I could not handle the premiere Protein shakes. They upset my stomach immediately. So I went through several powders and ready made shakes to try to find one I liked and didn't make me ill. I've ended up using Unjury's powder. I have strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate. There are tons of fun flavorful recipes on Pinterest. I use Fairlife fat free milk because it has 12 grams of Protein in one cup. My favorite recipe right now is a cup of milk, vanilla powder, and pumpkin spice extract with a little stevia. Tastes like fall but more importantly, it doesn't taste like powder. I have also really liked Isopure's Unflavored Pure whey Protein. I've mixed that in Gatorade Zero, Jello mix, and even Peanut Butter. You really cannot taste it. All of these I ordered through Amazon or purchased at my doctors office.

It's really frustrating trying to find one because you want to get protein in. Just keep trying and don't give up.

Thank you so much. I will keep trying but they get so expensive and I'm a single mom living on assistance going to school full time so money is real tight. I will keep plugging away and hope I find one that I like and can stick with.

Keep your receipt and take them back if you don't like them. I'm in Canada, but never had issues taking them back after trying one shake and not liking. They are expensive and you shouldn't have to keep it if you don't like it. Also, some places have samples that can be bought before buying in large quantity. Hope that helps. Good luck :)

There is a website called bariatriceating.com I bought some Protein powder from them and it was DELISH! it's a tad on the pricey side, but honestly, I have never bought such a smooth and easy mixing powder. I mixed it with Almond Milk (you can do Water if you want) and literally just stirred it with a spoon and it COMPLETELY dissolved. The pumpkin Pie flavor was AMAZING.

I think that Protein powder will be part of my life forever. 20 gr of protein, zero fat, zero carbs in a small volume? Turns a glass of v8 juice into a Protein Drink? It's amazing.

      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.
