VSG.girl19 0 Posted September 15, 2019 I had my surgery on September 5 and I have purchased Protein Powder, shakes etc. and all of them are nasty!!! I know I need to be drinking them. Does anyone has any suggestions for me?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,221 Posted September 15, 2019 you're bound to get a bunch of different responses to this because people's tastes are all so different. That said, my favorites are/were Syntrax and Unjury products. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colorado Cowgirl 170 Posted September 15, 2019 Unflavored Protein powder. I put it in broth, scrambled eggs, smoothies, etc. At the beginning that was the only way I could get protein in. 1 Krimsonbutterflies reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rays of Sunshine 34 Posted September 15, 2019 have you tried Isopure they have many choices in flavors andn a unflavor and luckily doesn't leave an after tastes like all the ones I have tried the tastes is good but I have only use the dutch choclate and add the unflavor to Soups and other drinks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynda486 784 Posted September 15, 2019 I have been drinking Premier Protein, it has a lot of flavors, I am actually drinking Decaf coffee with the vanilla Protein as my Creamer, not to bad. 1 Serengirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S@ssen@ch 745 Posted September 15, 2019 Unfortunately, this is a situation where "individual tastes may vary" and it's going to be a bit of trial/error for you. My favorite is the Unjury line. I like just about all the flavors and don't mind the RTD variety (others seem too thick, too sweet, almost slimy to me). Best advice I could give: try lots of brands/types/flavors. Don't be afraid to experiment with mixing flavors (my favorite is vanilla with a little Peanut Butter and/or banana). Don't buy lots of whatever type you try until you know it's your fave. Good luck!

Frustr8 7,886 Posted September 15, 2019 The hospital sponsoring the Bariatric Support Group I attend, not my Surgical one, it has ONLY evening meetings, seems to Recommend Celebrate items. But it (KCH here in Mount Vernon) and mine ( OSU- WEXNER Medical Center in Columbus) seem to be getting into the Shake/Bariatric shake business, must be a Coming Thing. But a semi- humorous FYI, when I was rehospitalized November- December 2018 they fed me Liquicell, did They Change Their Mind or is it a case of " Do As I Say, not As I Do" Leads a curious PERSON as I Am to wonder just why?

Frustr8 7,886 Posted September 15, 2019 And May I beat the TomTom for my own favorite Protein Shakes, Ensure High Protein( make sure You don't accidently pick up the 320 calorie version, you want 160 calories) in 🍓, no fakey flakey evaporated milk taste, no bitter after- taste, to me it tastes like strawberry Nesle Quik and the Wild/ Mixed berry in Ensure Max , it's pretty tolerable, might run a Dollar more than Premier Protein and it's Hench- FRIENDS but for me it's the Freshest, made in Columbus Ohio, 48 miles SW of here, Abbott Labs does a multitude of products and also very civic- minded in Franklin County.

GradyCat 3,695 Posted September 15, 2019 I love premade GNC Lean shakes. Also good at Atkins Plus Protein Shakes, both chocolate and vanilla. Premades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted September 15, 2019 Can't have chocolate due to allergy, but evenAtkins Strawberryis Passing Fair. Just watch out for the coffee - containing Atkins, accidently bought some , caffeine level is as Corn in Kansas in August and Precious Pouch who is better than I at Remembering Spanish said " Hola- No Mas" and proceeded to empty herself out! A Very Bad Memory I still retain! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gabybab 696 Posted September 15, 2019 Try GNC they let you sample little cups of their powder. I however never drank one Protein Drink after surgery because of intolerance of whey. I drank high Protein milk and high protein yogurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bastian 458 Posted September 15, 2019 They made me sick post op so my dietician said to just have unflavoured and add it to my drinks/food Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daisy1244 36 Posted September 16, 2019 I take Syntrax lemon tea!! I take it with crystal light. I feel it’s the best thing out there! I’ve been drink it for 7 years. The vanilla and chocolate Protein Shakes were making me gag! This one is drinkable! Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
