I am on 6 day post surgery and I have been in full liquids and also Protein shakes. I don't like the Premier Protein shakes does anyone have any other kind they like or make their own?

I haven't been told yet which Protein shake I am supposed to use but pre of I have been using Body Fortress Advanced whey with 60 grams of Protein and the chocolate on is the one I use , it tastes pretty good and it has good protein but I buy it at Walmart for about 20.00 not sure if you can use it but it's worth asking about.

I have always preferred making my own to using the premade ones. My favorite Protein powders are Unjury (Chocolate splendor, or chicken Soup made with warm Water instead of milk for a savory change), Syntrax Nectar (cappuccino or chocolate truffle but they have tons of flavors), Chike Iced coffee (or really any of their flavors), Syntrax Matrix -- any flavor, and Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard, any flavor but especially their double chocolate flavor.

I usually mix mine with unsweetened vanilla almond or cashew milk, and add a couple of teaspoons of instant coffee.

Okay thank you!! I am going to try unflavored Protein and add it 2 my Soups

That's exactly what I do. I can't taste the Syntrax nectar Unflavored, but it doesn't have as much Protein as other brands. I can't taste it at all. I've also added it to hummus and to ricotta. I love that I can't tell that it's in there.

Anyone have suggestions for other brands of unflavored/tasteless Protein powder?

I put the Premier Protein caramel shake in Decaf coffee or sugar free hot chocolate and that helps. I know you don't like the premier, and I'm not a fan of it either, but this way you can't taste it. And I also put a scoop of unflavored Protein in it to get even more protein in. Be careful though because some people become lactose intolerant after surgery :(

I know there's a lot of controversy around GENEPRO, but my surgeon's office recommends it. And I love it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
