Ok, so I had surgery on Friday..and I can't find a protein powder or drink I like. Most of the pre made drinks are too sweet..any ideas? I haven't been getting in the protein I need..just Popsicles and jello..and help would be great!

I like Unjury brand, they have chicken flavor that I would add to soups after surgery. I don't like it much on its own, I like their chocolate though. I also like EAS low carb. They do sell Isopure, it's a little like Gatorade, they sell it in GNC, I think it has 20 grams of protein in a bottle. Congrats on your resent surgery and good luck on your new weight loss journey!!

I had my surgery just over 2 years ago and I love Syntrax Nectar, Lemon Iced Tea.  I couldn't see myself drinking chocolate or vanilla every day.  That's like having dessert every day.  But I can totally drin****d tea every day.  I have one to two drinks a day and actually have come to crave them.  There are a lot of flavors but this is my favorite one.  I buy them from allstarhealth.com for about $30 a 2 lb. tub.

I agree on both the unjury and syntrax nectar.  I like the pink grapefruit and the roadside lemonade on the nectar.   Unjury you have to buy from them, but the syntrax I found the best price & flat rate shipping at netrition.com

I didn't do protein drinks much at all during recovery.. maybe twice?   I figured I was only going to be on a restricted diet for 2 weeks and I had plenty of energy in reserve in the form of fat.  YMMV.  I mainly ate soups diluted with water or chicken broth and whirled in the blender.  

Best wishes for an uneventful recovery.

I thought they were all soooo nasty except I finally found one I liked. It was EAS creamy chocolate. I tried other Eas choc flavors, but they were awful tasting to me. My friend loved the EAS vanilla

Its very hard because there are so many proteins out there and everyone's tastes are different, another OH member told me about BSN Lean Dessert Proteins, I purchased the Whipped Vanilla (even has little specks of vanilla in it) and the Chocolate Pudding, they are excellent don't really taste like protein shakes to me more like milk shakes. Yummy!

I also have Proteinex its a liquid protein, concentrated 2 Tbsp delivers 18g of protein you can drink it straight from the bottle without mixing it with anything, or just add a little water (about 1/4 cup).  Comes in Lemon Lime, Black cherry, grape.  This is great if you don't want to add any milk, water or juice to your protein.
Thank You,


Heather
