Every Protein Shake I have tried tastes terrible to me. I am almost a week out. Anyone have any good suggestions? I have been eating cottage cheese, Greek yogurt and Soups that are all liquified down, but really struggling to get my Proteins and Water in. My mid-back aches and I just don't feel hungry. I am starting to feel a little weak. I have only urinated twice today. Anyone have any good advice?

Hi, yes I do have something for you. It's called Protein Milk shake Bar. It has 22g of protein. They have a variety of flavors. vanilla Caramel & Rocky Road are very good. They are not yucky or gritty. I have used it with Water & with milk, it's good either way. I get mine through Amazon, but here is their e mail address.......www.proteinmilkshakebar.com phone..1-888-582-2580. Believe me I have tried several and this brand is by far the best. Trust me on this!! Good Luck!!!

Did you try Protein Water? I am preop and cannot stand the taste of protein mix or premade shakes. The water I use has 15g of protein in each serving and comes in different flavors.

I Hated almost everyone I tried. The only one that was palatable to me was Isopure. Make sure you get the no carb one. Grape and orange, to ME, were the best. I didn't like the powder. And they tasted better cold.

The thing about Protein is it's important to our survival after this surgery. Water, Vitamins and protein are our 3 must always do's. They sustain our heart function and brain function along with helping aide us in weight loss and weight management. If you notice yourself being tired or loosing hair or scatter brained or gaining weight check yourself and ask am I drinking 80oz of water every day? Am I taking the dr recommended vitamins? Am I drinking 25 grams of protein 2x a day? I have learned when anything is off inside me I am slacking off on one of those things!

These are the ones I have used-Pure Protein (Walmart, Costco), Click (The Vitamin Shoppe, Drink Click online) and Inspire (bariatriceating.com)

I would also go to Bariatric Foodie site. She has many recipes to improve the taste of your Protein Shakes plus a great book called "The Bariatric Foodie Guide to Perfect Protein Shakes". It is well worth the price. Without this book I am not sure I would have survived the protein shakes.

Best of luck. Hope this helps.

      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!!
