Hi Everyone,
I had surgery 4/3/09.  I am in the past the 3 days of diluted juice and in the phase where one must start the protein shakes and drink fluids.  The protein shakes suck!  I tried the cytosport drinks and they have way too much artifical sweetner in them.  What else can I do to get my protein in?

Thanks

try atkins shakes  OR slim fast LOW CARB  OR  worldwide pure protein... all of these have much better taste.

There's a whole world of protein shakes out there. Try to get samples until you find one you like!

I had trouble getting them in too.  However, I found if I put the non-flavored protein powder in chicken broth or boullion it went down much easier.

When we believe, all things are possible!

Which unflavored protein did you like best?
I am wanting to get some, but can't decide who to try!

I really do not like the unflavored powder that I have.  It stinks and you can taste it in whatever you put it in.  So much for tasteless.
I move on to my next phase, pureed food.  Any pointers on that?
