I've never liked the kind you mix yourself. I stick with muscle milk light or Premier Protein and get it by the case at costco.< /p>

I didn't have problems once I found powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Proteins... they taste good (IMO) and I have enjoyed them.

I have seen other posters on the board talking about the smell of Proteins and they suggested drink from a cup with a lid (like the coffee cup with the little sipper holes) or a sippy cup.

Keep trying different brands and flavors until you find something you like. I could never do Isopure (any flavor) or the whey Protein bullets or any of those other ones. I got some liquid Prosource (available in bottles on Amazon) and did OK with that -- that's what my hospital mixes in with Crystal Light for the days post surgery and the flavor was OK.

Glad I'm far enough out ot be on real foods but I still do supplement with a shake many days.

I've never tried that kind - The muscle milk light is 140 calories, 8 oz. and has 20 g of Protein.

i also am struggling.

i have tried slimfast, boost, muscle milk light, unjury,glucerna, premiere, & Atkins shakes...... they are killin' me... i have to gag them down.

Atkins is the least offensive, but still hard....

i have unflavored powder that i add to yogurts & puddings, but can't add it to drinks...blech.

any other ideas?

I personally enjoyed eas complete Protein it tastes like a vanilla milkshake when mixed with soy milk. You can get it at Walmart or target. There is also Syntrax powders. I haven't tried them yet but they're highly recommended by people here.

Lol...I just found my question I posted the other day! I do use the syntrex brand an I do like the coffee chike I no it's got caffeine but it's gotten me thru some bad days...I bought the big container of the unflavored Isopure whey...I still gag! So my hubs uses it in his smoothies...I am slowly adding real food...I just can only get 4 or 5 bites at one sitting so I like drinking Protein in my beverage in between. ..right now just mixed a lil the whey in some powdered Jello an I'm drinking it...the cherry sf. ..I don't taste it in it so far! :)

I really like Giant Sports Delicious Protein. Got it at Vitamin Shoppe after the salesperson mixed me a sample- with Water and a shaker bottle-and it was edible. I've tried many brands, but this one saved my pre op diet and I still like it post op. Only tried vanilla so far, but I highly recommend it.

      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.
