Absolutely hate the taste of Protein Shakes. I think most of the ones I tried are smelly and I can't get them down. I start gagging. Does anyone know some clear Protein choices or something that is tasty?

The strawberry sorbet from Unjury is pretty good.

The nectar brand has some good favors too.

I prefer EAS - chocolate, this is pre-mixed. Must drink while they are quite cold. If they still seem to potent, you can add a cup of FF milk and it really just tastes like a glass of chocolate milk plus goes from 17 grams of Protein to 25! Keep trying. You'll find something.

I use EAS powders with either Skim Extra milk, or light soymilk, and doctor the crap out of them with good quality additives and SF syrups, sometimes a bit of fruit or veggie juice. That works, and I actually look forward to having them. Had what I call a PBJ one this morning, yummy.

In a pinch I use the EAS low carb drinks (AdvantEdge). I prefer strawberry of the flavors, and tolerate them best when they're super cold, just shy of being frozen. Once they warm up they're gross. Unfortunately they're usually warm before I can finish them, so I drink them over the course of several hours, re-refrigerating them as I go.

I was at Sam's Club today and just bought the Premier Protein shakes that a lot of WLS & body builders people seem to enjoy. Haven't tried them yet, but one is in the fridge for tonight. 30g of Protein in like 11 oz - that's really good. The EAS ones only have 17gm. I'm all about protein dense, because I still have capacity issues.

Oh I didn't like them when I had my band, but I'm also enjoying the nectar Proteins by Syntrax. 0 cals, 0 carbs, 26g Protein per scoop. I mix a scoop and a half with cold Water, a packet of either SF lemonade or strawberry lemonade drink mix. Over ice. The first drink or two always strikes me as weird, but after that it's a flavor that I could best describe as lemon cream.

So far their lemonde flavor is the only one I like. I've tried the fuzzy navel and literally spit it out. I used to be able to drink it OK but my 'buds are changing.

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
