Protein Shakes

I'm 3 days post op and the smell and taste of my PP shakes is making me sick. What can I add to it to make it where I might can get some down? I added Unjury to my crystal lite. Didn't like it. Helpful advice please!

  • @@sbagby1960 I think the best thing to do is sit down and reread your Bariatric Program's suggestions. At three days I was still on clear liquids, and I was told to stay away from straws forever.

  • Thanks you!

  • I'm 11 days post op. Try drinking with a lid and a straw. That way you don't smell it. I've noticed that my smell in general is now hypersensitive.

I was told to stay away from straws too. Also not to drink Muscle Milk because it has too much sugar

They have 100 cAlorie muscle milk now, and it is very tasty...to me anyways

i just tasted the 100 calorie muscle milk as well it actually has no sugar and its the best I've tasted. However its very expensive, it runs a little over $3.00 for 14 oz, any suggestions where to get it cheaper

I was having a bit of a hard time with the shakes being too thick too. One of the things I did yesterday was to blend the shake in the blender early in the day and then let it sit for a bit before I drank it. That killed some of the frothiness in it which made it better. I got the Isopure drinks today like so many have suggested, I got a green tea with lemon which to me tastes like my normal sweet tea I used to have so I am good with it, but I can see where alot of people would find it too sweet.

My doctor said no straws forever. I found the isopure Colombian coffee protein shake really good. Tastes like iced coffee

Day 8 postop with a two week liquid Protein diet I was over shakes too.

In an effort to avoid Protein Shakes I have purchased an unflavored Protein powder. I have been able to mix it with Soups and broths with no change to the flavor or texture of the Soup or broth. It made beef broth look a little bit creamy, The flavor was unchanged. It is the best way i have found to get 24gm of protein without a shake.
