I have about 6 weeks untill my surgery date and i'm trying to find either some protein shakes i can stand or something equal. I have a week stomach and i haven't been able to find a protein shake i can keep down, not even slim fast unless i make it myself with the powder. I found some protein pudding and i was just wondering if anyone has tried it?
I'm sorry.....I have not tried any protein pudding but do what works for you. I say "TRY IT"....do whatever you need to do to get in your protein. Also try to buy some Beneprotein....it can be added to anything. But I would wait until after surgery.....your taste buds and stomach will change. Hope this helps some.....
Have you tried IDS New Whey protien shots? They are fruity (fruit punch, Grape, and orange)...i like them as a snow cone topper or just a drink...they are 3oz (not the typical 8oz of junk!) and have 42g of protien. you can order them on-,line or you can get the from indivual at Vitamin Shoppe to try the different flavors. There is another brand that has a ton more flavors however in the 3oz there is only 25g of protien... the other brand name is Profect. I thik that both are very similair as far as consistancy and such...just a matter of taste as far as the flavors go.
Also I have heard it is a bunch cheaper to buy sugar free fat free pudding and mix protien powder in in because the already made protien pudding is so expensive.
I like you am pre-op and trying a bunch of different things so I know what i can handle before I need to because I am a gagger.....
So if you find anything else that works plese share it with us!

I haven't really tried anything yet...my surgery is in a little over 3 weeks. I have ordered 4 different things though. New Whey protein bullets that she was talking about above ( I ordered fruit punch, orange, and grape so I could try all 3 flavors), also Nectar Roadside Lemonade, Whey Gourmet in creamy milk chocolate, and some AcheivOne cold coffee type drinks in Vanilla Nut. They should all be arriving soon. I'll update you all once I've tried them!! Anyone else have suggestions??
Okay--just a short update to what I said above......I got my Nectar--Roadside lemonade in the mail today...and the new whey bullets. I tried the new whey Grape bullets---not bad. Kind of a sweet + sour...smells good--with not much afterteaste........................but the nectar is GROSS!!! It doesn't taste half bad...but the smell is awful. I'm bad with smells---if it stinks...I gag. This stinks. I'm bummed! =(
