After RNY gastric bypass surgery, the three most important daily requirements are Protein, fluids and Vitamins. After surgery your taste buds change and Protein shakes can taste very nasty. It is important that you find a Protein shake that you can tolerate, you don't have to like it, only tolerate it. So keep experimenting. There are many types available. I used Muscle Milk Light (vanilla Cream) powder with Water. I blended in a half a banana to give it some taste.

I'm about 1 week out and still in Clear Liquids per my docs guidelines, I switched to New Whey Liquid Protein shots. They are still pretty nasty, but I can tolerate 4oz to get 42grams of protein! Then it frees my Fluid intake up for Water and things I actually like. At first I was using Isopure and protein2O and I had to drink them all day long to get my Protein in and it didn't leave much room for anything else.

I love the Isopure from GNC and I get the vanilla so I can add in sugar free flavored syrups. Whatever kind I want! I blend it with a little Ice. They are easier and taste better to me this way! I have peach, strawberry, cherry etc. flavors. Hope you find something you like or even love!
