I'm 2 weeks post op and I'm sick of Protein Shakes. I've tried many and I can't drink them suckers. I'm done! I hate the way they all taste. I'm still on liquid for 2 more weeks. Not sure how I'm gonna get through this stage. I'm barely getting in about 30g of Protein, when I should be at 60g. I'm drinking all my Water and Vitamins though. Im starting to worry. What will happen if I don't get all my Proteins in?

Have you tried the unflavored? If you add it to warm coffee.. Let it sit for a while and heat the coffee back up it isn't detectable..I use flavored coffee (Gloria jean's English toffee) and add some stevia

I was told if you didn't get enough Protein, you would lose your hair and muscle tissue among a list of other things. I was drinking muscle milk's chocolate powdered Protein Shakes and I couldn't take it anymore. I went to costco yesterday and got their Premier Protein ready to drink shakes in chocolate. They are pretty good. To me they taste like really sweet chocolate milk and they have 30g of protein which means I only need two a day.

My nut won't let us use the premier shakes because it's not all whey isolate.. Again showing how different docs are

Wow! Your NUT is opposed to Premier Protein, but caffeinated flavored coffee is okay? You're totally right in pointing out how different each doc/program is - that is wild!

They are all so different. My nut gave me a print out with some different brands and places you can buy ready to drink and powders from. I'm just glad I found a Protein I like...for now.

Thanks all for the advice. Yes I've tried muscle milk and I like it but for some reason most of the Protein I've tried all taste like metal to me. Oh lord don't ask me why I just said metal. It just has a weird after taste that makes me nauseous. I guess I have to keep trying until I find one I like. I sure don't want to be bald. No way! I'm curious to try the unflavored in coffee. I love coffee so this might be it. Looking forward to try this. Thanks again all. I really appreciate your comments.

Haven't tried it yet but will be. Thanks for the advice. I've tried many Protein shakes and I hate them all so far.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
