I'm so sorry to be repetitive (I've already posted a few times about my protein drink issues) but I am so worried because I'm not getting the protein down.  I finally today forced down a premier protein drink.  It is the best of the bunch but I'm not sure if it is the smell or what, it is very hard for me to drink.  I'm worried to death about the hair loss I will experience because of this.  Other than this one thing, my pre and post surgery experience have been great, much better than I thought.  Anyway, my last and final question on the matter is - Is the supposedly taste free protein powder that you mix into foods actually TASTE FREE?

there is no such thing as taste free protein powder. The unflavored ones just mean they are not flavored with chocholate or vanilla,etc. 

whey protein has a taste and it is a bit sour tasting. 

Hair loss is the lest of the worries. If you don't get enou protein in,your body will start eating your muscles for protein. Considering your heart,lungs and kidneys are muscles,that is more of an issue than hair loss. You should be 

Hi,

I Reduced the water volume by about a half, so instead  of 4 cups total I used 2 cups.

I dissolved 80 grams of protein worth of unflavoured hydrolyzed whey protein isolate into 1 cup luke warm water, avoiding clumping. The luke water seems to aid in this. Hot and cold clump it up.

The jello mix was dissolved into one cup of boiling water and stirred until it was all incorporated. Pour the hot into the cold whey water, to avoid heating  the whey up. Stir to mix and refrigerate to set.

You wind up with jello that has 20 grams of protein per 1/2 cup serving.

Didn't taste bad and went down easy!

Absolutely not.  It smells and tastes like protein powder which to me tastes and smells like sour milk.  Try the BSN Synta-6 and you will not go back to anything else.

Protein drinks smell like spoiled milk.  There is one that smells good and tastes good.  It is Syntra-6 from BSN.  Once I found that one it was the only one I used.  When you open the canister and smell it, it smells like cake mix.  It makes great shakes.  I hope you get some.  I have tried everyone out there and the only other one I can stand is premixed Premier, but the BSN is much better.

Instead of a drink, maybe try mixing a bit of unflavored protein into you foods. I did that often during my first 3 months post-op.
