Tell Me This Will Pass????

Hi Everyone...... I have a problem that I could use some help with. It seems that my taste have changed and I cannot stand the taste of the protein shakes. I have tried different recipes and different consistency's and still......the taste just makes me extremely nauseated. There has to be something else I can do. I am not supposed to eat enough food to make up 60 grams of protein but I just can't stomach these shakes. I am hoping this is something that will pass, but until it does, do you have any suggestions? Today was six weeks exactly since my surgery. I appreciate any advice. Thanks everyone...... Jancy

Janice,         Do you like the Starbucks Frappuccino?  If you do, you may like our "Bariatric Crack", the AchievOne drinks.  They come in a variety of flavors and you can also try your shakes with the SF Davinci Syrups in different flavors or the Cinnamon Bliss, this has a carmel taste to it and adds flavor to things!!  Connie at the "It's All Sugar Free" Store here in Nashville carries these things locally,(615) 399-5154,  I am not sure how far away you are, but I know she has just gotten a shipment of all of this last week, she will also ship to you if you live to far away.  There is also the New Whey 43 gram bullets that could help with your protein intake, you can drink half at a time, because we do not abosrb more than 30 grams at one time.  These are just a little over three ounces, therefore if you do not like the taste, you can take a few sips and then drink something you like!! Hope these suggestions help!! Shelia Oh!!  By the way the Cookies and Cream Matrix 5.0 is very good as well!!!

I do like the Starbucks Frappuccino I think....Are they like the drinks you can buy in markets? I had one once and I recall liking that. I will call Connie tomorrow. I live in Dickson but I work in Nashville. I knew there was a solution without making myself drink these things that I can't tolerate. I have been doing so well but I know I have to get this protein in. I can tell that I get very tired and weak without it. Now where do I get this cookies and cream thing.....Where can I purchase the gram bullets.... thank you so much for the response.....I am not freaking out or anything, but I am concerned.... I am very determined to be successful at this.....just like we all are.....

Yes,  the AchievOne drinks are like the ones that are in the bottles in the markets, but they have 20 grams of protien, 110 calories, 0 fat and only 5 carbs!!!  Connie has all of the things I mentioned and she is getting more and more in each week, she is really working hard to get our protein things that we like in locally, so we have it quicker than ordering on line!!!  Tell her I spoke to you tonight when you speak to her!!! You will eventually find out what works best!!   Shelia

Where is Connie located....I am so excited now.... thanks Shelia.....I wish I could meet you and everyone Saturday at the luncheon....I will for sure be at the next one....

If you take I-24 East toward Chattanooga and get off at the Bell Road exit, turn left toward Hickory Hollow.  You will drive about 5 or 6 miles until you get to Murfreesboro Pike, there will be a Pizza Hunt on the right and a Krystal on the right, you will turn right on to Murfreesboro Pike at the light, then get in the right lane, because after you pass throught the next light (Wendy's) on the right, you will see a building with a few shops on the right, turn in there and her store is on the far left of that building, she has a bright yellow sign.  If you tell her I sent you, she will save what you want until you get there to pick it up.  She does have Micellar Milk as well, this is not bad either, I forgot about this earlier!!! Hope this does not get you lost!! Shelia

Correction, you will turn left onto Murfreesboro Pike, not a right!!

I agree the protein drinks are nasty I can not get use to them either.  The only protein drink I have been able to get down is the carnation instant no sugar added chocolate..... I have tried the isopure YUCK now I have not tried the achieve,  My sister lives in TNridge when I see her I would love to meet you all too.   Annrenee

Hi Janice,  There are too many options out there for you to be choking down protein.  Have you gone to bariatriceating.com?  They have a protein sample packet you could try.  I agree with Sheila, I LOVE the Matrix 5.0 Cookies and Cream powder. The AchieveOne's are good. I'm about to commit blasphemy and say they are good, but not great (IMHO)!!  I know I'll take flack for that!       They are good, but I like the Matrix better.  I make it with 1% milk.  The New Whey bullets are disgustingly sweet, but you only drink half of one at a time -that's only 1.5 oz. So it's manageable.  I also drink the Atkins Advantage chocolate shakes, don't know if you've tried those, but I think they're tolerable.  Hope you find something that works for you!  Good Luck!

You dissin' our crack??   Not everyone is going to like the same things. Isn't it great that we have such a variety to choose from? I know I heard everyone rave about the Nectar...I hated it . Now, I can drink the Nectar Caribbean Cooler but it's far from my favorite. I keep it on hand because I can mix it on the go without a blender or spoon. I just add it to a partial bottle of water and shake it up for protein on the go.
