I am 4 days post op and I have tried several different Protein Shakes and flavor all of them a very disgusting. Everyone I drink makes me sick and throw them up which hurts really bad. A friend of mines suggested that I cook some red Beans and eat the juice off the red beans for Protein. I have no issue with the juice from the red beans they gone done very easily and have it about 4 to 5 times a day. Is this a great idea. Because I can not do the protein shakes I even tried a product called Idea protein which provides Soups, mash potatoes with protein and much more. But i bean doing the red beans juice for the past two days is this a good source to get my protein??? Please Help!!!!!!

Isopure or nectar. chicken stock Unjury. Is it absolute intolerance or just doesn't taste good? Unjury cheese sauce saved my life, 21 G Protein per serving. Tastes like tuna helper sauce so super fake.

Many, MANY folks have found Premier Protein shakes work for them. I, like you, tried several different ready-to-drink shakes and powders. Premier is by far the best one for me. You can get them at costco or Sam's Club.

Do a search on this site for Premier Protein. There are many threads discussing it.

Call your nutritionist. She can tell you if you are actually getting any Protein from the bean juice. She can also give you other ideas. Maybe you will be allowed to make a Greek yogurt smoothie diluted with fat free milk. Personally the nectar chocolate truffle saved me. I mixed with only 6 oz milk and one scoop. That is 30g protein. I had two per day and got my liquids in. That is all I could tolerate.

I didn't start any Protein Shakes until Week 2. Maybe your stomach is just still too raw from surgery to handle it. All I drank was bullion, Water, Fuze, etc for Week 1. Ate sugar free popsicles. But, I agree with everyone else, call your nutritionist or surgeon to find suggestions.

I am 10 weeks out- and I will tell you- I have thrown up every Protein Shake out there. I was told by my nut to do milk mixed with powdered milk for double Protein and greek yogurt diluted for protein. I am now getting 90% of my daily goal of protein through food- and my doctor and I are happy. I even had a post-op class where they had some people who owned a nutrition store in there and they jokingly "guaranteed" they could find me a protein shake i could handle... Yeah- I threw it up right in front of them. Awesome. GOOD LUCK!!!

I do BiPro-- It is unflavored Protein Powder-- I mix milk, chocolate carnation, and the powder! I dislike the shakes as well. Not my thing at all! Good luck!

At 4 days out I don't get why docs are having patients on Protein shakes. Most people I follow are on Clear Liquids - juice, Water, Isopure -- and maybe some chicken Soup from unjury.

I would personally table the shakes till next week. So much stress and you won't get in all your Protein every day from the gate. It's something you work up to.

I don't know how much protein the juice from red Beans have...would be better if you watered down the Beans and then liquified them. The protein is in the bean. The runoff would be starch, I would think?

Focus on liquids, get some chicken Soup flavored Unjury or chicken broth, or the broth from chicken noodle soup. Much better for your new tummy. Be gentle, you're still heaing.

I was on Protein Drinks as soon as I came home from the hospital too. At week on everyone of them made me sick. I mean SICK!

I called my dr. They said to lay off of them and try non dairy shakes. I gave my self a week then went to Unjury mixed with Water and was fine.

Now I mix it with skim milk and warm them. If I drink cold Protein I get sick again. However if its warmer than room temp. I can drink it!

My body accepts warm much better than cold!

        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
