I have 7 more meals of Protein Shakes to choke down before Doc puts me on the next phase. They make me sick, I bought numerous brands hoping one or two I could drink. Well the truth is they all are terrible (IMO), is there anyway around this? I don't mind anything so far but shakes make me gag! Any way to get Protein and Vitamins in my clear broth, juice etc.

Is there a way around the protein shakes!

I don't know if this will help, but I love the unjury chocolate Splendor Protein shakes. The only downfall is you can only get it online.

Much to my shock, I actually like the Slimfast low carb shake. The low carb ones have 20g of Protein per serving (their normal ones only have 10g). I've been drinking them for quite awhile.

Atkins Protein Shakes are downright yummy- I have Caramel Latte and chocolate Mocha ones in my fridge right now. The downfall to them is they only have 15g of protein. But, it's still better than nothing or vomiting.

Premier Protein shakes are so good and they don't have that disgusting Protein smell/taste. You can get them at Sam's or costco. I personally like the chocolate ones. Best thing is they have 30 gm protein and only 160 cals in each shake.< /p>

I use whey Protein or slim fast (greater value version for less). Whey protein has 60grs of protein but greater value has 10 or 12 I can't remember exactly. They come in different flavors and you can mix them with Water, milk, or juice. At least not the slim fast unless you purchase the powder rather than ready made.

The only other thing I can think of is getting unflavored Protein powder and adding it to juice or broth. But...even the supposedly "unflavored" seems to have a bit of a taste.

What brand shakes have you tried?

Bought @ Wallyworld (whey and muscle milk,and eas myoplax). I'll look for the unflavored stuff at the drug store.

Have you tried the ready-to-drink shakes? I like GNC Total Lean and Pure Protein the best.

I put fresh fruit and frozen fruit in mine. It made the Whey Protein and skim milk palatable. Just count the calories, I put ice in it when I used fresh fruit and it made a great smoothie !!!! Hope this helps !

I used the Isopure Protein Water I loved it, and it was a nice change from the flavored protein powders not matter what flavor they were ICK.

These come in fruit Punch and grape. I found them at Meijer's but that is a Michigan based store but also ordered them on Amazon.< /p>

I don't "do" artificial sweetners so I use unflavored Unjury. I'm several months post op, so I don't know what your doctor is recommending for you but I drink this every morning for Breakfast. http://thefatgirlthin.blogspot.com/2013/05/smoothie.html

Been on costco Premier Protein shakes since June prior to lapband surgery. No issues. I put them in freezer for 30-45 minutes and drink like a slurpy.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
