I love the amaretto hot chocolate.< /p>

Also the mushroom Soup.

I didn't like the powder juice Protein. I bought Popsicle molds and made them into Popsicles.

Have you tried the Syntrex Nectars? They are 100% whey Protein isolate, no carbs, no sugars, just ~22 Protein per serving. Some of them you mix with skim milk (although I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk) and some with Water. They also have an unflavored protein product that I am currently mixing into almost everything (having real trouble drinking more than a couple of ounces of anything) and I can't taste it, even in plain Water.< /p>

Go to www.si03.com and put your cursor over the monthly special. It'll tell you how to order their sampler pack (15 single-serving flavors for $17with shipping) so you can test out flavors and see what you like. Although you can order the sampler pack only once, you can order the 2 pound containers more cheaply from places like luckyvitamin.com

I cannot tolerate the ready-to-drink shakes. They taste like cooked protein and feel slimy; that's why I was looking at powdered WPI.

I also have major issues with Protein shakes etc.

If you like coffee at all try this, it is the only thing I have found that is not just tolerable but kinda good.

1 Caramel Premeire protien shake

1 single pack nescafe hazelnut instant coffee

Some crushed ice

Almost like it came straight from your favorite coffee shop.

Sounds delicious! I'm going to try this. Thanks for sharing.

You can use the vanilla or the chocolate Premeire too but the Caramel the best if you can find it.

If you don't get enough Protein you will lose muscle and begin to lose your hair. Lean muscle helps burn calories and the body doesn't retain Protein do we need to eat it everyday. My trainer said that I should be taking in more than the suggested 90 grams but that is impossible without shakes and bars etc. I'm 3 months out from surgery. We will get used to this.

Had the same issues. I'm 8 weeks out and gagged on every shake I tried. I'm back to Premier chocolate ones because they are tolerable but I have to force it down. BUT that's 30g of Protein in one shot! I also use the Syntex nectar in flavored Water (I love the Raspberry Lemonade Great Value flavor) so that adds another 10g of Protein. Another thing that has saved me is eating a lot of Greek Yogurt. Each one is about 11-12g of protein. I learned the hard way though that not getting your protein in will cause your weight loss to STALL.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
