I just posted a thread about this. Love it. Absolutely like lemonade and NO whey AFTERTASTE. And it's 100 % whey Protein isolate- beat Protein you can consume.

I used to be able to drink premier shakes. Now they make me sick to the point of not being able to eat for the rest of the day, or drink. I haven't been able to find the Isopure.< /p>

They gave me liquicell Protein in the hospital after surgery. It's like drinking orange kool-aid. You can buy it on Amazon in concentrate. It gives you 16 grams of Protein for 90 calories. I like that and the ProtiDiet concentrate too. Atkins has a Protein Drink called Lift that is good too. A little more expensive than the liquicell per serving.

You could also try plant based Protein powder. I found that animal based makes me extremely physically ill. The dietician suggested trying planted based because it might be an allergy to the animal based. I tried and found that I am able to tolerate and keep the plant based down so much easier. The one I use is called Vega - you never know give it a try it might help.

Have you tried unflavored GENEPRO? I heard it's awesome! You can put it in anything and you can get it off Amazon.< /p>

@@Marissa.Ann.C,

I can see why you’d be upset, but try not to panic just yet! Some types of Protein, for some people, are just awful! There’s no real rhyme or reason to it, so it’s very possible that you could absolutely hate a type of Protein (in this case, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup and unflavored) even if tons of other people like it.

I would say…keep trying. Try other brands of unflavored powder, and try other flavors and brands of chicken flavored Protein Powder. You can also look for other brands and flavors of protein Soup.< /p>

You could also try preparing your powder differently, such as adding it to milk or even coffee or tea instead of Water. You can’t have coffee post-op, but Decaf tea should still be okay.

Then there is the whole world of chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and all kinds of sweet Protein shake flavors to try. You can try powders and readymade shakes from about a million different brands. Starting with single-serve packs is a great way to try them, and you can also think about starting with the cheapest options, since more expensive ones don’t always taste better.

Good luck – you’ll find something if you keep looking long enough!

      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.
