Liquid protein -YUKKKKK!



Recommended Posts

Hello all! I was sleeved on 10-9-13. Overall, I have been doing pretty good (knock on wood). nausea is very little, gas pains are nearly gone, and tolerating the liquids well, however; The Liquid Protein "shots" (whey protein) make me nearly puke! I just can't do another one. I am really worried about my Protein I take. I have tried to dilute it, mix it in my tea's, broth, flavored water etc and it just make me wanna puke. Any suggestions of a "tolerable" liq protein?

Hang in there. I like the Premier Protein ready to drink shakes. They aren't thick and chalky or gritty. I even drink them post op to make sure I get my Protein in.

The liquid Protein shots got me the closest I have come to throwing up since I had my surgery. A large box (minus one) sits in my pantry. They taunt me in there. Still causes me to shudder. I really like the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored Protein powder. It mixes well into Soups, chili, puddings. I have even been known to mix it with a half cup of Carb Smart ice cream. Just let the ice cream melt just a bit and stir it all together. Turns a treat into a Protein packed snack with low carbs. By the way, the Breyers low carb ice cream tastes very, very, good! I was blown away! Sometimes I use it as a base for a smoothie, thow in a handful of frozen banana slices, strawberries, no sugar added cherries, MMMM going to make some of those tomorrow!!!

There are A LOT of Protein options. Google and check them out. Most allow you to buy sample packs. I use (and like) Unjury.< /p>

Are you on clears or full liquids? For clear Proteins, I would recommend Syntrax Nectar flavors. You can get sample packets, just google Syntrax nectar sample pack. For full Protein, I like the Syntrax Matrix and Unjury brands. If you absolutely have to have ready to drink instead of Protein Powder, the Premier Protein chocolate shakes are good. I know a lot of people really love the EAS Carb Control shakes as well, but I haven't tried them myself.

I found Unjury vanilla to be amazing. i am still having a cup a day 3 months out because it is my favorite protien source and I cannot eat much in the morning. i got a sample from my doctor and perhaps yours has some too. you can add flavorings to it. there are calorie free chocolate syrups out there.

good luck

I use EAS AdvantEDGE carb control ready to drink. I love the chocolate fudge. Its the consistency of chocolate milk and goes down pretty easy. It only has 17gm of Protein per shake though. I'm eating regular food now so I only do 2 to 3 shakes a day depending on how I eat. 24 shakes is 28.00 at Sams.

      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.
