I Am STILL unable to have protein drinks...

I get VERY nauseated and ill feeling when I have protein drinks. They are just much too sweet for me. I can stomach the slim fast, but they are high in sugar, I dont want to get my body where I can drink them or like the sweet chocolate taste. When I talked to my Dr.s office they said try to get in between 80-90grams of protein and I know I am not doing that and probably havent hit that much once... I do get in probably more then 1/2 ( if I am lucky ) I eat alot of shrimp and fish... But, I am feeling okay for now. Also, I was thinking the more protein I get in the better weightloss I will have... I have tried protein bars and havent found any that I like... If anyone has any suggestions, please leave it here. Thanks!!

Lori, Is it the milk that's making you nauseated or the protein powder?  Can you drink a plain glass of milk?  If not try Soy, or Dairy Ease (Lactaid).  Did you get some unflavored protein?  maybe add that to some of your foods.  Our NUT said that if we couldn't do Whey protein, that we would have to try some other kind, soy or something.  The shrimp & fish are great!  I don't like that stuff & she said that fishsticks didn't count.  That's not fair, but I guess it's really not real fish. LOL   Can you drink the Nectar drinks?  OH, there is beneprotein.  I don't know where you can get it, or anything about it for that matter, but have heard of people getting that.

Just do the best you can & take care of yourself!!!    (((HUGS))) Angy

 Have you tried the nectar protein? It is not all that bad. I an't do the othes either but i can at least do the nectar. here's a place where i found it that is the cheapest i've found so far,http://www.prosource.net

Lori:

Try the milk Calorie Countdown. Hy-Vee carries it. It is the only milk that is low on sugar. I had a hard time with the shakes making me sic****il I figured out between the 11 grams of sugar in my milk and the sugar in the protein powder, it was making me dump. The Calorie Countdown only has 3 grams of milk in a cup and I use about 1/2 cup in my shakes. I bet it's the sugar.

I do the beneprotien---it's pretty much tasteless.  I can't stomach any other protien---tastes like bootay to me.  I get my beneprotien at walgreens--it's behind the pharmacy counter so you have to ask for it in the pharmacy.  It's about 15 bucks a can and the can lasts me a  little over a week.  I can drink it with a glass of milk--I drink 4-5 glasses a day and that is my whole protien intake plus any protien I get from my meals--I just count that as protien bonus.  Hope this helps.

I just ordered a couple things from NashuaNutrition.com and love them.  The hot chocolate has 15 grams of protein, mixes easily and tastes great.  Also got the protein liquid with 15 grams of protein.  Add to water.  I got the tropical punch flavor and it has a strong cherry flavor that I don't really like but I add Crystal Lite and it tastes good.

The Power Crunch bars at GNC are good.  The only flavor I like of Pure Protein at Walmart is the chewy chocolate chip. 

It's taken me awhile to find what I really like.  So many protein foods are difficult for me so I make sure I get my 60 grams from other items.

Good luck!

I use the 42 gram vials..that is the only way I can take protein, I just turn it up and drank it down, it tastes terrible but when I mix it with something its still awful and takes longer to get down, itd expensive but I rather do without something else so I can have it.....vesta
