There are many protein supplements that do not taste sweet. Mix the unflavored ones with other low fat food items. A friend of mine mixes unflavored Unjury with non fat salad dressings, home made tomato sauces, applesauce, etc. DAVE

LOL.... I'm with you! I'm not normally a sweets person either but put pasta, rice, bread, or that kind of thing in front of me...... that's where my problem is. If you like peanut butter, you could always mix an unflavoured protein drink with "pb2". That's what I plan on doing. It's a powdered peanut butter with 85% less fat and no sugar and I've heard that it's really good. If you Google it, the website for it comes up. It's Bell Plantation or something along that line. Good luck on your surgery!!!

Nobody likes sweets ALL the time...but you can have other liquids than the protein shakes the first two weeks before surgery, take this seriously...it is a very serious thing and your health should be the first thing that you should be worried about not sweets.....

Don't sweat it. There are plenty of protein shakes that are not sweet so you'll have loads to choose from when the time comes. I completely understand what you're feeling though. When I had my surgery, I couldn't stand the thought of having to drink them. I would literally gag while I was making them. Lots of protein is something that you HAVE to do if you want to stay healthy and there's no way you'll even come close to getting in your required amount thru food alone so find the best shake you can for your taste and then do whatever it takes to make sure you're drinking them every day. Good luck to you!

Unjury Protein makes unflavored protein powder that can be added/stirred in to other foods. They also make chicken-soup flavored protein that can be drank like hot chicken broth. They have a website. I think it may be unjury.com but you can just type in Unjury Protein to do an internet search.

Unflavored protien powder (I use soy cos I hate whey!) and blend it with chicken bouillon or some sort of savory broth you like. Now that it is winter, a nice war/hot cup of soup will hit the spot and it will be loaded with protien. And if your further out, you can add some ground flax seed for fiber, a lil more protien and omega 3's and get a heartier meal. Oh man, I feel like having it now! lol

Check out this website that my nurse practitioner suggested: BariatricEating.com They have EVERYTHING for post op protein needs, including protiein soups. Good Luck with your surgery.

I sip a creamy tomato soup with 23g protein. Definitely not sweet. These things are out there for the finding. :-)
