Will these shakes taste any better after surgery.  Just curious if my taste buds will change.

Some people say their tastes change,  mine didn't.  I find it easier to drink them if i put a piece of a banana and some berries in them.   Take care sweetie,   remember,  walk, sip, rest and repeat and be very good to yourself the first month post op.   :o) jeani

Yep! You just have to find one you like. I like GNC AMP60 Wheybolic extreme  in vanilla, chocolate or cookies and cream. Add a little SF chocolate syrup or powder, splenda and i/4 cup of coffee and with skim milk and it is delicicous. I had the people at Starbucks show me how to make it taste like a mocha latte. I just change flavors based on my mood. It works for me. It took me about a month of trial and error before I got it right. YOu have to find one that works for you. Good Luck!

My tastes didn't change after my procedure, although I've seen a few people post that theirs did.  Right now I'm using GNC AMP60 Wheybolic extreme, chocolate flavor.  One scoop contains 90 calories/20 grams of protein.  You can boost the protein even more by adding skim milk.

My tastes didn't change much, but my desires sure did - hardly wanted anything post-op and even when I went to solid foods, my tastes were for the simplest foods - chilis, stews, soups.
Protein shakes?  I'm an Unjury fan; it's the only one I've used and I drink one shake for breakfast every single day - boring, right?  That's the point, no food decisions in the a.m., just my protein shake to get the day off to a nutrious, simple start.  It must be helping as I'm down 127 lbs. inless than 6 mos.

They didn't for me.

I found Muscle Milk Light ready to drink the most tolerable. It's thick so I dulited the 8.5 oz. serving with 8 oz. of cold water and this enabled me to drink it for the 6 months I was on protein shakes.

After 6 months I stopped using protein shakes and resolved to get all my protein from food.

Good luck,
George

I tell everyone this...but please try Jay Robb powder.  This stuff is amazing.  Can't taste the protein at all, they are not thick...and they come in the best flavors ever!!  My favorites are pina colada, tropical dreamsicle, and strawberry.  They also make chocolate (never tried), vanilla (didn't like) and unflavored (never tried).  GNC carries them and you can also order them directly from the website with free shipping.  YUMMM!!  Tastes like something you'd get at orange julius.
