Have you tried watering it down? Changing the temperature? I still can't stomach things that are too cold and I'm 10 months out.

It could also be the brand or flavor. powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury has an unflavored powder you can add to many different fluids.

I don't know if this happens with VSG but you could have a temporary lactose intolerance thing happening. Probably good to search old posts or google for more information on that. I had rny and had to suck on a lactaid pill while I drank my drinks.

As crazy as it may seem you might be drinking it too fast. I know taking little sips doesn't seem like it should be too fast.

Hope something in this helps and keep going!

I'd try a different brand. unjury was the only one I could stand.

Try the ready-made kind - much, much better than the powder. I like Premier Protein the best - especially the chocolate, and also the salted caramel.

I use a protein water instead of a protein shake because I could not stomach the shakes anymore. I use the Atkins Lift Protein Drinks.

Yeah I would suggest liquid Protein. I couldn't take any more Protein shakes after my first few days.

I got some Liquid Protein from a company on Amazon. They come in different flavors and they are essentially like crystal light. It just tastes like flavored Water. 15 grams of protein per serving. It's called Bariatric Choice.

Which Protein shake do you have? I can only stomach premier. It's not thick and doesn't have a nasty after taste... maybe you can try it. They sell a pack of 4 at Walmart

They also have Premier on Amazon, at great prices.

I drink Isopure clear drinks. It has 40 grams of protien in it. If I have to drink a shake, I had PB2. Its so good!

I've been trying Atkins and premier Protein but it's just soo thick I'll probably go try the Water

I hated 90 % of the Protein drinks I got at grocery and health food store. The only Protein shakes that I enjoy and don't taste gross are Chike chocolate Bliss mixed with 8 ounces of Silk Very vanilla Soymilk.

I also like the Inspire Chocolate covered Cherry Protein Power with Silk very vanilla soymilk too.
