So I am almost a month post op, doing really well no pain or anything my only problem is the stupid Protein Shakes. I have nectar fuzzy naval and double stuffed cookie and i can't seem to make either tolerable does anyone have any suggestions of either how to make them more tasty or which ones might be better.

I really like Premier Protein or Pure Protein because they are both really light tasting and not chalky or gross. I was using a powder for a while but it just became disgusting to me, so I ended up having to switch to the pre-made shakes and I don't regret it at all.

I love Quest Protein Shakes and bars. So yummy and you can bake with it too! My favorite is Peanut Butter and they sell it GNC.

Have you googled Bariatric shake recipes? I have many great sounding ways to modify plain shakes. I ordered this and am so glad I did as it not only has ideas but ways to work with the powder to make it the texture/consistency desired: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1480101095/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1441633999&sr=8-1π=SY200_QL40&keywords=bariatric+shakes+book&dpPl=1&dpID=41Q8WEwHzpL&ref=plSrch

Experiment. I found that blending in fruit (a half a banana) made the Protein shakes more tolerable.

I never could tolerate Protein shakes and new i would have a problem...bought the premere at costco and drank one and said hell no and returned the case.

i've tried so many and i hate them all! i have now resorted to slim fast with 1.5 cups of milk and 2 tbsp greek yogurt to dull the sweetness. the total Protein comes in at just over 30 grams. 1 a day is all i can handle.

i have started eating low fat ricotta cheese with a tiny drop of Tomato sauce, it has saved my life! it actually makes me happy to have 2 tbsp of that and i eat it lunch and dinner.

Unjury has been my favorite post-op! I make them in my nutrition-bullet rx with 8 oz of FairLife 2% milk and some ice to make it milkshake like. Both the vanilla and the chocolate splendor have been my fave so far. I'm going to try a tsp of creamy Peanut Butter in my chocolate splendor tonight. I tried the unflavored in cream of broccoli Soup last night and almost vomited! I made sure the temp was below 140* and it was still gritty and clumped....never again! The chicken soup Unjury is also good!

I used to like Premier Protein pre-op but hated it post-op. And all the other whey Protein shakes/powders I tried. They just left a nasty after taste. I started using Vega Protein. It's a vegan Protein Powder with 20 grams of protein per serving, and 120 cals. I love it! It cost $24 for a 16 serving container but well worth it. I'm on my 3rd container.

      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.
