I just had the gastric bypass this past Wednesday as well as gall bladder removal. This is my first day home and I was able to get in all my Vitamins. Been sipping liquids all day. The only thing I'm having trouble with is getting in the protein!! How come nobody told me it would smell so terrible?? Today I tried Nectars vanilla Bean Torte, optisource strawberry, Isopure alpine punch and passion fruit(which this is my fave so far) and a pure protien shot that's 42g in 3.8 oz of liquid. The taste on most has been tolerable but the smell is really getting to me! Does anyone have suggestions on some that are better to get down smell wise?

I had surgery in Wednesday also and I came home Friday and I can't come close to getting in all my Protein. It's not that it smells bad to me, it's just I get so full and feel miserable. I'm gonna call my nutritionist tomorrow to see if she ha any tips.

I had my surgery on 8/13 and I'm not allowed to touch anything but Clear Liquids for the first week. It's so hard to get all that liquid down I can't imagine adding Protein too. Good luck and I hope you find something good!

      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...

        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.
