I know how you feel. I am only a week and half post op and I am tired of liquids PERIOD!! Have you tried the costo shakes? They are not bad, especially the chocolate. They are also 30 grams of protein. I also have HERBALIFE protein shakes, in chocolate. Can you tell I like chocolate. Anywho, I take one cup of 1% milk, and two scoops of protein poweder, plus 1/2 a cup of low fat vanilla yogurt, and 4 ice cubes, plus a pack of sweet and low, and it's not that bad. I was doing those before I had the surgery, and that gives you about 30 grams of protein. Hopefully this will help. The costco shakes are not very big, so they may be easier to to stomach. Good luck!

thanks bjkordes,i will try it.

I use the v
nutrabio flavored whey protein. you have to get it online but worth it. no smell, dissolves easily and not chalky or gritty. www.nutrabio.com. I tried so manyand . hated them I just add some torani syrup for flavor or vanilla extract. blend either fruit and 1 % milk it's great

I use Synthrax Nectar, they have many flavors and I like the taste. Try getting samples of some different products so you can try a few different brands until you find one you like. Make sure you buy from a store that takes refunds. I couldn't tolerate many of the shakes either, it's just trial and error till you find a good one for you. Good luck.

I was told to stop protein shakes after 2 weeks because of extra calories. I know everyone is different but why does everyone keep drinking them afterwards?

The thought of a protein shake still makes me want to gag...LOL

I did really good with sugarfree pudding and protien powder instead

It really helped me

Rick, I 'm almost 3 years out and I still drink a protein shake first thing every morning. Studies show getting 30 grams of protein in within 30 minutes of waking causes your body to burn more calories throughout the day (GBS or no GBS). I can't eat enough real food to get my 70 grams of protein in each day without the protein shake.

Regina, I used different protein drinks along the way...I started with the clear, Isopure-type drinks (hated them). Then I used EAS lite. When I couldn't stand them any more, I used Muscle Milk 100. Now I use Gold Standard Powder - Extreme Milk Chocolate. The colder they are the easier to tolerate. I also use a large milkshake straw (helps not to have to smell the protein). I only had/have to get 1 drink it a day...but I use 2 scoops of protein powder in my shake so I start the day with 30 grams.

Protein melts fat and if you want to succeed you want protein. There are hundreds if not thousands of proteins to choose from. Only buy from stores that take returns. Be persistent and keep searching. You will be rewarded for your persistence. I love Maxpro from muscle max

Thanks to all of you,i will follow your advice and hope things will be all right...

Everyone seem to go through this with the protein drinks ! I finally found out if I add different flavors to them I can get it to the point I LIKE them .. I use frozen almond milk cubes or milk cubes . i break them up in the blender and add the peanut butter flavoring and or coconut flavoring to the ice chips oh, and add a tiny bit of the milk, or almond milk to it. Put the protein powder in and blend away. lol You can find chocolate or chocolate peanut butter protein powder at walmart or what ever flavor you want, but just make sure to find a fun flavor to add and make it an enjoyable meal. Adding frozen bananas and breaking them up like the cubes are also tasty. Experiment.

I drink right now GNC's Total Lean Vanilla Bean shake! I LOVE IT! For now I should say lol Im sure i will get sick of it!
