protein shakes suggestions????

Hello to everyone! I am exactly 2 weeks and 4 days post op and I feel better. Still a little tired but I know that will change soon. My problem is my protein. I feel so overwhelmed geting in 64 oz. of water and protein and I have neglected protein! I know that this is bad. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I should do to get them in? Thanks and I hope all is well!!!!!! Finda Nessy

NECTAR fuzzy navel can be picked up at Vitamin Shoppe! Love the stuff. Tastes like orange juice to me. I can easily get my protein in drinking it because I LOVE orange juice! Will taste little powdery at first, but you overcome...it's just thicker than an average drink of orange.

FINDA!!!! hey girl, how was your surgery? Do you still have my number? Let me know how you are. Ashley

I had a similar problem, I got all my protein in, but I hated every minute of it! I couldn't find a protein drink out there that I liked and didn't make me feel like crap after I was all done. I am 6 weeks post-op and still supplement with a product called Profect. ( you can often find the advertisement on flashing around on the message boards. It's a little pricey, but it has really gotten me through. It's only 2.7 ounces per drink, it tastes real sweet with no protein taste at all and comes in 4 or 5 flavors. I like Fresh Citrus Berry and Blue Rasberry Swirl. It also only has 100 calories, 0 fat and 25 grams of protein! http://protica.com/order.htm is the website... Although I have recently began buying it at Ubid.com.. Just type in keyword Protica. I have also heard a rumor that if you email through the website they will send a free sample so you can try it out. I love the stuff and it's been a true lifesaver for me and my protein goal! Good luck. 273/239.5/135

I was wondering if anyone had tried that product I always see on the top of the boards. I drank NECTAR roadside lemonade immediately post op... it's ok.. kind of like a foamy lemon beverage. I might have to give it a try.

i had the exact same problem. all the drinks i sampled tasted overly sweet or were massive quantities. so i use maxpro from max muscle. it dissolves completely in liquid (no grainy bits!) and a full scoop can be mixed into only 6 ounces of water (or lactaid milk*) for 30 grams of protein. * i mix with lactaid milk for an extra 6 grams of protein (36 grams/shake)

Hey Nessy, I drink Isopure zero carbs. They have 40 grams of protein for a 20oz bottle the come in different flavors and can be purchased at GNC. The taste pretty go a very mild aftertaste. Adam
