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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
