I can't find a Protein Shake that I find good or even okay. Please offer any advice or if you know of a pill, please let me know.

I really like nectar's shakes! They have ones you can make like a juice drink or the others that are like shakes. I use the chocolate truffle and vanilla (i add frozen fruit to make it more like a shake). Got them at Vitamin Shoppe. Good luck!

Yes, I don't think you can find it anywhere else. It doesn't have that nasty Protein taste. I love it!

just be careful with the amount of calories and sugars in some of the shakes that taste great. The Rockin Refuel taste awesome but are over 300 calories. I really like the Unjury and they are made for weight loss people like us. I do the chocolate and strawberry. I have heard there is a Protein pill but you have to take so many.

The nectar is no fat or sugar for most if not all flavors. They are 100 calories for one scoop which is 23 grams Protein. I found a sample pack online too for like $18.99 and it had like almost every flavor...

I like nectar also. It mixes nicely. Also, Premier Protein shakes taste like chocolate milk to me. Another suggestion would be to try Isopure drinks. They have 40 grams of Protein in a bottle and are similar to kool-aid type drinks. Also, there are protein bullets you can buy that are only about 2 oz. and are easy to get down quickly because they are so small. Good luck!

The best thing to do is go to a health food store like Vitamin Shoppe and get lots of different kinds. Personally, I have found the Premier shakes to be the best - they are sold at Sam's Club or costco, have 30 grams of Protein and 1 gram of sugar, and don't taste artificial.

I couldn't stand the Isopure or Muscle Milk and I found the Nectars to be too gritty. But, that's just me. Everyone is different.

Don't forget you can get plain Protein Powder to beef up other things.

I will be 4 weeks out tomorrow and I'm still on full liquids and I struggle still. I really hope that something changes, I only have to get through until the 9th I hope before I move to purees. It seems like eternity.

I think I'm going to see if I can find some unjury samples. I have the unflavored that I have been adding to things. I went back to Isopure to help add more Protein to my day and the Icy Orange was rough. I bought some more Orange MIO hoping it will help.

Good Luck I'm still struggling. I drank Pure Protein 100% whey Frosty chocolate from Target for 7 months pre-approval for Breakfast and lunch and I loved them. Not sure what happened after surgery, but my taste buds changed and it's grueling to get my shakes in now.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
