I need advice. I can't find a Protein Shake I can keep down I tried nectar (all flavors) also Beneprotein. Now I'm trying Atkins lift and the after taste is horrible. I cant keep it down. I already talked to my Doctor and he told me to hold my nose and drink it. But doesnt help. So hopefully someone can help me what Protein shake i can drink. By the way I had my gastric bypass surgery on Dec 5th. TIA

Premier is pre-mixed. After surgery, it was the only thing I could stand. Do you tolerate milk OK? My paperwork suggested something called "double milk" which is powdered nonfat milk mixed into regular skim milk with a blender. Also, Fairlife milk has more Protein than regular milk which can help. Also, try mixing the powders with more water/milk than it calls for. Or, alternatively, mixing it with less to make a pudding consistency that you might find different enough to tolerate. Just play with it and try different things. I also had good luck with putting unflavored Protein powder in chicken broth/bouillon (just mix it with warm Water in a blender first, then mix that into the hot liquid to avoid clumping). I also did well freezing the fruit juice "clear" Protein drinks into ice pops and getting them down that way early on.

I like ice col Premier Vanilla. I add a few drops of rum extract to make it taste like "egg nog" or coconut extract to make it taste like a "pinacolada."

Do you live near a costco? They carry Premier Protein there. It's the only one i tried pre-op and am still on it post-op. I only bought the chocolate and that's the one i drink, but they gave me the vanilla while i was in the hospital and it was ok, but it's way too sweet for my liking. To me it felt like i was drinking coffee Mate. That was with ice too lol.

If you want to try a small case first, Walmart carries all 5 flavors. So far i've only tried the two mentioned above, but they also have strawberries n cream, bananas n cream, and caramel.

On the list my surgeon's office gave me they recommend, Premier Protein, Muscle Milk, EAS, and Isopure.

I hope you can find something you like. Best of luck to you!

Watching this thread for suggestions.

I bought a bunch of Premier Protein shakes before my surgery because I liked it.

Now it tastes like chemicals to me and I have a great deal of trouble drinking it.

Why don't you get some of the unflavored Protein Powder or talk to your doc about prescriptfit shake powder in chocolate.

I found the perfect shakes!

I use the Quest Protein powder packs. Come in your normal flavors and yummy ones like salted Carmel. THEN I stumbled across the sugar free syrups that Starbucks uses at World Market (Walmart type stores usually only carry vanilla, raspberry and Carmel) BUT I got s'mores, cinnamon vanilla, brown sugar bourbon, Belgian sugar cookie, Carmel, chocolate ALL sugar free. So I add a small amount to my shakes. I even do the premier chocolate or vanilla and put it in blender with some ice and these flavoring and it's one of the best things I look forward to waking up to.

      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! 😞

      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.
