I'm pre-op and I have bought a case of Premier Protein shakes for post-op. I hope the smell doesn't make me sick after surgery as well. I also bought Unjury vanilla, chicken Soup, and unflavored just in case. I hope you find something that doesn't make you nauseous.

Try Chike..you can google them, then call the 800 number and they will send you some samples. I got the choc, vanilla, and strawberry, and they are sort of like a milkshake. Taste is good, not gritty, and it comes in dry powder you can take with you and mix with Water on the go. One serving is about 28 grams of protien. Try it, you'll like it!

I couldn't stand protien shakes while on full liquid.now that I am on soft foods I drink them for meals and love them. Stomach takes a while to start to feel normal again.

Chike shakes are great. I've also found Syntrax Nectar shakes - they have all kinds of flavors (lemon tea, apple, cherry, etc) that are very light and can be mixed with Water. They have been my saving grace. Had pink grapefruit this morning - yummy!! I get them from BJ's Bariatrics (online) and you can order a sample pack that you make up yourself. Quick shipping, too. Ordered some more mid-week and they came yesterday.

Do they mix up thin? I don't like a thick protien shake.< /p>

Yes - that's exactly why I like them. I mix them with about 12 oz. of Water and some ice. You could even do more water if you wanted to. They really have saved me. I think if I had to have vanilla and chocolate all the time I wouldn't have made it to this point. After today, 4 more days till puree!!!

I like them more watery. I will get some nectar tomorrow and give it a try.

I drink the EAS carb control. 3 carbs and 17 Protein. The vanilla is thin. I could never stomach the thick ones :-/

Not sure if you have these or not, but the new packaging for the Premier Protein shakes has a twist top in it. I had trouble with the smell before they came out with the twist top too. Maybe you can try a straw, it will take your nose a little farther from the smell.

I am a week after surgery and I've had great success with Bariatric Advantage Latte and Orange Cream flavored shaked. They mix up completely with only a bottle shaker so I don't have to use a blender which can add extra air. More or less Water to change consistency.

Amazon has the orange on sale with free 2 day shipping for Prime members. These are big bags.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
