I've never been able to drink Protein Shakes. I wanted to know what else is there to drink besides Protein Drinks during the liquid diet phase?

Unfortunatly you will need to get your Protein in somehow. They have so many new kinds out now. Ensure makes a good one but its kinda pricey. If you have a costco or sams club check there. I know Enusre also has a new clear one out you may want to try.

But I know what your talkig about. I was at the point with Protein Shakes that I told my husband "if I have to drink one more Im gonna shoot myself..lol"

When you say you've never been able to drink Protein Shakes, what do you mean? Do they make you vomit or do you just not like the taste?

Thanks, I will look into the ensure clear drinks. I always vomit or get really nauseous when I taste or smell anything milky. I've always wanted to try slimfast or muscle milk and I could never stomach the smell or taste. Maybe my Doctor has something else I could try.

Is it possible that you are lactose intolerant? There are Protein powders that are made from whey isolate, like Unjury that are for people that are lactose intolerant. I've tried Unjury with soy milk and haven't had any problems. In fact, I actually like the taste and it feels good on my stomach.

well, my dr told me to stay away from slim fast and i also do not like the milky tasting stuff. that being said, Protein shakes are a superb way to get your Protein in. you will just need to buckle down and find a shake that you like to help with this pre and post op phase. (i use whey extreme from Walmart in chocolate) and it is delicious. i even put in freezer to make my own version

of a wendys slush..

find what works for you as you are the one who has to do this.

I use muscle gain by advocare. It can be made with milk or Water. With water it's 25grams of Protein w/milk 38grams. It's a Lil pricey but def worth it since it keeps me full 6-8hours. Check it out at www.advocare.com/12102403 best of luck in your journey and hope this helps :)

Try Isopure. You can find it at Vitamin Shoppe or online. It mixes clear and they have fruit flavors. Think Gatorade, but its Protein and very low carb (I believe zero carb actually). And they are suppose to be very very good.

I use Body Fortress, you can find it at Walmart as well and it's pretty cheap. I'm so sick of drinking Protein Shakes though I could gag. I'm only 3 days away from starting solids and holy smokes can I not wait. I've begun getting creative and stopped drinking my shakes and have started mixing them in my yogurts and hot cereals just so I don't have to drink them anymore! I can't stand the smell of them anymore either! I'm going to by some Protein Powder for days when I need a Protein boost because I need to give the shakes a time out for awhile.

Syntrax Nectar unflavored Protein powder can be mixed with anything. It has no flavor and I used it in my flavored water. That should help those that don't like milk based drinks!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
