Protein Shake Hell! Help!

Hi!

I am 2 weeks Post OP RNY and I am having a horrible time finding a protein drink I can tolerate. I can't do WHEY protein unless it is an isolate because I have developed full-blown lactose intolerance. I tried the IsoPure - and though it's expensive, I gag on the taste.

I have tried NECTAR's Twisted Cherry - but that was gross too! I need some tips! Anyone else tried any of the other NECTAR flavors?

Hi there.  Congrats on your surgery!

To this day I cannot fathom drinking a protein shake.  I drank them up until my surgery and then the thought of them make me sick to my stomach. 

Anyway, I have found Isopure drinks at GNC.  A 20oz. bottle has 40g of protein.  They come in many different flavors (my favs are icy orange and grape frost.)  That is how I usually get most of my protein in.  They are expesive, but I have to have protein and this is the only way I get it.   

I remember the first few weeks having bad bowel issues.  It gets better.  Best of luck.

Hi Andie,

I just started using GNC Lean Muscle Meal.  I like it.  I only use one-half package, and I add a half of a banana and blend it up.  It is expensive, but it is the best I have tried.  It comes in 20 pack boxes, but it is really 40 servings because you only use half.

congrats!

I use Energy Max, and get it at GNC... check out eggfaces' bio.  There are some good protein shake recipes.  Good luck

Nectar's cappachino (sp?) might be something you might try....make it up WARM....that is how I do my protien shakes each morning.  I brew a cup of decaf, put in my creamer and then put in my protien powder (make sure it is not too hot or you get awful curdle clumping! nasty)...

I could not stand the cold shakes.  Bleck!
