Help! I can't tolerate this stuff!



Recommended Posts

I couldn't get past it either. I ended up finally finding Any whey ([ame=http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Instantized-Protein-2-7-Pound/dp/B000GIUQOG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1271715736&sr=8-1]Amazon.com: 100% Any Whey Protein: Health & Personal Care[/ame]) and Unjury chicken Soup (unjury.com) ... I put 1/2 Scoop of Any Whey into my yogurt to boost it up 9g of Protein and use the Unjury (mix with 4 oz of warm, not boiling water). Unjury will send you sample packets so at least you aren't stuck with a tub of something you can't stand.

Never tried the other Proteins since my surgeon was strict about only using Whey protein.

Best of luck - it's no fun gagging stuff down. Hopefully others will chime in on their discoveries.

I couldn't tolerate any of them either. Either the taste, smell or texture robbed me of using them, or they made me puke my guts up.

I was able to get my Protein from greek yogurt, cheese, egg whites, and super mushy chicken/tuna/egg salad. It took time to build up to getting the necessary amounts, but I didn't think it was worth to puke and hurt myself to get extra protein from the mixes.

A lot of people enjoy the Jay Robb brand, and the Muscle Milk Light pre-mixed cartons were 'okay ' for me for a little bit.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
