Stef 264 Posted May 1, 2013 I am 4 days post op and I cant stomach the Protein shakes anymore. I`ve tried several different flavors and brands and spent over 200.00 bucks trying to find something I can tolerate but havent no luck. I manage thru the 2 weeks Liquid Protein diet prior to surgery but I can not stomach it anymore. The smell of the Protein Powder makes me gag!! I know how important it is to get my Protein in but I feel like its hopeless amd need HELP please!!! I feel for you, really. I tried every powder I could find and they ALL made me gag. There's just something about that whey protein smell that turns my stomach. The only Protein shake that worked for me is Premier Protein pre-mixed shakes. 30g protein, 160 calories, 5g carbs. I wouldn't have been able to have the surgery if it weren't for them. 1 lbrown_1982 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuzanneRoupas 18 Posted May 2, 2013 I hate them as well. What has worked for me is Carnation Instant Breakfast (no sugar), skimmed milk and 1/3 cup of dry milk powder. About 20 grams. The best??? Decaf cold coffee, sweetener of choice, half and half and a big scoop of unflavored whey Protein. Blend it up with ice - no protein taste at all!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kalimomof3 613 Posted May 2, 2013 Anyone try egg white Protein ?I tried the Jay Robb egg white Protein Shake in chocolate but I couldn't get past the weird saltiness it didn't have the uggh of whey but was different still...I am thinking about getting the plain egg white protein that comes in a pump bottle and adding it to Soups or sauces but???

nesa83 89 Posted December 26, 2013 I'm 5 days post and I can't stomach a Protein Shake today I refuse to sip and start gagging. I will have some yogurt and go to the store and buy sf Syrup hope that helps with my Protein. Today everything is closed due to Christmas so I'll just focus on my liquid intake. I hope I'm not causing harm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

macman 603 Posted December 27, 2013 What about Unjury chicken Soup flavored whey Protein. I had 1/2 scoop mixed with warm (140 degree) Water an hour ago. Hit the spot for me! 4 days out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madelyne Bonthron 128 Posted December 28, 2013 Not sure if true but was told to always mix my Protein powders with colds .. Water or milk because mixing in warm foods break down the Proteins before your body can absorb it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macman 603 Posted December 28, 2013 You are right about temperature. Unjury recommends that you keep temps below 140 degrees to not break down the Protein. I have also heated the Unjury chocolate Splendor with skim milk to make a terrific hot chocolate 1 Madelyne Bonthron reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
