I started using milk (always fat free) right away after my surgery (3rd day) and had 0 problems. Are you lactose intolerant? Does your plan not allow milk until a later stage? I drank a lot of the "premier" Protein ready to drink shakes from costco too. Not sure if those contained dairy or not. I also sipped 1/2 cup of milk alone 1 or 2 times a day. I believe it really helped me.

I drink Isopure Zero Carb Alpine Punch and Grape Frost. They are clear liquid like Gatorade and they have 15 grams of Protein for 60 calories. I think they taste great!

try almond milk. Soy milk has more Protein, but also more calories and has more of an aftertaste to is. You can get Almond milk, unsweetened, vanilla flavor that has only 30 calories per serving. And you won't be able to taste it with the shake. It will blend in flavor-wise like milk does.

Fat free greek yogurt is also good choice. It has less lactose than other milk products.

I had problems with Protein Shakes made with any milk or water.. Then I switched to the Isopure juices prebottled.. I was in heaven but the after taste to drink so much to get the Protein in... It was a struggle in my mind and my stomach... My husband found protein to go... Very much used in sleevers ... Protein to go is taste tollerable and in only a 2.5 oz bottle there is 28 g of protein... Made my life so much easier!! No more stomach aches from trying to get all the protein down and enough fluids.. I struggled and wound up with a 6 day stay in the hospital.. My husband found these little life savers for me and Its also sooo much easier to get the Water in or the juices in for the day.. 2 little bottles a day and you have 56 grams of protein.. All in 5 oz total.. i love the strawberry banana. A little sweet because its puree vs shaky a dab of water shake it up in the bottle and your good to go!!! Totally changed me and allowed me to almost get the required fluids down. A little pricey from dicks sporting goods.. A little pricey on Amazon as well as protein to go website. If you do 2 a day it will run you roughly 7-8 dollars a day.. But soo worth it to me!!

      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.
