Good tasting protein drink.........something i would have enjoyed prior to surgery...or is that too much to ask for.....

[OneWritersSoul 353]

If you're struggling with the taste and/or consistency of Protein Drinks post-op like I did, I highly recommend Syntrax Nectar drinks and Sunkist Protein "shots". Both are available from Nashua Nutrition online for a discounted price and they send free samples of other protein products. The best unflavored Protein Powder I've found is GNC and I mix mine with Swiss Miss Diet hot cocoa (25 calories) or Trop50 orange juice (4oz juice, 8oz water) for an Orange Julius tasting treat.

Hi there' date='

I have not had my surgery yet however I have stocked up all my cabnets with several types of Protein. I know my taste may change but my hubby is a body builder so whatever i dont use or like ..he gladly snatched from me. So i have the pure Protein from Walmart chocalate and vanilla it has 23 grams of protein. Its ok just a little thin in consistancy. I also have muscle gel protein by muscle pharm. bananna cream and mango they both have 22 grams of protein and NO sugar! they are sweet and very sticky! the best part is they are very small and even if you dont love them its a very little portion and alot of your daily protein requirement.One great deal i found was mix 1 all natural protein shake only 15 grams of protein, but lactose free, soy free, gluten free, and caffeine free! The best part is i found them at big lots for 50 cents each and there very good. everytime i go in ther i buy 4 cases. And lastly i have the Protein Shots from New Whey from walmart..they are like Syrup soooo sweet my hubby blends them with Water and fruit. I cant drink them at all so i will use them as a last resort. The only other thing I will purchase is the Isopure drinks from GNC because they have 40+ grams of protein per bottle..but iam waiting for them to go on sale.[/quote']

The gel protein shots are not a good source for protein. They have collagen protein and none of the amino acids needed to absorb them properly. You can check with your NUT, but mine told me they are not good and this opinion has been echoed numerous times on many, many threads on this forum.

Just thought you might want to investigate that so you get the nutrition you need. Good luck to you!

I've actually heard there are one or two that are decent, but that the ones typically available at most grocery stores are not good, as you said.

1 week post op

Ok................

Ive tried isopure.. (four different flavors) and they taste is ok. its just the after taste is so BAD!!! i tried masking the taste with crystal light and that didnt work..

Ive tried whey Protein (better than isopure!!!!) but its just doesnt taste good to me..

With my new stomach i just cant handle bad after taste or anything that taste weird... im BARELY getting any protein...

I would like something that i would have enjoyed before my surgery' date='something that doesnt have that strong chemical taste.

i wish there was lotion or a patch i can put on that would give me Protein without making me wanna throw up...LOL!!

Anyways... Is their any protein shake that TASTE GOOD and something i would have enjoyed before surgery ALOT..

OR AM I ASKING FOR TOO MUCH???

Go to GNC and have them whip you up a sample of the Extreme Wheybolic 60 chocolate or Cookies and Cream. They taste amazing just with Water and even better with milk!

I just tried Isopure yesterday and it is NASTY!!!

They r nasty the only way I can use it is mixing the unflavored with food

[rollargirl 210]

Have you tried the unjury chicken flavor? It tastes just like chicken broth. Something salty instead of sweet. I also had gotten some Unjury unflavored Protein powder to add to soups/broths. Good luck with getting your Proteins in.

Where do u buy the chicken & unflavoured one? Is it online only or in GNC? I'm flying into the states and will look out for them.

[mrsplusamericajacksonville 21]
