I'm not a big fan of the Protein shakes either but I drink mine every single day as instructed. I use Isopure Dutch Cholocate. I use about 3/4 cup of Water and two scoops of the powder (50 grams of protein). Since I only use 3/4 cup of Water I have very little to drink and I just down it. I take as big of a gulp as I can, I usually do this after I work out in the a.m. the Protein helps you recover from exercising and it gives me a bost in the a.m.

I heard there is unflavord protein that you can mix in your food without changing the taste.

Not sure if that much Protein is good right after surgery. I did the SF Carnation Breakfast drink for a few days and then once I was given the green light to start on pureed foods I started with a Protein Shake. Syntrax is good and I started drinking the Isopure at GNC. It's 23 grams of Protein with very very low sugars and carbs. I go with 12 to 14 oz of ff milk and a scoop of powder in a Blender Bottle. It's great as a Meal Replacement. It curbs my appetite. This is what I've been doing and it seems to work well. Not sure if it matters but I'm a guy also.

I am 1 month post op and I have found a great Protein shake. I start very morning with it, otherwise I would not come near my daily Protein goals. I have to drink it in 2 sittings... I have 1/2 for breakfast and 1/2 afternoon around 2 or 3.

The recipe:

1 cup of 1/2% milk

1 scope unjury unflavored Protein Powder

1 packet Carnation instants breakfast no sugar added, with protein milk chocolate flavor

That alone is great, but when I want to shake things up I add 1 tablespoon of Peanut Butter

Or 1 tablespoon of sugar free Carmel sauce.

It's yum and has around 40 to 45g of protein. Like I mentioned above I drink it in 2 sittings.

Good luck!

Yes... And no.

In this shake I do not taste it at all. You have to put it in things that will mask the flavor. I have put too much in yogurt and it was not good. In this shake, I really do not taste any of it.

This is my favorite:

8-10oz Water or skim milk

6 ice cubes

2 scoops Protein powder

2T sugar free instant pudding powder

2T Splenda, optional

Blend it all up!

I use chocolate Protein powder with chocolate pudding mix and it's really, really good. My girls will ask for it! I'll occasionally add a T of Peanut Butter.

To change it up a little, use vanilla protein powder and pudding mix. It's great just like that, but it's also fabulous with some frozen strawberries in place of the ice cubes.

I'd wondered about adding ice. I'm going to make one as soon as everyone in the house is awake. If I put ice in the blender right now I'd regret it this afternoon because my girls would be CRABBY! :-)

Syntrax double stuffed cookie...tastes like an oreo milkshake! Because of this heavenly shake, I am able to get in 60+ grams of Protein a day being only 11 days post-op! It tastes like COOKIES!! It's $35 can be found on Amazon, Vitamin Shoppe, etc. Add 8 oz skim plus to one scoop power, you get 35g of protein, 210 cals. UHHHMAZINGGG!

GNC has an iisolate Protein that has 23 gr of Protein and they have some great flavors. Cookies and Cream and chocolate are my favorites. They have some other flavors that I plan on trying soon. Yesterday I tried the Syntrax caribbean cooler and oh my was it horrible. I tried the Fuzzy Navel the other day and that was decent.

Forgot to mention the GNC drinks are very very low in carbs and sugars which is perfect for me.

      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.
