Chewable protein supplements?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried any kind of chewable Protein tablet or gummie bear? I just can't stomach the shakes anymore. Despite my best intentions, its been a struggle to make sure I get the protein that I need. Any suggestions?

Why can't you just get your Protein through real food? There are so many good Protein sources out there...

1. eggs

2. String cheese

3: Greek yogurt

4. Nuts

5. Lean deli meats

6. Beans

7. chicken, turkey, fish

My own experience has been that until I started eating real food and got rid of most of the Meal Replacement products, I didn't really learn how to live with the band.

I ended up having Vitamin deficiencies because I wasn't eating food. Our bodies need fruit and vegetables and protein to stay well and be well.

Good luck!

I'm only 6 days post-op and I'm only on day 2 of my three Protein shakes a day and I'm ALREADY sick of the Protein shakes! They actually make me nauseous when I drink them lol! I didn't know they had protein supplements so I'm going to look into that (Thanks for mentioning it). I also agree with the above post.. did your doctor tell you to continue on Protein Shakes even when you're allowed to eat food? You could also buy unflavored Protein powder to add to your meals for that extra boost! I've heard a lot of bandsters use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. You may want to look into that.

Best of luck and congratulations on your success so far!

Try Isopure. Also sometimes I mix my Protein with sf Jello prepared pudding and sometimes I add PB2. Also try experimenting wtih shakes. You can use sf ff instant pudding mixes or sf syrups, pb2 or even yogurt. Protein is very important from now on. Of course by the time you get to mushy and solids you really need to be eating your protein not drinking it.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
