I had the same problem, every shake I tried was disgusting and would gag me. My doctor suggested mixing them with skim, soy or almond milk (I was using water). I have been using Almond Delight no sugar added with Unjury chocolate Splendor and it actually tastes good. I'm also just making 4 ounces at a time which mentally helps me too, I just have to drink them 6 times a day instead of 3. But this way it's really only 4 or 5 swallows. I also like the chicken Soup by unjury too. It's not bad. Bariatric Advantag has a latte flavored shake that's pretty decent, just don't mix with any of them with Water. Today is my 10th day on the shakes. The first 3 days was the hardest and I still miss chewing. My surgery is Monday morning so I have a few more weeks to go on the shakes. Good luck to you, hopefully you will find a shake that you will enjoy.

Many have said Unjury is their fave. Have to order it. Pure Protein from Publix in premix bottles is good and convenient to have. Good luck

I haven't found many Protein mixes that I do like. Even some of the favorites on the board weren't doing it for me. The only one I love and look forward to is Syntrax Peanut Butter cookie! I mix it with unsweetened vanilla almond milk or skim milk and it actually tastes like a peanut butter cookie. Nashua Nutrition website offers the widest selection of samples I have found yet. I highly recommend ordering samples and trying them before committing to a large and expensive tub of Protein Powder that you might not enjoy.

Premier Protein from costco or SAMs has my vote. chocolate specifically, I have spent a small fortune on powders only to find out that I don't like any of them, the premier Protein chocolate is like drinking rich chocolate milk. The vanilla however was to sweet for me, ever since my surgery I cannot tolerate anything that tastes too sweet.

Good luck!

FYI the vanilla premier shake, with a squirt of SF Davinci Carmel flavoring is to die for..... they are seriously keeping me going.

I like the Vega One powder - the chocolate is great, and it comes in sample packs so you can try before investing $30+ in a big tub. Also, for anyone else that's lactose intolerant as I am, be sure to check the ingredients -- some of the "whey" intensive ones are too "milk-y" for my digestive system, just a heads-up -- if you have Sprout's nearby, that's where I get mine, but I'm sure it's lots of other places and probably online as well...

      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.
