So I am almost a month post op, doing really well no pain or anything my only problem is the stupid protein shakes. I have Nectar fuzzy naval and double stuffed cookie and i can't seem to make either tolerable does anyone have any suggestions of either how to make them more tasty or which ones might be better.

I really like Premier Protein or Pure Protein because they are both really light tasting and not chalky or gross. I was using a powder for a while but it just became disgusting to me, so I ended up having to switch to the pre-made shakes and I don't regret it at all.

I love Quest protein shakes and bars. So yummy and you can bake with it too! My favorite is Peanut butter and they sell it GNC.

Have you googled Bariatric shake recipes? I have many great sounding ways to modify plain shakes. I ordered this and am so glad I did as it not only has ideas but ways to work with the powder to make it the texture/consistency desired: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1480101095/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1441633999&sr=8-1π=SY200_QL40&keywords=bariatric+shakes+book&dpPl=1&dpID=41Q8WEwHzpL&ref=plSrch

Experiment. I found that blending in fruit (a half a banana) made the Protein shakes more tolerable.

I never could tolerate Protein shakes and new i would have a problem...bought the premere at costco and drank one and said hell no and returned the case.

i've tried so many and i hate them all! i have now resorted to slim fast with 1.5 cups of milk and 2 tbsp greek yogurt to dull the sweetness. the total protein comes in at just over 30 grams. 1 a day is all i can handle.

i have started eating low fat ricotta cheese with a tiny drop of tomato sauce, it has saved my life! it actually makes me happy to have 2 tbsp of that and i eat it lunch and dinner.

Unjury has been my favorite post-op! I make them in my nutrition-bullet rx with 8 oz of FairLife 2% milk and some ice to make it milkshake like. Both the vanilla and the chocolate splendor have been my fave so far. I'm going to try a tsp of creamy peanut butter in my chocolate splendor tonight. I tried the unflavored in cream of broccoli soup last night and almost vomited! I made sure the temp was below 140* and it was still gritty and clumped....never again! The chicken soup Unjury is also good!

Premiere protein @ Costco are a lifeline for me. Only qualm is i have texture issues and sometimes the protein clumps. So i have been pouring the drink throgh a sive to remove any clumps before drinking.

I used to like premier protein pre-op but hated it post-op. And all the other whey protein shakes/powders I tried. They just left a nasty after taste. I started using Vega Protein. It's a vegan protein powder with 20 grams of protein per serving, and 120 cals. I love it! It cost $24 for a 16 serving container but well worth it. I'm on my 3rd container.
