Hi Gang,

My surgery is the 31st of this month so in a week I will be starting my liquid diet.  What do you think are the best tasting protein powders or drinks? Thanks so much!

I prefer ones without asulfamene potassium sweetner (tastes too sweet and bitter to me).  I chose ISO pure dutch chocolate, ISO 100 vanilla, and the Jay Robb powders b/c they are splenda or stevia sweetened.  For ready to drink, the GNC total lean were ok too - but those do have the sweetner I don't like.

My favorite is double rich chocolate from optimum nutrition.  I like that it's not a super sweet chocolate, it's more of a semisweet.  I've been using it since January in at least one shake a day, and I'm not sick of it yet!  I mix it with unsweetened original almond milk.

Adkins protein shakes are good, also pure protein shakes at walmart are good.

Marie:   From day one after my surgery,  I have used the UNJURY vanilla and chocolate splendor in Almond milk  blended with ice.   They are easy on the stomach and great tasting and fill me up.   Sometimes I add some cinnamon.   I also use the UNJURY chicken soup flavored one for lunches and I find it quite pleasant.  Some of the other protein shakes were too dense and my new stomach didn't like them - I used to love Atkins shakes but can't abide them now  (you can't go by what you like now - once you get your new stomach your tastes change).    Good Luck.  Harris

My go to RTD is Premier Protein. I also like the Bananna Creme by Muscle Milk.

As far as powders, my favorite is the Syntrax Matrix Double Stuff Cookie. I also like all of the Unjury flavors. My suggestion is to get samples from a site such as nashuanutrition.com. Unjury also has a sampler package.
