Which is so not awesome! Leave it to me to be allergic to (and have a crazy allergic reaction to) the one thing a Barriatric patient needs for getting in Protein ... 1 cbarrios126 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TvlGrl712 113 Posted September 9, 2013 I am 10 days post op and I can't get my Protein in at all.....I'm still on clears so I have to do the shakes and I've tried 5 different kinds/flavors with different ways and they make me sooooo sick.. Have you tried the Isopure clear? It's like Gatorade but not quite as yummy. 40g of Protein per bottle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm in the same boat. I had my wls on 8/27 and haven't gotten any Protein Drinks down. They are all so gross, even the flavorless ones. I've been living on sf popsicles. Don't know what to do...

TvlGrl712 113 Posted September 9, 2013 Where do the sale it? You can get the Isopure clear at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe. They have many different flavors. I like the apple melon the best. Another thing I just tried are called: New whey liquid Protein. They are sold at Walmart in the fitness/diet area (near the pharmacy). They are in oversized white test tube looking things - 42 grams of Protein - its only 3.8 oz, but its kinda thick, so I dilute it in a bottle of Water. Again, more like a weird Gatorade type drink. I just couldn't drink anymore choc shakes and these 2 things have really helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NMJG 1,266 Posted September 9, 2013 I was sleeved August 12. Sooo sick of Protein shakes, like everyone else. I am getting the Protein in every day, though. Being able to eat food really helps so I only have to choke down one Protein Drink a day. Just tried Isopure grape and I think I can get this down. As others have said, like a weird Gatorade BUT it's not a gross imitation of a chocolate milkshake LOL. Tried sashimi for dinner and it was great! Could only get down about 2 oz., but having real food is so nice now, even if it is a tiny amount. My son says I eat like an ant. Teehee. I eat mostly cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, Beans, cheese, and a cup of nonfat milk every couple of days. Gonna try hemp seed protein next. Not doing so well with exercise but hopefully now that I'm feeling better I can get that going. HW 235 Preop 211 SW 206 CW 191 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
