I wasn't able to stomach the protein drinks either. I found that by using the hydrolyzed protein isolate in savory foods I did better. Also, I could mix a scoop of the powder (20g) into tepid water, just enough to dilute it, and then drink (gag ; -) that down so I could have whatever without the taste/smell of the powder
Alyssa, everyone is different when it comes to protein drink preferences. I myself like both Unjury and Premier. Unjury is made with skim milk and premier is mixed with water. Premier has premade protein shakes that you can get at Wal mart and I would suggest trying either of these. I have never been a fan of the fruit protein drinks, but that is me. Others have said that those are really good.
What protein drinks have you tried so far?
Once you are able to eat solids, you can focus protein needs in the form of meats. So, protein shakes won't be a long term necessity. I am 14 years post op and I still use them, but more for just a light breakfast or quick on the go meal.

I love Optimum Nutrition! I don't know if it's recommended for RNY though. I'm struggling with them on their own though because I find they are too sweet for me.
This is going to sound weird, but try a different brand. I get the Aldi and Walmart brand of Vanilla and love it! I've tried just plain and I'm not as big of a fan of it.
Have you tried a variety? Some taste better than others, genuinely.
Unfortunately, there is no pill you can take, but there are protein bars and such that can help you and other forms of protein that aren't dairy based. It really depends on you though. I see a lot of people doing Premier Protein.
I am a newbie here, just registered and have so much to say and ask. I weigh 415 and am 5'6".
I'll start with a question about Protein drinks. I am scheduled for surgery on November 10, not long away and am shaking like a leaf with fear because of some underlying health issues and have told the surgery will be extra risky for me so I'm trying to concentrate on after the surgery. I want to do everything I can to stay healthy and not have too much hair loss but having tried almost every protein drink I could find I still haven't found one I can get down because of the taste. I am not a milk drinker to begin with. Is there a vitamin or pill type supplement for protein that we can substitute or any other suggestions of how I can maintain proper protein levels without getting ill. I would really appreciate any feed back anyone could give me.

I have experienced gout flare ups off and on for the past 2 years. On 9/14/15, I had RNY surgery. I have been drinking protein shakes and eating small meals since surgery. Two days ago my gout flared up again. I have been to the doctor and started MORE medications. Does anybody have any idea what protein shakes will assist me in obtaining my protein goals and not increase uric acid? Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thank you.
congratulations on your baby and thank you so much for your reply.
