I found a yogurt I love. It's yoplait Greek fat free. It has 13g of protein' date=' only 7g of sugar(my NUT said stay under14g sugar)

It's really good and helps me get in my Protein without so much of the yucky shakes and I can have it now while I'm still on soft mushies.

I still have a ways to go but making progress a little at a time.[/quote']

Love them too. Key lime was a bit too tart for me and I love the vanilla.

I absolutely can't find a Protein I like or that doesn't make me yucky from the awful taste....

I've tried...

Isopure-mango peach' date=' alpine punch, grape frost by theirselves or mixed with Water

Premier Protein

Pure Protein

Ensure high protein

Atkins

whey protein from Walmart

Body fortress

Lean shakes

Wheybolic60

Muscle milk

Nitrotech

A couple others from Walmart

What am I going to do? I'm still on soft foods due to a complication so at this point I have to use supplements. I keep thinking what am I going to do? I'm so struggling.

Oh and before surgery I was tolerating these fine. It's just been since surgery I'm so turned off.[/quote']

Put a scoop of protein in ur yougurt and cottage cheese. I have tried these drinks premade called O Yeah. They taste like milk shakes. I can't stand the Isopure Mango Peach. The alpine punch is tolerable to me. Im just tired of Protein Shakes point blank period!!

I'm in the same boat' date=' have not found a single supplement I can stand yet. I think I might get some of the unflavored and add it to my regular foods. Has anyone else done that? Does it change the taste/texture at all?

Also I'm going to ask my nutritionist about Tropical smoothie when I see her. I went through their nutritional menu and found 3 that I may be able to do with Splenda. They can add Protein shots to them.

Yes I put some unflavored unjury in my cream of chicken Soup and it was gross and thick like oatmeal.

You have to watch temp when using Unjury or it will lump up I've microwave 1/2 cup Soup only 1 minute any longer it clumped also added unflavored Unjury to yogurt and couldn't taste it just made it a little thicker

Heating Protein over 140 degrees will ruin the Protein. Cook your soup, make sure it cools below 140, then add you protein :-)

The handout I have from my program says "vanilla Protein Powder mixed with Tropicana sugar free Orangeade is a popular combination.". Am planning on trying it. They have other tips I am going to try, chocolate with raspberry drink mix, vanilla with fruit punch, i guess there are a lot of combos we could try.

I think we all went through this. I can't stand the Protein drinks post op so I just ate for protein foods throughout the day and took all my supplements and drank my water/decaf tea I did ok I am 5 weeks out i lost 26 pounds so far and I think I hit that stall people have spoken about. Some people say they mix there protein powders into food items have you tried that?

I am taste driven person I lost my sense of smell and taste about two years ago so its tough for me.

ps Protein Bars are also a good source and they get mushy in your mouth. Power Crunch bars low in sugar. Pure Protein Bars are low in sugar.

I have used vanilla or chocolate Protein shake mix in oatmeal or cream of wheat. It was ok. Of course I didn't use an entire scoop, just about 1/4 or add by your taste what you can handle. Just remember, protein is destroyed over 140 degrees so make sure your food is under that temp.

Thanks everyone for your ideas. I am starting to think I have become lactose intolerant. Even before surgery I always got a tummy ache after I had milk or ice cream or something like that but I love milk and ice cream so I just dealt with it. I guess it wasn't that bad. However now it is much worse. For example yesterday I had one Protein Shake and I had stomach cramps for about two hours and I just felt ill. It finally went away and I felt much better.

Try soy or almond milk or lactose free milk. My taste buds have changed drastically. It is all trial and error until you find what works for you. Journal everything you eat..it will make it easier to track intolerance.

      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.
