Hello,

I had my sleeve surgery exactly one week from today and Protein shakes are too sweet. HELP What can I do? Also, my stomach makes terrible noises all day and to top it off diarrhea started today. Please tell me this will pass.

Try the Unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein Powder. Get unflavored Protein powder and mix with beef broth, chicken broth, or miso broth. Mix unflavored with cottage cheese or yogurt (if you are allowed to eat those things right now). Use a half-scoop of protein powder instead of a full one, or if you are using RTD, cut it 50/50 with skim milk, unsweetened almond milk or unsweetened cashew milk.

Yes, the terrible noises are normal and yes the diarrhea eventually goes away. Good luck!

What I did was blended my own to my taste. I generally preferred the chocolate flavored shakes, and found that some of the EAS powders were fairly delicately flavored (at least they were four years ago when I was playing with them), so that I could add a bit of unsweetened cocoa powder to the mix to boost the chocolate flavor but cut the sweetness. One can do a similar thing by using vanilla or unflavored Protein powder and then adding flavor and sweetener to taste.

Try GENEPRO Protein powder. You can buy it on Amazon. It is tasteless and mixes in with literally anything with no lumps. It doesn't change the flavor or consistency of foods. You can put it in hot or cold items. It has 30 grams of Protein per scoop. I usually start my day by adding it to a cup of coffee. I've also put it in yogurt, cottage cheese, Soups, chili, smoothies, juice, anything that is the slightest bit wet. You may like it better that pre-packaged Protein shakes. If you're on liquids still, you can add it to whatever you're sipping on.
