kellypb 6 Posted September 14, 2013 My surgery was on 9/3 had a hospital stay of 2 days. Feeling much better but having a little trouble with the Protein Shakes. Very tired of sweet taste! I am 11 lbs. down and have had no problems. I'm excited to get on the scale too! Good luck to you! 1 Erica2013 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you tried the Unjury chicken flavored or unflavored powder in Soups.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SeaLegs 38 Posted September 14, 2013 Congrats! I will be sleeved in October. I've been trying out different shakes and I hate the sweetness, too. I like to add Unjury unflavored to milk with some vanilla. If you add Unjury to Soups, don't heat above 140 degrees. I have read that some folks just drink the broth from a can of chicken Soup. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peggy D 124 Posted September 14, 2013 I found that I could not tolerate the vanilla-flavored Protein post-op. I switched to unflavored whey powder & use sugar-free Torani, DaVinci or Walden Farms syrups for flavor or add it to Crystal Light/Great Value drink mix. I bought some at GNC to get me by while I waited for the 10-pound bag of Now Sports unflavored whey isolate powder I ordered from Amazon. It arrived yesterday, so I haven't tried it yet. I'm still on clear liquids plus Protein shakes through week 4 post-op. I get to add pureed foods this Thursday. I'm so looking forward to that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
