I am 8 days post-op and I have been mixing my own shakes (100% Whey Isolate by Kaizen- purchased at Costco) I love that it has 35g of protein per scoop but the taste and watery texture is really getting to me I could drink it if I could chug it back, but that's not an option anymore
They container is almost empty (DH drinks it as well) and I am looking to buy something new.
Does anyone have any recomendations?? I know everyone likes Premier Protein Shakes, but they's so much more expensive and have less protein.

For what it's worth, I LOVED the taste and texture of Opti ..... I wish I could find something similar to that.

Thanks for the help!

I use nothing but Kaizen. I usually but some kind of frozen fruit in it. If you use a frozen banana it comes out just like a milk shake. And I also always use almond milk and I never find i****ery.

I use both the chocolate and vanilla as well to make protein muffins.

I love the products from iwindirect They will send you free samples. I find their whey powder has no after taste like many of the others. The cappuccino one is awesome.

As I sit here reading your post I am sipping on my protein shake its about the only thing I get down, everything else makes me gag. I am 7 days post op and finding this stage really hard. I bought the whey Isolate from Presidents Choice it has 37 grams protein and 3 grams carbs but thats with 3 scoops and its really thick.Do you mix it with water or milk I have been mixing with water but this morning I thought I would try milk and it seems to be more satisfying.

The one I use is just one scoop and it's so thin and watery.  I mix with 1% milk right now and it's blah :(    I think the reason I liked the Opti was because it was thick!   I liked that!
