I'm on my Unjury liquid diet, and while I can handle it just fine, the sweetness and milk-base is definitely not my favorite. I will stick to my diet, but I'm hoping to have more options post-op. Are there any protein drinks that are less shakey and more water-based (think Powerade but protein drink)? Also low carb and sugar free?

Edit: after more sleuthing I found Atkins Lift. Any experience with this?

My favorite is genepro - it's an unflavored protein powder with 1g carb per 30g protein and it mixes well with most liquids. I personally mix one scoop with 1 cup unsweetened almond milk as my morning protein shake. Immediately post op I often mixed it with bone broth or chicken broth.

Oh I like the idea of mixing it into one broth! Great idea.

Mossyvsg, you might want to watch the following video. There has been much discussion in this site regarding Genepro's claims that their protein powder contains 30g of protein per tablespoon, but that a tablespoon only weighs 11g so it is not possible for it to contain 30g of protein. There is a lawsuit in process against them for false advertising.

The video reads all the information in the lawsuit that you can't read yourself because you have to join to read it:

Oh gosh, what a bummer. I just bought a new container! I guess I'll keep using it until it's gone and see how the lawsuit turns out and then try out Unjury.

Isopure from GNC has a lot of clear liquid flavors, I used them but found it hard to find a flavor I liked. I ended up using unflavored protein powder in unsweetened almond milk and mixed in some PB2 for added flavor without the sweetness.

Is an unflavored mix something I could potentially mix in with something like Powerade and or sugarfree lemonade and it taste alright?

Personally I think it just tastes like SF Lemonade mixed with sour milk. Try a sample before you invest in any protein powder. They flavor it to hide some of the taste..

I don't think it would be very good mixed in with a clear type juice, it would make it a milky juice:-) But the Isopure is bottled and clear already in individual glass bottles. You can buy just one and see if you like it. The grape one was the only one I could tolerate.
