I personally could only stand muscle milk! Better then some other powders! But sometimes for a variety I would add in a tbsp ish of Jello pudding mix in there cause there are a few different flavors!! I also found I love like cold fushion, smoothies shops, I would stop and usually grab a different one every day cause they have like 32 flavors!

I mean if i can find anything i can tolerate ill live it on it for a month. Doesnt matter if i buy individually at $5 a piece, not buying any other groceries ya know... Just have to figure something out....some docs dont seem to care what u drink as long as Protein low cal low fat low sugar, others seem to b more conservative and want certain brand followed for week or two... Idk if it matters....

BariWise makes an Orangeade that (for me) did not have the texture or smell of regular Protein drinks. Also, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury makes a chicken Soup that was a very good, savory option to the traditional shakes.

Some sites will let you get some samples too. Best of luck finding some you like.

I'm soon to join your journey. I gag sometimes with certain favors. I find citrus favors more tolerable. My Wellness doc sells Health Wise fruit Protein drinks with 20 grams of Protein. Lemon Razzy I love. Peach Tea is ok.

I did buy a NutriBullet and waiting its arrival. It blast the hell out of some fruits and veggies and makes them into pure liquid. I'm thinking I will add the flavorless protein to them. It wasn't cheap, but I figured I won't be eating meat for a while. Check it out online. The guy who represents the product wrote a book on all the Super Foods on Earth. I learned a lot. I believe this will be a healthy approach and creative approach! Of course I'm checking with my Nutritionist today about how to go about getting enough protein in.

I wish you the best! Lets keep in touch. :-)

I haven't tried many yet, surgery is in November, but on that I did and really liked was Isopure. The grape flavor is pretty good. You can get them at GNC.< /p>

Good luck!

Unjury makes a good Protein Drink. They have a chicken Soup flavor that tastes just like cop o noodles soup. The chocolate splendor flavor just tastes like good choc milk. I use almond or flax milk to mix it. Never cows milk.

Animal Protein is the best Protein for our tiny tummies. I'm lactose intolerant so I do soy right now until I can eat regular foods. I asked my Dietician about Almond and Rice milk. She did not recommend it due to the need to get in the best quality protein which comes from regular low fat milk.

Almond milk is quite low in Protein with little nutritional value

I have used the Unjury chocolate Splendor and the the strawberry Sorbet, mixed with skim milk. It is a good start in the morning with 28g of Protein. Adding a little ice to my Ninja makes it more like a shake or smoothie

There is one set of Protein Drinks that I like. Its called E.A.S. AdvantEDGE Carb Control Protein Shakes. I've like all three flavors I've found. They have RIch Dark chocolate, strawberry Cream, Chocolate Delight (I think), and French vanilla. They have 0 sugars and 17 grams of Protein. You can find them with the weight loss drinks around the pharmacy in Kroger and Walmart.< /p>

Yeah, it only has an abundance of Calcium, riboflavin, B12, Vitamins e and d... Oh wait... I guess it does have some value after all.

      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.
