The Protein shakes have never been my favorite thing, but in the early days and weeks post-op, they are an absolute necessity. Just think of them as medicine or body fuel that you just have to intake and not something that you have to like or enjoy.

Good luck!

Thanks so much I think the my problem is that the sweetness is getting to me how far are you

Get unflavored and add it to other liquids. Try the clear protein waters. I like the thinking of it as medicine idea. It is the best medicine for you right now. This too shall pass.

I was sleeved 11/8 and since I already had difficulties with sweets (they just never did taste all that spectacular), my surgeon and NUT recommended that I take my Protein by adding unflavored protein to broth for my main meals then have a half portion of a sweet Protein shake if I thought I wanted a sweet thing at the end of the day.

I had ordered the GENEPRO unflavored protein and it's okay, but I think that I might have preferred the Beneprotein by Nestle that the hospital gave me post op.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions I will look into you guys are awesome

I hated Isopure unflavored... but I buy g6 sport vanilla with 25 grama if Protein and it's great esp in non fat milk. I get it at GNC where if you become a member for free, you get quite a discount as it is one of the more expensive powders. It's sweetened with all natural non artificial stevia. I'm allergic to tge artificial sweeteners so this has been a life saver. They also have chocolate.

I never tried unflavored other other then the highly recommended isopure and it was sooo gross but I have wolf taste buds!! LoimI'm not kidding either!

I still drink a Protein Drink even though I'm on purees now

Yes I am 2 days after surgery on the 9th .and the Protein shakes taste like chalk now..

I'm in love with Ancient Nutrition Bone broth Protein. The flavors aren't too strong and it dissolves completely. Consistency of drinking water!

My dietician recommended Cyborg Ultra Leaan Protein powder to add to Water to help with your protein intake. It's an easier way to get it all in through the day. Just make sure you take a tablespoon of olive oil and one of lemon juice mixed together once a day to help your body process all of the protein. It can cause gallstones which hurt as much as labour pains but in the top of your belly. Hoping you find a happy medium chiquiroxy.

Does coconut oil have the same effect?

@@Butterflywarrior I HATED Isopure unflavored, it was disgusting. I use GENEPRO, but I'm going to keep the one you use in mind just in case Genepro becomes intolerable as well.

Not sure about coconut oil, it wasn't popular 16 years ago and the lady who told me about it was in her 60's. You could give it a try and let us know.My GP was told olive oil as well but not lemon juice. The olive oil takes the lemon juice straight to the gall bladder like on a slippery slide. The lemon juice breaks down the gallstones. I mixed mine together in a medicine cup. From first scan and diagnosis 7 stones the size of jaffas to surgery 6 months later, 7 stones as small as peppercorns.
