You are so right about your "tastes" changing post operatively. I drank so much protein powder BEFORE I was sleeved, and I absolutely loved it. I looked forward to having it every morning. Now, however, being about 2 1/2 months out, I can't stand the stuff. It makes me dry heave and I have so much trouble finishing it. I'm referring to the chocolate flavored powder that I mix with skim milk. Occasionally I have to switch to Vanilla, and sometimes I will have the Nectar Fuzzy Navel for a change. Problem is, the chocolate I buy from Puritan's Pride vitamin company is sooo much less money, it is as good or better in content than the others, and it contains 30 grams per scoop as opposed to 24 grams for the Nectar and 25 for the Vanilla. So, I try to choke it down. I have a million bottles of flavored syrup, but that does little to disguise the taste. I also bought tons of Proasis, which isn't bad, but unfortunately it's only 24 grams. Protein just tastes really gross to me now, and it is a serious challenge to get my 65 - 80 grams every day. Like you, I also stocked up like crazy before the surgery. That is why I have 7 tubs of the chocolate powder left, even after two months! So good luck to you and I really hope you don't lose your taste for the protein. I'm also quite impressed that you have lost so much weight already. Way to go!
