The unflavoured is ... well, I don’t like it! I tried the nectar fruity shakes, read they were good - but the odd milky Protein flavour was, to me, just so weird in apple juice! The taste of ‘unflavoured’ is not to my taste, be it whey or pea.

But, after a fair few tries, I have hit on a recipe that disguises it, so maybe try this:

one nespresso pod, as a long shot, chilled overnight

splash of milk

heaped scoop of the least sweet vanilla Protein Powder I could find

6 ice cubes.

Blitz in NutriBullet and voila, a perfect quick Breakfast. The coffee takes away the protein powder sweet, the ice cubes make it thick.

I really like the Quest products. They sell packets so you can just try it out before buying a huge container.

The unflavored Protein powder doesn’t sit well on my sleeve. I’ve been using Premier Protein shakes. 30g of protein per shake and tons of different flavors. The Cookies and creme is my favorite. If you have a Sams near you then they are way cheaper there.

I bought unflavored Protein powder and mixed it with Jello, YUCK! Didn't want to mix it with anything else after that. I definitely prefer flavored shakes to it. That's how I get a majority of my protein now that I'm one week post op.

Yessss! I was hoping someone would ask about Protein water! I've really gotten used to this: https://www.amazon.com/Protein2o-Low-Calorie-Protein-Infused-16-9-Ounce/dp/B01GQ5HBGI/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1521227525&sr=8-3&keywords=protein%2Bwater&th=1

It kinda tastes like grape feet (yes. FEET.), but once you get used to it, it's really not horrible. Part of our journey is switching our mindsets from eating for pleasure vs. now eating for survival. This bottle is 15g of protein, and I drink it on my way to work before breakfast.

You can do it! :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
