard they are good.

I get mine from food--FF greek yogurt, FF cottage cheese, etc. Note that I a a year and a half out which is why it is easier to get all my Protein from food. Early on, it is difficult.

I have found that it is impossible to get all of the required Protein from just food. I mean physically impossible to eat what you need to eat then drink what you need to drink in the 16 hours you have to do it each day. Like you, I have tried at least 6 different brands and I prefer Quest and AMP, both found at GNC. Good luck!

I feel your pain! I've never had a tasty one that is pre-made. If you have a blender, make your own using protein powder (I like Muscle Milk Light, Chocolate). I put two scoops in the container and equal parts water and ice, totaling about12 ounces, and blend. If the ingredients are cold you will get a slurry consistency. Not as good as Dairy Queen but definitely decent.

Have you considered trying HMR chicken soup? It is very high protein, low fat and tastes really good! I used this HMR program many years ago and was very effective. They also have some of the best tasting high protein oatmeal I have ever tried. You can order the foods separately. As you advance in your diet, it can be modified. There are tons of yummy tasting recipes. http://hmrprogram.com/static-assets/html/HMRFoods/HMRChickenSoup.html
