Protein help!

[sleevie2014 4]

My surgery is scheduled for May 7. I have tried every Protein Shake and powder I can find. Can't stomach any of them. I am such a picky person! I could not even stomach the pre-op Meal Replacements so the nut had to create a special liver shrinking diet for me. I am terrified I won't be able to get my Protein in after surgery!! Any suggestions?

Have you tried Premier Protein? I love those, they remind me of how pudding tastes. Good luck! I've heard our tastes change after surgery so hopefully you will start liking them more.

have you tried Arbonne protien shake powder? It's not bad if its really cold. I haven't had the surgery yet but have been dieting using the powder. it's got 15 grams of Protein.

I really like the vanilla creme from GNC. I mix mine with a little Decaf instant coffee. It is good and has 24g Protein in one scoop.

I know how you fell. Years ago I had my mouth wired shut for 6 weeks and had to rely on Protein Powder. It was horrible. All brands are sweet. Not sure how I will make it after surgery. One day at a time and try not to think about how awful they are.

I had to dilute every Protein I found. I couldnt stand any of the RTD shakes..too sweet and thick unless I diluted them at least 1/2 and 1/2 with Water or skim milk. For powders if it said to mix with 8 oz I would mix with at least 16oz. I really liked the Premier Protein chocolate but only if I added 16oz skim milk to the 11oz serving. That made it taste like chocolate milk instead of a gross, over sweet, thick Protein shake.

Have you tried Isopure or Syntrax nectar powders? Totally different tastes and texture than "regular" Protein Shakes. Personally, I thought the Isopures were gross, but I still drink Syntrax Nectar (apple and cherry are my favs)

The other option is to add unflavored Protein Powder to broths and Soups and yogurt and anything else you can tolerate in order to get your Protein intake up.

Try the protein in some of your favorite juices.

I couldn't do Protein either just seen my Dr Friday he told me to try Isopure from GNC it's a lil expensive $5 a bottle but it's way better it's like juice.

I am right there with you! I am sooo picky. The only one I have found that I like is Muscle Milk. But, it has to be blended with Water and ice and I use about 1 1/2 times the liquid they say. It is decent like this. But if I add some sugar free chunky Peanut Butter, its awesome!

I've got a fridge full of Isopure. Still have not found a flavor that I can stomach. I do enjoy PB3 in chocolate or vanilla shakes. Blended with ice, so smooth and COLD. I have been using some Medifast products as well. I need a variety!!!!

What about Carnation? And add a tbsp of Protein powder? W 2% milk. I use Unjury pretty much taste less. It tastes like a chocolate shake! Yummy!

[beuchems 2]

I keep forgetting about PB3! Where do you buy it at? A couple people have told me about it.

If it's the sweet flavor that you don't like then you should try the Unjury chicken Soup. It's such a nice change from all the sweetness from the others. I really like it and it's a great way to get the Protein in, they also have an unflovored protein powder from Unjury and you can add it to anything... Good luck!!!

I love the EAS vanilla brand from BJ's Wholesale Club. It comes in a 5-LB bag for $27.00. I too am having surgery on May 7th. Good luck to you.
