Hi everyone. I am new to Bariatric Pals. I was sleeved September 26th I started my journey May 2017 and right after my nutritionist appt I started the pre op diet. I burmt muself out because the taste of the protein shake makes me gag. Not because something is wrong with my sleeve but because I cant fathom the smell. The soups are nasty I added water but it so disgusting. I tried regular low fat soups creamy soups I gag. So I havent eaten in 2 days. Only Crystal light I can consume with lots of ice or watered down and sugar free popsicles. Do anyone have any advice what they are eating 12 days post op. I did purchase unjury the plain and I put some in my hot wheat cream of wheat cereal and it was ok. I liked it and got alittle protein. I'm more concerned about my protein intake rather the calcium..

You have to keep trying till you find one you can stand. I had to try about 10 brands before finding syntrax matrix and quest. I prefer powder mix.

Other people swear by premiere protein and I can't stand it. Some like syntrax nectar because it's more juice like.

Nashua Nutrition website will sell sample pack of any one they carry for $1! Try a bunch!

Omg thank you for the reply and advice. I will get online and check that website

My dietician recommended adding a drop of food essence to the shake,
Peppermint into the chocolate shake or coconut into the vanilla and strawberry
It has helped

Matt I never though of that sounds like a good idea as well. I havent made my appt with my dietician as of yet but I will first thing Monday morning

Had you tries Nectar brand I really am enjoying these protein powder. I bought 10 samples of different flavors and they don't anything like my prior shakes. See if you buy sample packs before investing in big container.

You can buy Protein water... add unflavored protein powder to crystal light or anything you like to eat or drink

I will definitely try the protein water. I hope it smells better than the shakes lol.. Thank you for the advice
