Hey all,
I had my surgery on May 28th, all went well and I have lost 31 pounds so far.  I am very happy with that, but.... I haven't been taking my protein.  It's been about a week now and i have noticed that I haven't lost any weight since I stopped taking the Prostat.  Could this be why?  Do you have any suggestions on what other supplements I can take that won't make me throw up?  The nutritionist has given me one other option but she told me that Prostat was better.  What do you think?... I am scared that I'm going to hurt myself if I don't take it but I just cant keep it down.  What do I do>?

Isopure, Low carb mix or ready to drink. Any Whey unflavored protein powder.  Pure Protein ready to drink shakes. Lean Body ready to drink.  Many options, go to Vitamin Shop or check out bariatric eating.com

Angela gave you great advice!!  Vitalady sells samples of all kinds of proteins - so you don't have to buy a huge tub of something to see if you like it.

I tried lots before I discovered Lean Dessert brand - I love the chocolate and vanilla.  I also use lots of sugar free torani syrup to flavor the shakes too!  Makes a huge difference when I mix with water.

Are you using milk or water with your shakes?

thanks to all for the advice... i don't want to lose my hair so i will be trying out some of your suggestions... Jennifer,  i don't have the shakes yet... i am on this stuff called prostat 64, even the name gets my stoma*****nots... its just a one ounce shot of protein... and its horrible... i tried again today and i just couldn't stomach it... i am going to order some samples of stuff and in the mean time get all whey or something like that... i don't want to hurt myself anymore than i have... again... i thank all of you for your support and advise... i love this website

Prostat tastes like ass.  You can't have any shakes yet?  Try the bullets - they are even tastier than the Prostat!!  Good luck hon :)

IMHO, Prostat tastes like monkey butt.   Oh well,  there isn't a protein drink I really like, but I can tolerate EAS  AdvantEdge carb control premades.  I get them in Walmart at the cheapest price, 4 for $4.99  but local places like Walgreens and CVS usually have them, at a higher price.  They're 17gm of protein and 2 net carbs in one container.      If I'm using the powder, I buy EAS Pure Premium at Costco, there's 2 versions that look similar, just read the labels,  one is lower carbs and more protein.    If you want me to send you a baggie of it, PM me your address and I'll let you taste it.   I hear Champion Whey is great, but I have 2 bags of EAS to finish before I open another kind.   Good Luck,  it takes a while to find something you can tolerate, and maybe even like!!     Mary C

I'll put a plug in  for my favorite - Sci Fit Mochaccino.  Tastes chcolatey and for me, doesn't have that protein-y taste.  Muscle Milk light is ok.  The isopures were too .... slippery and had that protein taste.  Yuck.  Try something else!

I ordered some samples from Unjury.  The chicken soup I can do...  reminds me of lipton cup of soup.  The chocolate is good..  I make a shake in the magic bullet.  The unflavored I add to coffee.  I am sticking with the Unjury protein powder for now.  I couldn't stand any of the pre-mixed things I bought to try (EAS was one of them)  I also tried the slimfast shakes which were okay, but the Unjury is more like a normal shake, drink, etc... like I don't realize it's even in there (as long as I don't smell it beforehand!)  GOod luck!
