Andrew0929 1,101 Posted May 3, 2014 I just puked in my mouth thinking about them ... I tried 12 different kinds and hated them all. Forced them down pre op but couldn't post op. I took pleasure in throwing away $150 worth of shakes ... 2 Dragonsmate and NewBeginning2014 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeagleLover 1,020 Posted May 3, 2014 I just ordered a book that sounds promising, "The Bariatric Foodie Guide to Perfect Protein shakes." If you make them yourself, you have the flexibility to make them just the way you like. 1 maxcimax reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SugarFreeMe 293 Posted May 4, 2014 I also hated the Protein shakes post-op. Then I tried Muscle Milk Lite - they're not a milk product and they don't taste like Protein. They come in either little plastic bottles or cartons, they have somewhere between 120 and 200 calories depending on the size and most have upwards of 20 grams of protein. Please do yourself a favor and try one. The vanilla Cream is really really sweet but the chocolate is very good. 2 msfitn2014 and yolicious1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewBeginning2014 45 Posted May 4, 2014 I bought the book too! I have tried several of the options. The foundation of milk (I use skim) a scoop of Protein powder and flavorings (frozen fruit, fruit, ice cubes, flavored sugar free syrups) still have that Protein smell. I did find that orange juice helps cut the smell. I can get a chocolate Boost down every day. I put it in the freezer at work and get it out before it freezes, drink some and put it in the fridge and continue the cycle. I can now get the 8oz container down by noon each day. I have tried several powders and haven't found a favorite yet. Good luck with your recipes! I just ordered a book that sounds promising, "The Bariatric Foodie Guide to Perfect Protein shakes."

HHHappy 225 Posted May 4, 2014 I love my Protein shakes! I look forward to one every single afternoon. 1 msfitn2014 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
butterfly2014 128 Posted May 4, 2014 I hated Protein Shakes as well until I started my puree foods stage. I now make Protein smoothies with fruit and its so yummy! Of course cant use berries or anything with seeds, but theres plenty of fruits you can use. 1 yolicious1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bufflehead 6,358 Posted May 4, 2014 @@kk6903 you get them from Amazon or http://www.ilikechike.com I love Chike and drink it a lot (every day in fact) -- but only use a half serving of the Protein powder and then bump up the flavor with instant coffee granules, Torani sugar free syrups, unsweetened cocoa powder -- stuff like that. Otherwise it is just too high in calories and carbs for my plan. 2 Nicey2u and NewBeginning2014 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha I can only take in 3 oz a sitting right now so one lasts me all day! It's my Breakfast lunch and dinner!! I especially loved the strawberry and banana!! Get the variety pack and see what you like best! I didn't get that much because my doc wants me off them completely after two weeks because he does not want me drinking my calories after that point.
