My favorite Protein Powder is progenex. It’s pricey and not significantly different than other Proteins but it tastes amazing. I mix it with almond, coconut or 1% milk and as a treat make a shake with Cookies and cream powder and vanilla halo top. The powder is amazing. I’ve tried vanilla, chocolate, PB chocolate, mocha and cookies and cream. The cookies and cream is the best.

Try getting creative with Protein products you dont like. Drinking them is boring. sugar free pudding, protein fluff, mugcakes smoothies, , Cookies are all things ive done with protein powder. Some are easier/healthier than others, but theres so many creative ways to use the stuff that it can go from disgusting crap to edible and enjoyable
Personally I think you take any protein powder mix it with coconut flour baking powder splenda and skim milk toss in the microwave and itll taste pretty decent (if thanks to only the coconut flour)


Great ideas! Thanks! I didn’t even think about things like mug cakes and stuff. I’m not far out enough to try that but when I am I will try it.

Good saves so I don’t have to throw it out. :)

I’m pre-op right now but I really love the Primal Kitchen chocolate Coconut Protein powder with some PB2 mixed in and blended really really well with a bit of ice.

I'm not sure how long post op this goes for or if all surgeons say it. But my group says no blending Protein Drinks for a while after surgery, as if gets too much air in your stomach and causes discomfort/fills you up

I use flavorless Protein from time to time, here is a link https://dochalenutrition.com/. I recommend if you want some to call and not order it online and let Dr. Hale know that Alan pointed you his direction. Also, try tossing a banana or Peanut Butter in any chocolate flavor protein to mask the taste of protein.

Eh blenders don't add that much air and you can stir it after blending.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
