How do you get over the "protein" taste of Protein Shakes? !?!?! Ugh!!!!!!! All I taste is medicine and chemicals. I had such yummy flavors too but can hardly taste the yumminess.

I use all flavors of Unjury and am mixing with Water as I just had surgery. When I used them before surgery I mixed it with skim or FF milk and would add a handful of frozen berries or frozen pineapple, mango & strawberries. For the chicken flavor I would add it to Soups as well as the cheese flavor. My favorite was Tomato Soup with the cheese Protein added into it.

I use the

Syntrax - nectar Medical Unflavored and it really doesnt have any taste at all. Hope you can find something you like. Keep doing what you are supposed to be doing and it wont be long until you wont have to rely on those Protein Shakes.< /span>

I've found 2 that I like - 1st place: Premier Protein chocolate shake

- 2nd place: EAS carb control chocolate

I like them even better with a scoop of powdered chocolate Protein thrown in. I like my Protein shakes kinda thick. I bought a bag of chocolate soy Meal Replacement mix at Sam's Club and have been putting a scoop of it in my shakes.< /p>

Sometimes they feel a little "grainy" but they always taste good. No chemical aftertaste. AND cheap, just over $1.50 per shake.< /p>

You can get EAS at Wal-mart - 4 for $5. The Premiers, I had to buy a case of 12 at Sam's - 12 for $19.

I'm limited to where I can buy Protein right now (price limitations and location). We only have a Walmart, Walgreens, and GNC. I found a shake from GNC, can't remember the name off hand, red bottle (GNC brand) strawberry and single serve sizes. Like 29 grams of Protein each. These are OK but are much more expensive because they're already made shakes, unlike making your own. 8.99$ I think for a 4 pack. Then I bought just whey protein brand powder, vanilla because all other flavors I just felt I'd get sick of fast, and I figure I can add fruit to vanilla to change the flavor a bit, this is the horrid stuff. I first tried almond milk, gag, Water is an absolute no go, and regular milk tastes OK but still gags me. I even mixed in sugar free chocolate Syrup and it didn't help the flavor.

Then I ordered the 11 sample packs of nectar protein. I got Cappuccino, stuffed cookie, vanilla bean torte, caribbean cooler, lemonade, wild cherry, fuzzy navel, and maybe more. I tried the cookie one and couldn't even choke down one gulp!!!! Tried lemonade with Water this morning and added ALOT of water to try and lessen the flavor, didn't help, I finished only 8 oz and it took almost 2 hours to choke it down :( I wanna save money by mixing my own shakes and I know once I have surgery (the 10th) I will HAVE to start drinking them no matter what!!! What can I do!!!!???

      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.
