Taste

[singerjoyce 0]

I am trying to taste test as many Protein products as I can so I can have what I need in the house ready to use after my surgery, mid June.

I would like to hear some recommendations on the best tasting protein Soup mixes, and fruit juice/flavoring for Water. I've already tested several Protein Shake mixes. But any and all recommendations are welcome.

Thanks!

I found the Premier Protein shakes too thick and sweet. I am now drinking Iconic Protein Shakes. I also like the Isopure Protein powders. The lemonade is good and I also use the unflavored.

I have heard that a lot of people's tastes change after surgery, so I was told not to stock up on anything, because even if you like it now, you might hate it after surgery. I bought an assortment to have around after surgery, so I can try different things, like different flavors of Bone Broth, flavored low sugar drinks, Protein Water, different types of Protein Shakes, etc.

Once you get to the soft stage I highly recommend the fuel for fire Protein packs!! I love them all!!!

I found a few products I liked pre op, stocked up, and then post op absolutely hated the taste of them! Ended up with a lot of waste. Would recommend having a selection to try, but be prepared for your tastes to change.

For me, the best products were those closest to 'normal' food, like Protein yoghurts. At 9 months post op I still use those to top up when I don't manage to get enough protein in the day.

Hope all goes well for you, singerjoyce.

Tastes definitely change after surgery so dont stock up too much. Premier Protein has a variety pack on Amazon. Maybe other manufacturers do the same. This may be a good idea to have on hand then you can just order what you like and have it at your door in two days.

My taste totally changed after surgery. I would suggest waiting at least a few months out to start stocking up on stuff. My husband literally bought me one of every brand of yogurt they sell at the stores. I hated all of them. Around month 6 was when I could start eating "normal" again. Meaning I actually started liking the stuff I was eating before surgery (healthy stuff).
