Can't do the protein $#!!

I had surgery 4/10 and I have tried the proti diet and the smell makes me dry heave. Lord knows I don't need to through up anything because of the pain of throwing up. So I brought some Unjry unflavored-- hello it is the same things all over again. As soon as I open the container I start to gag, I tried to mix it with mash potatoes and then tried yogurt as soon as it hit my tongue it came right back up. So of course my stomach was hurting from vomiting. I talked to my pcp and she told me her main concern was me getting my vitms in and staying hydrated so I decided to try to eat more things with more protein in them. I made carnation breakfast and added a tablespoon of pb, I eat tuna, chili etc but for some reason when I try to use the protein supplments they make sick and then I don't wanna eat at all. Has anyone else had this issue ? I make sure I take my biotin daily w/vitms because I don't wanna loose my hair but how can someone tell you that you have to eat stuff that makes you sick! I just can't and I get so frustrated with the diet because she says that it is all mental--- I told her how is it mental when you attempt to do something and then when you do you throw it back up--now what exactly am I acheiving. I'm not getting any thing out of it and I'm wasting money on different products.

I understand it made me gag...Never vomited from it....But I know...more advice...But please try to make a smootie with it....Ice... fruit and then just add 1/2 protien...See I had a problem it was too heavy at first on my stomach....Please let me know how you are doing.....

Hi LaNaya, I don't like the taste or smell of Whey Protein. This is what I am doing. I bought a quality protein from GNC. It's called GNC PRO PERFORMANCE WHEY PROTEIN. This is instanized and tasteless. I place 8 ounces of skim milk in a blender with half a banana and some frozen mixed berries, add some Splenda and it is real good. This gives you 21 grams of protein with 220 calories. This 1 Lb container will set you back around $27 bucks. Good luck! Let me know if this works for you. Eric

right there with you! the stuff makes me ill! I also HATE splenda!

I must say the protein powder they gave me from the hospital is VILE. But I have been on protein shakes for years and I love the EAS and Atkins ones. Sadly, I can only get those in chocolate flavour here, and chocolate flavour has been forbidden for the while. So I'm using IsoWhey, which isn't great, but I have two huge barrels to finish. Once I can take the chololate though, I'll head back to Atkins or EAS. What a pleasure. They're so good, I wonder if they're wrong for me.

Sam here! I haven't vomited but looking the package of Beneprotein or Unjury makes me nauseous!!! My Dr. said to do whatever I can to get in some protein. He is very understanding because he has tried the stuff himself & doesn't like it. I also HATE thick drinks. If it's not an ice cream shake it better be as thin as water or I can't do it. I'm over 2 weeks post now and the only thing not making me nauseous is orange juice and water. I can't get in enough protein or fluids no matter what I do. They make mouth strips or patches for everything now...why not protein and vitamins???

I am the same way...never been able to get my protein shakes in..just the smell makes me gag and they are all too sweet...so I went to GNC and got some of those Isopure protein type waters...they are around 4.00 ea or you can buy a case of 12 for like 42.99..but they have 40 grams of protein in 20 oz of water. My nut said I could count the water towards my liquids for the day. The alpine punch tastes the best to me. But they have several flavors.

Hi LaNiya, I know exactly what you mean! I tried Unjury pre-surgery and liked it, and bought a case of it. Post-surgery though, I can't stand the stuff! And the Isopure drinks taste like barf to me. The only ones that taste good to me so far are Instone high-protein light pudding, and Muscle Milk light. I got them at GNC. Also, I think the EAS shakes are quite tasty. Good luck, Lisa

been there I was gagging and almost puking from the shake to where I went a week with no protein at all! I went online and bought syntax nectar protein It comes in many flavors and they are very good!! I got caribbean cooler taste just like a pina colada sometimes I blend a 1/4 of a a banana with it. I also bought fuzzy navel I put 2 oz of OJ with it and ice cold water it is very good too. I now drink 3 a day and they have 24 g of protein per scoop. I know about mental I can't stand the chewable vitamins first they were just gross now I get sick from them. I now break them up and swallow them no chewing for me. I found them at a website and they were 24.00 a jug and with **** was like 52.00. which is cheaper then gnc 57.00 a jug for nasty isopure perfect!

Do you like carnation instant breakfast? Or do you like plain milk?? You can add some non fat dry milk powder to either one and it will add 8g of protein to what you're drinking. For an 8 oz. Carnation IB, it makes it 21 grams of protein. I get the no sugar added kind. I also drink an additional 16 oz. of milk for my fluid intake per day so there's 16 more grams of protein I'm getting in just by drinking. I also made a 25g of protein/serving worth of co co wheats the other day as well. I have no problems in the protein department. I'll never have to consume a protein drink......thank God!! Allie
