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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
