Protein drinks gagging me



Recommended Posts

I am 2 weeks out and I cannot handle the Protein Drinks. I am drinking Premier shakes from costco. I tried the ISO PURE grape and Six Star Muscle from Wal Mart. Just the smell of any of one makes me gag. They don't make me sick or anything but just to get them down is horrible. Any ideas?

I'm having the same issues. I'm brainstorming and trying to get creative, as well as, continue to try different Proteins. Eventually, I'll find what works for me and you will too.

I use the Wheybolic AMP from GNC and I personally don't think it's too bad! Also look in the recipies area because Tiff posted a HUGE listing of Protein Drinks to make and OMG some of them sound SO GOOD!! DH and I are going to print them out on cards to take with us when we travel for Christmas! hehe

I like the nectar chocolate trufffle.

Go to the thread where it says places to order samples. Get a bunch of samples and find out which one you like

instead of buying a big jug of something you may not like.

I use the Carnation sugar free Instant Milk with 1/3 cup of Dry milk mix with the skim milk. This gives me 21 grams of Protein. I have just recently bought the Torina sugar free syrups and added Raspberry flavored, Caramel and for the holiday gingerbread-all of these are also sugar free to change up the flavor from plain chocolate and vanilla.

Unjury unflavored Protein powder...you can mix with pretty much anything. I got a free sample and I dig it cuz there is no vanilla or chocolate taste. I'm going through the same stuff. I tried the Isopure and grape was alright but the blue raspberry was the best. Just waiting for my unjury to come in the mail....

I don't have much issue getting them down. I just hate the aftertaste. So I make sure I pack a sugar free popsicle to have after :)

I tried the unflavored kind. And, I think it does add some taste to stuff. And, the smell is AWFUL!

I have tried about 4 different kinds...I like nectar Twisted cherry OK. but I couldn't drink it three times a day. Went and talked to GNC employee. They gave me several to try and I personally like the one I bought. It is called Gold Standard 100% whey. I bought the extreme milk chocolate but they had several flavors like, vanilla, Cookies and cream, strawberry, and banana cream. I was also told that if you dont like what you buy from GNC you get to return it. That was worth trying for me because I've spent like 75 dollars trying others that I can not drink now.

      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.
