Try sample pack to see what you like. I can only tolerate unflavored in Vitamin Water, broth, etc.

Isopure is great and they have several flavors. But any Protein Drink that is whey isolate would work. I have vanilla whey isolate and mix a teaspoon of sugar free berry Metamucil and a couple squirts of Mio, add Water and ice and blend it to a milk shake. It's pretty yummy. :-)

There are so many options.

Please learn from my mistakes - don't go buy a whole lot of one brand before surgery. Your taste buds WILL change after surgery, and the powder you love right now will make you nauseous at the thought of it post op. find some that work now an d after surgery from a Vitamin shop that will let you try before you buy.

I always keep vanilla on standby because I can make it whatever I want. Usually blend it with a combo of plain Greek yogurt, skim milk and frozen fruit. Ends up like a milkshake consistency. And like 30g protein!

Whomever said buy sample packs is right on! Unjury and Syntrax both have sample packs, I'd have em on hand and ready for post-op. taste is a very strange thing. I personally thought Isopure was like drinking acid flavored with cat urine, but some people like it!

GNC sells sample pack of their Protein light powder. I tried all favors and settled for vanilla bean with few drops of peach Water Enhancer :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
