I had exactly the same problem, but I just tried the Click Decaf espresso. I put it in my Magic Bullet with Water and ice and blended it into a Frappe style drink and it is the first thing that I was able to comfortably choke down.

I switched brands as well. Now I drink Atkins and Pure Protein ready made shakes. Atkins is less Protein per serving (15g) and pure protein (23g) It's a welcome relief from those thick shakes which were starting to make me gag.

I use Body Fortress from Walmart (dry) and found it to be very good. I use vanilla flavored and mix it with fruit in the blender usually for Breakfast. Then I use the chocolate flavored with a little Decaf coffee (or just plain) to drink. I am able to use skim milk (not lactose intolerant). Each dry scoop adds 27g of Protein not including the milk. I still have a shake or two a day, my surgery was in December.

I use Syntrax Nectar and my favorite is strawberry kiwi. I had lots of trouble finding a Protein Drink as I LOVED the Atkins shakes prior but after surgery anything milky made me nauseous. I still use Unjury too just the chicken broth one. I ordered samples originally from vitalady.com to test different juicy flavors. She has good deals and this made more sense then buyin a huge tub and then finding out I didn't like it.

I was having the hardest time too. So now I used unfavor Unjury. I put in crystal lite fruit punch. But it still had a sort of wierd smell. So I got a cup with a lid. Now I cant even tell that is protein. Even my family cant tell.

I use Premier Protein. U can get it at Sam's, costco, Walmart and Meijer. It has 30g Protein per serving 1g sugar and 160 calories and comes in a little juice box looking set up. Delicious taste :)

I've been drinking the Atkins premade shakes, but I did by Syntrax unflavored Protein. Haven't tried it yet. I still have some Body Fortress left over from pre-op that I sometimes use. Made some Protein pistachio pudding the other night with it. Yummy!

I have found my nectar strawberry kiwi to fulfill my Protein need and not disgust me. It's Water base and doesn't have after taste. It does smell like whey Protein but doesn't taste. Works for me:)

Where can I buy this or what does this look like?

I buy mine from Amazon.com for a reasonable price. I initially bought samples of the different juice Nectars at Vitalady.com. I always check with Amazon before purchasing something first but they don't have samples.

I get my Syntrax Nectar from Netrition.com. They have a flat rate shipping no matter how large the order. Price is right too. I am lactose intolerant (after surgery) and even the ones that were soy based still had milk in them. I would get highly nauseous and diahrea would soon follow. Syntrax is the only one I have found my pouch can tolerate.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
