Get an unflavored protein powder and put it in warm (not hot) broth with some seasonings.

You can also try half a serving to one 8 oz glass and do that twice. It's a little easier until you get usued to the sweetness. I use it to sweeten cereals and oatmeal...I use it in my coffee instead of sugar too. I mix into SF jello.. The unsweetened protein you can get at GNC (In their brand) or order Unjury online which I have not tried, but heard others love it. Good luck...Just make sure you do get your protein! You need it for muscles and healing and nutrition! I'm not crazy about protein supps either...but I do what I have to do! :)

You might want to try protein capsules. No taste issues, no bloating. They're called Capsul-Pro and you can buy them at www.nashuanutrition.com Good luck!

About the "Protein Capsules" that Jon is recommending. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We believe the product is grossly mislabeled -- that it exaggerates the amount of protein you are getting by 4 times. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ They claim 11 grams of protein (and they do link that amount to the % Daily Value so they cannot say they mean something different). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ But if there were 11 grams of protein in THREE capsules as they claim, the bottle would weigh more than FOUR TIMES as much as it does. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just thought you would want to know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jerome UNJURY (R) Protein

Hi Deana, I couldn't stand the shakes either. I ordered Nectar, Fuzzy Navel flavor and mix it with one packet Crystal Light Lemonade and 10 to 20 oz of water. I recieved it two days after I ordered it. It tastes like orange juice. Pat

Hi - I have not yet had surgery, but am concerned about this very issue...I've done a bit of research in anticipation of it and found a protein drink that has a "chicken soup" flavour. They are great! Product by HMR, you can by them online...one spot is here: http://www.intelligenthealthcenter.com/products/default.htm?gclid=CLvruKyDqpICFQGYiQodEUxGLw Good luck!

Isopure clear liquid drinks from GNC are the only protein drinks I drink. 150 cal. and 40 grams of Protein. I don't even think they have much sugar. I can check. They come in Icy Orange, Melon, Apple. Especially once the weather is nice put it on ice... dilute it even and enjoy. Angela B.

Everyone is different and can tolorate or not tolorate different protien sources. I had difficulty with ALL of the protien sources I had found before surgery, and tried to be prepared by having several different types on hand. Did not do me any good. If you go to www.barriatriceating.com, there are a lot of different brands and types of powdered and liquid protien. They will ship it to you. You should read labels on anything that you select (especially from GNC), but Barriatric Eating is run by a lady that had surgery, so the quality of what they offer is a little better. (At least in my humble opinion). Good luck to you. Also, if you must stick with your current source, I agree that diluting it further - half serving powder mixed with full serving of water - is a good idea. Dani

Try the unjury products, I just order the chicken soup, and unflavored protien powder. Mix the soup with warm chicken broth, and I mix the unflavored powder with unsweeten applesauce, warm tomatoe soup, Wendys chili, or anything else I can find thats low fat and sugar free. So check out the site at www.unjury.com it even has some reciepes there to copy also. I got my first taste of these products at my Drs. presurgery classes. So good luck...
