That's it....I GIVE UP!!!

I GIVE UP on this @&@*#! clear protein!!! I just refuse to punish myself and my pocketbook anymore on these nasty things I have a weak stomach but I kept trying different things. I even went to Nutrition Solutions today to purchase ProStat determined that I could tolerate an ounce 4 times a day....NOPE!!!! As soon as it hit my stomach.... This is the first time that I have thrown up since surgery and it wasn't pretty. It pissed my pouch off pretty bad and trust me...it decided to let me know. I laid in the bed for like 45 minutes in pain and my heart was pounding. Finally it decided to chill out. To make matters worse is I just spent $30.00 on that bottle. I hope that when I get on Full liquids next week it will be better. Does anyone have any protein shakes that taste good and have no aftertaste!!!!???? I am getting very depressed about this. I am trying to be compliant but it is soo hard Well, that is all the time I have for this rant...only 2 more days until full liquids.... Rachel

Rachel, So sorry about the yuckyness. The only protein powder I found that is good is Hank's finest it tastes like nesle's quick but you can only get it on line it's a bit pricey but good. You can order free samples at bottom of link. It is the only one I drink and is good the vanilla is Ok but I prefer the Chocolate. http://www.healthfitnesschannel.com/index22.html Hugs Marcey

I still can't drink protein drinks.. I gave up after 2 months of good luck hon to finding something you can handle Stephie

I am sooo sorry Rachel!! Protein Delite is the best tasting protein shakes out there, and you can mix it with water or milk....I would probably start with water because milk can upset your tummy. DO NOT USE REAL MILK, use Hood's Carb Countdown, the green one...its fat free. I got sick today too, but I ate a little too much, chicken salad!!! BLEH I dumped, and passed out. I never threw up after surgery, but we were on full liquids (pureed) foods, which did not hurt us at all, but it was like runny applesauce consistency. When you get on full liquids, try bland things like grits, that is what they gave us in the hospital....but mixed it with protein powder and warm water and some fat free cheese to make it taste good. Also, pepper is no good for pouches, so rule that out. I love drinking the profect drinks now, they are by Protica, and are 25gms of protein and only 2.8oz of fluid!!! Pour over ice, it is better that way. Go ahead now and mix some Propel with ice, and blend and eat that....it ALWAYS made my pouch feel better when it hurt, or was upset....it sort of "freezes" the pain away and makes it feel so much better when it goes down Hope you feel better girlfriend, hang in there....it will be okay, real soon!! Take a long hot bath and feel better soon!! PS...STAY AWAY From scrambled eggs....have no idea why, but most people feel sick on them, but poached or boiled eggs don't hurt???? Love ya girl, be careful and I am praying you feel better soon!!! Deb

PS I have a whole jug of Hank's Finest in my cupboard, but I dump on it no matter what I mix it with. YES it is the tastiest, but Lady D. told me that Dame Tooter had written to Hank and asked about who certified the ingredients so they could promote it on OH, and he wrote her back a nasty, terrible email and basically told her off!!!! So, we have all decided to boycott Hank's, plus I did not realize that the ingredients were not certified, or would he release which lab he uses...so as far as we know, it could be in his kitchen sink!!!! They recommended, Dame Tooter and others, that we not use his product since we have no idea where it is made, where it is processed and he won't release that info??? WHATS UP WITH THAT??? Stick with SciTech Protein Delite, I believe they now sell it at the Vitamin Shoppe, and it is the best tasting stuff out there!!! http://www.nutritiongeeks.com/protein-delite-scitec-1-vanilla-very-berry/protein-delite-sc itec.html Here is a link for the cheapest Any Whey....add this to your grits, oatmeal, cream of wheat...and make it very runny http://www.wholesalesupplementstore.com/anywhey-protein.html?ipsrc=media&reftype=pp&sptype =gg Protica http://www.protica.com/store/ Deb

PPS Sorry, but here is a link so you can know which yogurt drink is the lowest sugar. It is awesome!!! Take a sip, add 1/2 scoop of Any Whey to it, and you have a full liquid, low sugar, yummy, yummy drink!!! This is my breakfast EVERYDAY!!! You have to hunt for it, Publix used to carry it, Bi Lo did not. Ask you grocery store to order it or hunt for it, its soooo worth it and one of those no brainer things you can drink and make without thinking!! http://www.dannon.com/dn/dnstore/cgi-bin/ProdSubEV_Cat_240859_SubCat_486934_NavRoot_200.ht m I am going to post this on the main board too. Oh, Super Walmart used to carry it in Charleston. Hope all this helps you!! Deb
