Protein Helpppppppp!

I am pre- op...Feb.27 is my surgery! I have been trying different liquid proteins...they make me vomit! I tried the isopure fruit ones and Nectar is downright nasty...and so is Myoplex yuck. I tried Unjury and likes those vanilla and chocolate. Then again I can mix the flavorless powders(Beneprotein and Any Whey) in the crystal lites to get the protein I need. Help..I need stuff that is going to taste decent...I will throw it all up!!!! Oh yeah and what happened with Elina?? Shes so sweet.

Hey Kristen- Elina put her notice in on the 27th. Don't be too concerned with the protein- you will get it down- post-op tastes are truly different and you find something that is palatable The unflavored Unjury can hide in just about anything- and my personal favorite is sticking a scoop in a Cup of Soup packet- there are three flavors I like- Broccoli Cheese, Cream of Chicken and Spicy Thai Chicken. You can also try Tomato soup, The new Campbells select butternut squash is good too. Carnation Instant Breakfast isn't bad either. The sugar free variety packs can be found online. Unjury scoop for scoop has more grams of protein than the Beneprotein I believe.

I never did find a protein I could stomach. They all made me SO grossed out and gaggy, post op. Funny thing was- pre op, I didn't mind them. Here's an alternative: Carnation Instant Breakfast No Sugar Added (it comes in three flavors) PLUS Carb Control Fat Free Milk, PLUS a tablespoon or two of powdered milk. Throw it in the blender with ice, and it's quite good. Or, just put it in a shaker and shake well. I can't remember the protain count exactly right now- bit it nets you somewhere around 15 grams of protein for 8oz. Which isn't so bad considering that it doens't taste like $h#*. Good luck to you. Tastes DO change after surgery, so just have a variety of things on hand to try. Best, Lisa C

Hey Kristin, I drink the Atkins Protein shakes, I get them right off the website, they have alot of good flavors. They smell nasty but taste great. I also go to bariatriceating.com and order the powder protein Delite. I tried a sample and you mix it with carb count milk, they are very good. Especially the strawberry and the banana. Give it a shot and see if you like them. Good luck Hugs KimC

I tried a few shakes pre-op and couldn't stand them. Post-op I had trouble but finally found some I can get down. Shop around and if possible find samples. I bought huge things of ISO pure vanilla and I think it was Matrix white chocolate and strawberry ... I gave them To Nancy. Good luck! hugs, Chrissy

Hi Kristen! I feel the same way about protein shakes. Ick. The only ones I can stomach are Isopure from GNC. They are more like a crystal lite, and not milky or chalky. I like the fruit punch, orange and grape. They aren't perfect, but more tolerable than the rest. Also, I used Whey protein powder mixed with sugar free hot chocolate. That went down ok. I agree with you - the rest made me gag. Good luck! And keep in touch with how things are going!! Tammy

Hi Kristen, I had the same problem. The protein shakes made me gag. At one of the support meetings, I was talking to a young lady who was 6 months out and I was telling her my problem. She said she had the same problem and she used "SLIM FAST 0 CARB". There is 20 grams of protein per can. And they taste pretty good. They have a variety of flavors. So thats what I use. Just make sure its the 0 CARBS. and not the regular slim fast. There is a big sugar difference. Good Luck, Sarah

I am 5 days out now and having a hard time with the protein shakes also. I liked the one they had in the hospital so I asked them what was in it. It is 4 oz ensure, 4 oz lactaid milk, & scoop of gnc designer whey. I bought the natural flavor protein and I found a butter pecan flavor ensure. Tried it today and it's not too bad!! Where can you buy the 0-carb slim fast shake? My stop & shop didn't have it. Thanks! Vanessa
