Protein Powders Smell Like Vomit! Help!

[meadowesky 12]

So i thought it was the actual taste of Protein powders that I cant stand and I finally discovered that it isnt. Its that nasty vomit inducing smell!!

I am pre op and have about 2 weeks until my sleeve surgery and I must find a Protein powder that doesnt stink.

The unjury chocolate splendor is actually pretty tasty.. if I plug my nose, and until I take a breath afterwards. OMG gross.

I have tried a few brands at Walmart, most of the Unjury flavors and the smell of all of them makes me sick. How am i going to do this after surgery if I cant stomach these at all??

Our tastes change after surgery, so maybe you'll be lucky and they will taste good to your afterwards. I personally like the Premier Protein bars and shakes that are sold at Sams or costco. There are ways to make most of the Protein Shakes taste better: using splenda/equal, adding SF syrups like Torani and DaVinci, mixing the Protein with other liquids to mask that taste.

You will eventually get used to the protein taste and it won't bother you as badly, but, just like beer and soda, it's an acquired taste.

Protein Powder drinks that I actually crave! No swelling of the whey & mixes instantly! It's called "Nectar" brand & it comes in various flavors...my favorite is the Cappachino - it really is awesome! They have chocolates etc, as well as fruit flavors like Fuzzy Navel and Roadside Lemonade etc. I first bought it at "Bariatric Advantage" online but have since been ordering through Amazon. I tried 5 other brands before finding the nectar brand and gagged at how they thickened and smelled funny...I am hooked on Nectar brand!

I can't help much with changing the smell (unless you use a different type of protien). But you might try using a sealed water bottle with a straw. This way you're not really smelling it.

Meadowesky - I drink my Protein from a "shaker" bottle that mixes it too. it has a small snap open lid for when you want a sip, so I don't really smell anything...maybe it's the lid or just the flavor I chose, but I LOVE this brand, none of theirs have gagged me & I was ready to

give up on Protein drinks when I found it!

BTW- I was sleeved by Dr Nicholson in Dallas on May 24th.

I dont know if its the smell or the taste but i am three months post op and have not been able to find a shake i can tolerate. It took my hair to fall out bad ( what can i say im hard headed) for me to say i better find one i can get down. I am happy to say i found a recipe on the eggface website for Peanut Butter cup shake and it was soooooo good. It didnt taste or smell like a crappy shake at all. It was like a milkshake treat on a hot day. Next on the list to try is strawberry cheesecake shake.

I am still in the pre-surgery observation period, and I have a while until my surgery, so I haven't tried many Protein Drinks. However, I did order samples of several different flavors from Nashua Nutrition. They have the nectar ones and tons of different brands, so this might be a cost-efficient way to find a few that you can stand!
