Protein Shakes Help



Recommended Posts

Is there any other way to get your Protein in other than shakes? Eve since I starts my liquid diet, I can't drink them. They make me sick in the stomach. Heck the smell of them makes me sick. Before I started the liquid diet and had food in my stomach I was fine with them.

So is there any other way to get your Protein in? I remember someone saying at one of my suppor meetings that they never did shakes because they couldn't handle them. Unfortunately I haven't seen that person since I started this darn liquid diet.< /p>

I'm worried about what's goingq to happen aftere surgery.

How many have you tried? I had to try at least 10 before I found some I could stomach--most are quite vile but I found chocolate Premier Protein ready-to-drink at costco and I can get them down. Chike makes really good-tasting ones, too, and they have a sampler pack so that you can try the flavors. nectar makes fruit-flavored ones that some people like.

I have tried the nectar brand and found a few flavors I liked but since I started th liquid diet, I can't stomach them. This morning I tried unjury in my crystal lite and could not finish it.

I had the worst luck with keeping Protein down. I loved nectar before surgery. After it made me want to vomit. I tried nectar, unjury, premier and about 10 different types. By the time I was about to give up (2 months post op) I decided to try Unjury again, and I was able to finally tolerate it. I think I had to realize how gross they could get to realize how good Unjury was in comparison.

There is hope, just give it time and you will find something that works, or you will find a happy medium with meats, cheese, egg, Beans, yogourt etc.

The Isopure plus in the 16 oz bottles have worked for me. Alpine Punch and Grape are the flavors I chose. Each bottle gives you about 15g of Protein

Can you share the best place to purchase - cheapest price overall?

Thanks

I just ordered some Unjury chicken broth mix. 8 oz has 20 grams of Protein, so I'm going to add it to my Soups when I can eat "normal" food, or even to the cream soups I can have now. I tried it in the hospital when I had NO interest in anything, and I thought it was tasty then, so I figure it would be great now. It'll be a nice change from the drinks when I have a low protein day. See if you can order samples. Just a suggestion.

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
