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!!

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. :(

I also drink the EAS and Atkins, but I drink them straight.

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.

I left the powders behind and just started drinking premier shakes. I love em.

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.

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.

Muscle milk and Muscle milk light is the only one i can handle.

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

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.

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!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
