I like the Isopure brand, they have many flavors but my fav. is dutch cholocate. I know you are tired of the standard flavors. You may want to try the Protein bars, be careful because they can be high in sugar/fat. Stay away from the Protein Shots they are absolutely discusting !!!. OR try the unflavored Protein and mix it in soups/food etc.

My min. protein requirement that my surgeon wants me to have is 64 grams a day. I know I don't get it from food so I supplement with a Protein shake. I have a hard time with meats too, so I get my protein from yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese, Beans etc.

I really like the Optimum Nutrition brand. It uses whey isolate. They offer multiple variations on flavors and taste fantastic! They blend in well by spoon. There is no whey aftertaste. I have tried the Mint chocolate and Double rich chocolate. I order mine through vitacost.com , but they are available through other stores/sites.

IStay away from the Protein shots they are absolutely disgusting !!!.

I completely agree!! I tried a watermelon Protein shot and could only take one sip. They are so sour and pungent! Maybe there are other brands that are better, but the one I tried was terrible! :blink:

i like the Protein vials because they have so much protein and if you have the body fortress New Whey shots there is 42 grams of protein in one...you're guaranteed to get your daily protein needs with 2 of them! sip on it throughout the day if it tastes that bad...but to me its worth it to keep my hair from falling out and to keep seeing the scale go down... for me its like I got this way because i didnt want to eat things that i should and ate things I shouldn't because of the taste...this is about a lifestyle change and if we keep looking at food as enjoyment we are bound to gain the weight back...just a thought! but good luck finding something that works for you!

I tried Isopure and it was awful. The smell was bad as well. Tried nectar too and same thing' date=' was bad. I am stuck

with chocolate whey isolate powder. The only thing I can stomach so far.[/quote']

I'm having a hard time too. Either it makes me nauseous or I can't stand the taste. I need recommendation's. I'm 7 days post op so drinks are the only way I can get Protein in.

I like Chike Protein. It's pricey but the price of 2 tubs is about equal to what my bf & I would spend going out for a nice meal. It's worth it to me to find something I can finish + it has 28 gms of protein.

I found a powder that I really like. It's called Bio-test T Nation low carb. Tried the banana today and loved it. You can order off line I was told by one the doctors I work for. She buys online as well.

      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?

      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.
