Premier Protein premixed drinks are my favorite . I couldn't do the powder.

Many people try several different kinds before they find one that they like, or that agrees with their tummy. I love the Syntrax Nectars. I have the Cappuccino flavor for Breakfast every morning, and a Fuzzy Navel mixed with Water right before lunch. You might have to experiment, and you might find that after a few days they don't bother your stomach.

I love Premier Protein shakes all flavors

I swear by the Isopure zero carb RTD. It's kinda like drinking paper because there's 40 g of Protein in 20 oz but worth it. I can't stand shakes with milk so I try to stick to the clear Protein Drinks. Cytosport whey isolate is another good one. You could also try using almond milk instead of regular milk.

I like the Premier ready to drink Protein shakes- chocolate.< /p>

I use Syntrax Matrix with 4 oz of sweet almond milk and 4 ozs of Water. I like the Mint Cookie and Cookies & Cream. The sweet almond milk is low in calories (40 calories in 4 oz) and it gives the shake a really nice flavor.

At 6 days out, don't worry so much about the Protein as just getting the fluids in so you don't become dehydrated. I had problems at first with the protein as well and talked to the Dr about it. He said a lot of those numbers are guidelines, but not a set in stone thing. Don't beat yourself up about it and try diff things to make it work. Yogurt at this stage is also a good choice. Danon Greek yogurt has one with 20gms protein per cup. Another thing is after this, you become more sensitive to lactose. If it's loose stools or stomach cramps with shakes, try some Lactaid beforehand and see if that helps. Good luck!

I love Premier Protein but it took me a while after my surgery to be able to drink them again. It just didn't taste the same. I also make my own Protein Shake. 6oz of all egg whites (by them in the egg section in a small carton) 6oz of Mootopia skim milk (at HEB. If you don't have an HEB, any skim milk will do) and 2 Tblsp of chocolate nestle powder no sugar added. It's approx 30 grams of Protein. You can't taste the egg. It tasks just like chocolate milk.

My surgeon does not allow RTD Protein drinks nor does he allow powders mixed with anything other than Water or diluted juice. This is so unfair!! (Sorry I'm feeling sorry for myself!)

THIS! I think I tried/sampled 10 -15 different Proteins until I got what I liked. My current favorite is Isopure unflavored. I can mix it with anything. Water, tea, coffee, Soup, yogurt, etc....

Protein powder mixed in 0% greek yogurt is a terrific Protein punch. That doesn't make any sense.

I just got some unflavored this weekend. I don't know what I will use it on yet, still on soft foods. I plan to use it with some crystal light, I am getting tired of the Protein drinks.

My favorite thing is to mix it with Soup. You still get the Protein but you don't get that sweet taste.
