Protein Shakes

Okay, I haven't received my date of surgery yet but I am trying to prepare myself for Post-op.  I have tried the Vanilla Unjury protien shake & just about threw up!  It was absolutely horrible!!!!  Not to mention the awful smell.  I have Unjury Chocolate, Strawberry Sorbet, & CHicken Soup flavors but I am almost to scared to try them.  Any suggestions on a protein drink/shake that is better than what I have experienced?     

The Slimfast low carb tasted the best to me, but since I am lactose-intolerant it sat in my stomach like a rock.  Same with sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast, but it tastes okay.  Some people like the New Whey protein "bullets"; I can choke down a 25g one diluted with water, but the 42g ones taste foul to me.  Since I can barely stomach any of them, I have been decidedly lacking in protein my first few weeks.  Hope you have better luck than I!!    --Dorothy

I have the baratric advantage chocolate and vanilla. put them in the blender with ice and skim milk and they are quite palatable.

Have you tried to put strawvberries in the vanilla?  I can tolerate it with fruit in it but not alone. Goodluck!

There's sugar-free syrups that you can get at www.bariatriceating.com that really help.  I have the Matrix 5.0 protein shakes in both the perfect chocolate and the cookies and cream, and they aren't that bad, but they get old fast.  I tried some amaretto and some butterscotch sugar free syrups in them, and it really helps bring new life to them! The ones I bought were DaVinci brand, and were about $8 a bottle, but you only use about a Tbsp or two with each shake.
