My surgery is set for October 14. My anxiety is through the roof. I'm nervous and scared. Any suggestions on the protein shakes. I've tried the premiere protein shakes and making my on but I can't stand the taste.

Hi. My surgery date is Oct 26. I know how you feel. I go between excitement and terror. I think we all feel the same, pre-op.

I tried a few protein shakes and hated them. I dont like the thick, milky texture. I talked to a nutritionist and he suggested Syntrax Nectur. So much better. They taste like lemonade and fruit punch. Amazon has a sample variety with a bunch of different flavors.

There is also unflavored Isolate whey protein that you can add to crystal lite, ice tea, or broth.

Expensive as all **** but... isopure (dutch cocoa was my early fav), syntrax nectar, genepro seem to be popular choices. Also BariatricPal store sells a large variety of protein shake and protein supplement alternatives if shakes aren't your cup of tea

I was a fan of the Syntrax Nectars and Matrix formulas. Try one of the BariatricPal soup based ones or their protein drinks as well. They’ve really helped on days where I didn’t want another protein shake.
