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.

And they are about $25 a case at Costco!

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

Yeah I am still on Clear Liquids. Thanks for the info though, that has helped me greatly!

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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
