Body Fortress Protein Shakes vs. Protein Shots...

Thanks for sharing the information.  I like to mix my protein shakes with water because it's easier for me to get them down and they're not as heavy.  I'm going to order a sampler packet right now. 

Mustangmamma, is the date on your rny correct? If you're only a couple weeks out, your tastebuds may still be wonky from the anesthetic - I know it took mine a good 6 weeks to settle down. I hated almost anything I tried before that time.

Also, the only times I drink ANY shake undoctored are if I wind up late at work ****ep single-serve packets there along with shelf-stable skim milk for those times), or the first time I try any new powder. Otherwise, I always add sugar free syrups and/or crystal light and/or sugar free pudding mix. This isn't because of the actual taste (if I can't stand it plain, I'm done with it), but because I wind up drinking so many of them it prevents me from getting bored.

Hi Rebecca,

I'm only 3-weeks out from my RNY, so I'm certain that my taste buds are still changing.  I keep tasting a chemical taste in almost anything I drink or eat, but especially when I drink protein shakes.  I'm hoping that will change soon.

Someone else mentioned doctoring the shake with SF pudding mix and SF syrups, so I'm going to give that a try next.

Thanks for sharing your insight.

Ok, so you are not only dealing with the anesthesia hang over, you are also likely in ketosis, which will give you a funny metallic taste in your mouth.  It will reduce over time, or else you get used to it: I'm not entirely sure which!

Hang in there - Bariatric Foodie has great ideas for doctoring shakes that also work for doctoring Greek yogurt.

Thanks for the information...
