Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!

Melissa,

I know how you feel, I got so sick of shakes I could hardly stand it.  Then I tried putting unflavored protein in chicken broth, beef broth, and vegetable broth (not at the same time!).  That first swallow of warm soup seemed like the best thing I had ever tasted!  I even sprinkled some spices like cumin and paprika in to jazz it up some.  I used the GNC brand unflavored 100% whey protein.  The sweet shakes were about to do me in by day 4 post-op, but I think I could have done the broths for two or three weeks if I had to (thank goodness Dr Mac doesn't require that!)

Have you tried ISOPURE? It's more like drinking kool-aid...40gr of protein in a 20oz bottle. I get them at GNC. Taste good to me and they're not "milk" like. You can buy the bottles individually to see which you like.
