stepheff 33 Posted January 20, 2013 I'm in the same situation! The Protein Powder not only makes me gag but also makes my baby sized stomach hurt like none other! I just was started on full liquids yesterday at 7 days post op and really don't tolerate much "food" -cream of wheat, yogurt, etc. Hoping it gets better and if you find a solution please let me know!!

jwhite692 10 Posted January 20, 2013 I like EAS and Atkins chocolate. I put them in freezer until milkshake like... Love em! But I can not drink them straight out of fridge. Either milkshake like or over ice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bex6 10 Posted January 20, 2013 I have the same problem! I hate the gritty texture if not blended, the foamy texture if blended, the thickness of it, the taste of it period! I would rather starve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lander 74 Posted January 20, 2013 I also drink the EAS and Atkins, but I drink them straight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Southern Gal 20 Posted January 20, 2013 I hated them too until I finally made one I like. One scoop chocolate Protein powder, 1/2 frozen banana, 1 cup skim milk, and 1 tsp Peanut Butter. Mix in a blender. Tastes sooooo good. I have to make myself not drink this too fast. Again, only one I like so far! 1 prendaly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaraLaughs 23 Posted January 20, 2013 I don't know, but maybe soy milk would make a difference? I'm so sorry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterthebean 8,146 Posted January 20, 2013 Some people do not tolerate whey Protein very well. You may check with your doc and see if it's okay to try soy protein or hemp protein....there are many others but you want a fast absorbing protein. Whey is just about the fastest but those others are better than no protein at all. Whatever you do, do not start taking the protein shots....they are of no nutritional value. 1 Scorpion11 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fyre_storm 1,412 Posted January 20, 2013 I left the powders behind and just started drinking premier shakes. I love em. 4 Cabingirl, msfitn2014, c-love and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Houston17 115 Posted January 20, 2013 I'm still preop so I don't have personal experience on the subject. However, in the support group this week, they discussed this topic. The suggestion was if using Water, use warm water to mix and then refrigerate overnight to chill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cataro 39 Posted January 20, 2013 I can't stand them either. Muscle milk seems to go down easy for me so I stick with that. Have you tried putting unflavored Protein in puddings or Jello? That was a tolerable way for me to get it in as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FAWife 65 Posted January 20, 2013 Thanks y'all I had gotten Protein Bars because the had 30 grams of Protein but was told not to have them because of the carbs. I want Protein In me but just can't take the chances of vomiting. Ps. I have the same reaction with anything sweet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BethinPA 305 Posted January 20, 2013 I tried and tried, but i just do not like whey Protein. The taste is just so nasty to me. So I switched to soy protein. Not ideal, but at least I like the taste of it. I drink herbalife shakes - I mix the chocolate flavor with milk, and it tastes like chocolate milk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rainbows 35 Posted January 20, 2013 What is getting me through right now is Unjury unflavored Protein and a glass of oj and a banana with like 3 pieces of ice! Blend really well. Also I use a straw to drink it, because I can smell the protein a little if I dont and that turns me off to it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
