Dilute it down and add ice. Also check out some of the Protein drinks like Isopure Nocarb or Syntrax nectar.

You can dilute it. You can try different brands. You can try different flavors. But, you have to get in your Protein.

When I was still on Clear liquids, I liked the ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates. Early out I used them undiluted over ice. Now I add them to Water and/or water and crystal light.

I also like Syntrax nectar. In particular Fuzzy Navel.

Try protein Soups like ProtiDiet tomato basil or creamy chicken or powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup.

Try Premier Protein.

Try using the protein powder and then make as much watery mixture is you need. Maybe this way you can get it to a consistency that works for you. Remember the blender is needed for the protein powder to give it a good mix.

if I put one scoop in 8oz I can drink it but not in 4oz it's too thick

I did the Bariatric advantage shakes pre-op but for the first two weeks post op those were actually too thick. So I just resorted to premier protein vanilla (I could not fathom chocolate at that point). I drank about 4 oz at a time over the course of an hour in my little medicine cup shot glasses. Good luck!

I just bought a box of premier protein shakes from BJs and they're not super thick! For 30 grams of protein in a small shake I was pleasantly surprised and they can certainly be watered down a bit if need be.

Congrats on your surgery, so exciting. Mine did get denied as my insurance had filed bankruptcy????

My Dr will submit to my new carrier on 12/1. As another member mentioned try the Syntrax protein mix's, they mix very well with water & are lite. My favorite is the fuzzy navel flavor, got it at Vitamin Shoppe. Best of everything to you.

GNC is having a sale. I was there last night. The bottle were buy 3 get one free. I also use the ibotta app (referral code blyssq)and they are offering $5 cashback when you spend $25 at GNC.

Regardless of what brand you try, always save your receipts. Any unused Protein can be returned with a valid receipt.
