Hi Wendy -- I had RNY on 6/18 also. Our doctors must have really different theories, because I'm still on liquids for another week ****il day 22 post op). But, I hear you on the protein -- I can't stand beneprotein, unjury, etc. Too chalky and it tastes gross. My doc gives his patients a 1 month supply of Protidiet and it is really good. It is a little liquid packet that you mix with at least 5 oz. of water and it comes in lots of flavors -- orange, grape, fruit punch, peach, etc. 15 grams of protein per packet. It tastes best cold, but it doesn't have that funky protein smell or taste, even if you drink it in room temp water. You can order it from dietdirect.com on line. It's very refreshing and I enjoy drinking it. Good luck! Alex

Have you tried the EAS (AdvantEdge) shakes that you can get at Walmart? I dumped bad on Isopure and so someone suggested these. I have tolderated them and they have 17 gr of protein and only 2 carbs.

I used the isopure and mixed it with sugar free strawberry topping by smuckers. I did not like the shakes either and they had to be cold.Try in the blender with ice. Laura
