I think something may be wrong with me... I HATE Protein Shakes. I'm on the 3rd Protein brand, and it's disgusting! My first shake was an EPIC fail as I made it with milk that I hadn't realized had gone "bad". Three gulps in, and I about lost my cookies! Yesterday, I tried a new brand, different flavor, GOOD milk and whil I managed to drink it, all I could think about was how gross it was. And, the thought of drinking another has made me nauseated... HELP! I have GOT to find a way to get all the protein in. I'm still in the pre-op phase, and I'm having surgery in 10 days. My fear is that if I don't like them now, then I'm SURE not going to like them post surgery! ANYONE????

I really don't like hardly any of the powder brands. Try Premier Protein pre-made shakes. You can get them at costco, Walgreens, etc. I think they're decent.

Get some PB2. This is dry Peanut Butter. Add 2 tbs to shake when making and the peanut butter taste takes over. It makes them tolerable and also gives you more Protein with no fat and low calorie.

Thanks for the tips! I will try them ALL. At this point, all I see the Protein Shakes are good for is brick mortar or torture for prisoners. I feel like such a failure... I'm now worried I won't be successful at this. All because I can't drink shakes!

I really like Isopure Protein drinks. They come in glass bottles.. they cost about $4.00. So worth it though. 40 grams of Protein in each bottle. Kinda taste like Gatorade. I drink it with ice throughout the day. My fave is mixing half blue raspberry half crystal light lemonade! You'll get your protein and Water in. Good luck!

Do you dilute the isopure. I have the hardest time getting them down. They taste like Gatorade with gravel. although its clear, it was very hard for me to digest. My nutritionist suggested that I cut it with Water or crystal lite. Ill try it again. I'm 6 weeks out and i tried it last at week 3.

Premier Protein was my choice too. Smaller amount to drink (11 oz) than the other pre-made ones...and not so sweet. The sweet was really getting to me with some of the others. I also add 3 Tbsp of non-fat dry milk to whatever I can to add Protein.< /p>

I found the pre-made shakes to taste too sweet for me, and I didn't enjoy them. I used Pure Protein chocolate Frosty powder and often mixed with the above mentioned PB2. LOVED IT. You can also try the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup. It will definitely aid in getting in your Protein and savory instead of sweet.

Good luck!!!

Yes, I do sometimes dilute the Isopure with ice. My favorite is half isopure half crystal light lemonade. I Love it over ice. Good luck!

I've started mixing my shakes using almond milk (SoDelicious brand, vanilla flavor, with added protein). I like the creamy texture better than either Water or regular milk.

      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.
