Protein Suggestions??

Ok so I'm still doing great other than I'm having difficulty getting in enough protein.  Its sad to say but I really do not do well with "bad" tastes...I will gag, heave, and ultimately vomit... I haven't found any protein that tastes "decent"..I've tried the protein bullets..thinking i can do this..only 3 ounces.. not a chance lol... i've tried the advant-ege i think it is..the premade in the cartons..takes my breath with every sip...the only thing i can remotely stand is the slim fast carb control with 20gm protein and 2 carbs...its all i can do to drink one of them (11oz) and two of them still wont meet my protein needs...I know i've got to get it together somehow though..i've got to find a way to get it in...didn't know if any of you guys had any suggestions...thanks.

I drink EAS MYOPLEX Original Chocolate Fudge.  It has 42 grams of protein and 2 sugars.   Some days I drink the whole thing (takes all day) and somedays just 1/2, but between that and my food, I am getting well over my Protein requirements.  I get it at BJ's Warehouse and pay about 25.00 for 12 cartons.  Good Luck.

I have not had the surgery but on my 6 month required program I am using EAS Premium Protein I get at Costco.  Choc flavor.  27g.  This is a powder and I mix it with 2 tablespoons of SF Choc Nesquick to make it more Choc flavor cause I love choc, and 1% milk.  (My NUT says 1% is ok my Surgeon would like me to change to fat free) I will switch once I get approved for the surgery.  I hope this helps.  I have also heard a lot of folks like CLICK which I have not tried.

Good Luck,
Sandy

You're still a "baby" and your tastebuds will change. Trust me. I had a difficult time at first too.

As for the protein bullets? They were my lifesaver! I know straight outta the tube they are shag-nasty. (Don't know why people try them this way!) Ick!!!!!!

I added mine to a bottle of H2O and it's like a glass of Kool Aid. A litttle sweet, I know, but 42 grams of protein? Heck! I'll deal.

Keep trying new things. Everyone is different and you'lll find your "source."
Foods, when you get there, will be horrible too. LOL Unfortunately, for me, that changed too. I kinda miss the days of nausea and gagging. (Crazy right?) It does pass.

Find something that works for you and stick with it. When I can afford to, I will be buying my GNC protein bullets again. It's been at least 3 months since I bought a case and it's probably no coincidence that my weight loss has slowed.

Cottage Cheese saves me. I love it and eat it 2x a day. Great source of protein AND calcium.

Hang in there, kid. You'll be fine.

I got a sample box from GNC and it had I believe 16 different protein drinks.  some were very good some would be just awful.  I rated them and then when I needed a re-fill I went to my list and chose from that.  Didn't  waste alot of money.  Love the Cookies and Creme.  also has 24 grams protein.  Hope this helps

Have you tried the Isopure ready to drink? It comes in 6 or 7 different flavors and is sold at GNC.  A 20 oz bottle has 40 protein and no carbs.

I use GNC ANYWHEY.  It is not favored so I can use it in anything, hot or cold.  My favorite way to get my protien is a cup of hot cocoa (sf) with a scoop of ANYWHEY.  You just have to be very careful to not get your water for the cocoa too hot, if you do it will curdle and be nasty!!!!  Just get it hot enough to drink without cooling down.  It just makes my cocoa taste a bit creamier!

Hope this helps you.

I order my Protein drinks from Bariatric Advantage-the Chocolate is the best-two scoops and they say 8 oz of water--I do 4 oz of water w/ice-27 grams protein-I have one evey morning.  They are pricey-but it taste better than any other ones I have tried at GNC and Walmart.  Hope this helps!!  Continued success!!

when i had my surgery i was told not to drink the slim fast that was my first thought. it has to many things in it that can make you sick....if you did the Rny.
i actually found that i can handle muscle milk 27 grams of protien we have a place here called bodyfitness.com i go buy it from..they have several different flavors...like cake batter one of my fav's or strawberry not bad bananas and creme brownie um latte witch i was told i can't take have to avoid caffine...but you know if you do not have one there you can go online at www.bodyfitness.com and order it's cheaper then the Gnc here for sure....hope that helps!
