I just posted a thread about this. Love it. Absolutely like lemonade and NO whey AFTERTASTE. And it's 100 % whey Protein isolate- beat Protein you can consume.

I used to be able to drink premier shakes. Now they make me sick to the point of not being able to eat for the rest of the day, or drink. I haven't been able to find the Isopure.< /p>

They gave me liquicell Protein in the hospital after surgery. It's like drinking orange kool-aid. You can buy it on Amazon in concentrate. It gives you 16 grams of Protein for 90 calories. I like that and the ProtiDiet concentrate too. Atkins has a Protein Drink called Lift that is good too. A little more expensive than the liquicell per serving.

You could also try plant based Protein powder. I found that animal based makes me extremely physically ill. The dietician suggested trying planted based because it might be an allergy to the animal based. I tried and found that I am able to tolerate and keep the plant based down so much easier. The one I use is called Vega - you never know give it a try it might help.

Have you tried unflavored GENEPRO? I heard it's awesome! You can put it in anything and you can get it off Amazon.< /p>

@@Marissa.Ann.C,

I can see why you’d be upset, but try not to panic just yet! Some types of Protein, for some people, are just awful! There’s no real rhyme or reason to it, so it’s very possible that you could absolutely hate a type of Protein (in this case, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup and unflavored) even if tons of other people like it.

I would say…keep trying. Try other brands of unflavored powder, and try other flavors and brands of chicken flavored Protein Powder. You can also look for other brands and flavors of protein Soup.< /p>

You could also try preparing your powder differently, such as adding it to milk or even coffee or tea instead of Water. You can’t have coffee post-op, but Decaf tea should still be okay.

Then there is the whole world of chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and all kinds of sweet Protein shake flavors to try. You can try powders and readymade shakes from about a million different brands. Starting with single-serve packs is a great way to try them, and you can also think about starting with the cheapest options, since more expensive ones don’t always taste better.

Good luck – you’ll find something if you keep looking long enough!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
