hope1106 12 Posted September 5, 2013 I am 10 days post op and I am still having a MAJOR problem with liquids let alone Protein Shakes. I have tried everything. Different brands, different ways, its almost impossible. They're too thick.. soo..what are other ways to get Protein in this early in the game? I recently bought the GNC flavorless whey protein but when I tried putting it in Water with crystal light it was the thickiest, nastiest thing ever!! Maybe I put too much? I don't know what else to dooo!! I know must of my posts have/end with the word help, but seriously, HELP! Since I'm on the full liquids week I feel hungry! So I'm assuming it's because I'm not getting my protein.. any ideas will be hugely appreciated!! Thanks! 1 hubbachubba reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ppasjm 37 Posted September 5, 2013 Try putting your whey Protein in Soup. I would usually put 1/2 scoop in it. If you are able to eat yogurt, put some in that too. Both of those solutions are what helped me get my protein in for the day. I'm 15 days out and still can't drink the Protein Shakes either. I've seen where people are taking their protein shakes and freezing them like a fudgesicle. I haven't tried that one yet. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted September 5, 2013 Have you tried the Isopure clear Protein Drinks diluted with Water, or the Syntrax Nectar flavors mixed with water? They are not thick like other Protein Shakes, more like drinking juice or koolaid. I like the Syntrax nectar flavors a lot. Isopure has great numbers but I find the taste pretty horrible unless I dilute it with a lot of water or G2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richard Foor 655 Posted September 5, 2013 You could try mixing your Protein Powder with more Water so that it is not so thick. Also, you might want to try some of the premix shakes, some people find they taste better. Good Luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmacvgs 23 Posted September 6, 2013 I use the Isopure drinks (40 grams Protein). The punch tastes just like Hi-C, but I dilute it with Water. I also crush up some ice in my ninja and add the isopure to the ice...takes on a slushy texture and the taste isn't as strong. I've had no luck with Protein shakes/powder either. I'm much to finicky.

RebecaSparkles 247 Posted September 28, 2013 Do u have a Vitamin shoppe near you? They have the sample size single serve packets of Syntrax nectar, Jrobb& other Protein shakes. Faster than waiting on a sampler. Also, I got the unjury sampler it was like 20- & came fast & nicely wrapped. allons-y 1 A_ReNUDE_me reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
