I cannot tolerate the Protein Shakes. Everytime I drink some get so nauseated. I dont know if I am lactose intolerant or what. So, I am not getting much in. I have emailed my dietician, but have not heard back. I had surgery this past Thursday. Has anyone eaten a boiled egg smashed up real good this soon after surgery. I would get more Protein with that by far than I get with the shakes. Any advice would be appreciated......

I had a hard time eating an egg at a month out. It hurt. There are Protein Shots at Walmart. They have 24-27 grams Protein and they are only 3 ounces. The fruit punch was the best to me. Very very very cold, almost freezing made them easier to swallow. Still taste not so great, but it's a lot less to get down the 8-16 ounces of Protein Shake you can't stand. Good luck!

I drink the nectar fuzzy navel with Water when I am feeling like that! If you're in NE Oklahoma I would be happy to share since it mostly has to be ordered. ...I've seen it at GNC before

I was never able to drink Protein shakes. They made me gag and sick to my stomach too. I ended up making my own.

1 cup of milk 1%

3 Tbsp milk powder

to that you can add....

PB2 (powdered peanut butter)

Torani flavored Syrup

Also, you can eat plain nonfat greek yogurt which is full of Protein, add some sugar free torani syrup for flavor or a splenda

You can't eat an egg yet and should not try at this point....in my opinion. Of course, talk to your doc's office.

Hopefully your dietitian will get back to you soon,

In the mean time I would make sure you are most importantly getting liquids in. I would not recommend "eating" just yet, have you tried other Protein Shakes? sometimes its just about finding the right one...

I don't know about the shots that where mentioned above but you want to make sure that it is a quality Protein like "whey"

I had problems with every shake and powder you can buy over the counter, the only powdered shake I can use is by powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury

I love it. In the meantime you might try EggDrop Soup. I was allowed this, from the Chinese Restaurant. I just asked them not to use cornstarch. You can also make it your self, try doing a search for it.

If you order the Unjury, I love the strawberry Sorbet and the unflavored. The unflavored mixes very well in the chicken broth and many other things. I actual make SF chocolate pudding using that and Almond milk. If box calls for 2 cups of milk use 1 cup of almond milk.

Hope this helps.

I too like the injury unflavored. Another Protein Shake I was able to do is Herbal Life. It's a bit expensive but it mixes well with Water. Other people have tried it and couldn't believe it's Protein.< /p>

I had to omit the milk and made the Protein Shakes with Water. My nauseousness continued until last week. The past month I was sick with the flu that turned into pneumonia. So not sure if the last month nauseousness was from being sick or because of my sleeve. Hopefully you will get over this soon. :)

I love how Muscle Milk tastes, and it has NO MILK, according to the label. They sell it everywhere, in a single bottle. Maybe try that?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
