Kaelasmommy 3 Posted May 16, 2014 Can someone please share with me how they are fitting the Protein in? I haven't eaten in 3 days and I feel awful. I'm holding in Water but I gag or vomit when I attempt to drink the shakes. The Protein Shakes are all too sweet and cause terrible cramps. Monday I should be starting my purée but I'm terrified that I won't be fitting in the protein my body needs. Monday makes two weeks since I've had the surgery. There was a thread on here where some women were sharing their methods and recipes but I can't find it. Please any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

septappt 74 Posted May 17, 2014 If you are mixing them yourself, maybe try half a scoop of Protein to start. If they are pre made maybe pour half into a glass and add skim milk. I personally like Premier Protein ! Good luck to you and stay hydrated !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mollz007 60 Posted May 17, 2014 I am almost 3 months out and drink at least one shake a day. My doctor said it is pretty typical. I didn't like the shakes either at first but now I look forward to them. I am currently drinking click mocha flavor and health wise Cappuccino. I also like the Syntrax Nectar chocolate mousse, double stuffed cookie, and cappuccino flavor (I am a cofffee person if you cant tell.) Another favorite is Celebrate ENS vanilla cake batter.. that one is cool because it gives you lots of Vitamins too. If you can tell I have a sweet tooth. If you want a shake that isnt as sweet nectar has flavors like Roadside Lemonade and Twisted cherry that are popular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LivingFree! 478 Posted May 17, 2014 Mixing with unsweetened almond milk can cut some of that sweetness. Just be sure you're not diluting the Protein too much that you are not getting in the required mg of Protein that you need daily. Good luck. Keep trying. There's lots of different kinds out there. You'll find something that works for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LivingFree! 478 Posted May 19, 2014 Sorry for the confusion. I was really just repeating what you said. For example, pouring just half of a Premier Protein shake in a glass and diluting it with half unsweetened almond milk. I was just trying to stress that the total liquid consumed didn't end up being like 7 oz of almond milk (or skim milk) and ONLY 1 oz of the quality Protein (like the Premier). <p>Mixing with unsweetened almond milk can cut some of that sweetness.

missbrown30 148 Posted May 19, 2014 Hi - I am 6 weeks post op and was having a difficult time getting my Protein in. I have since found Isopure Protein Drinks which actually look like juice. My personal favorite is the green tea flavor because it doesn't have the after taste like the other flavors. It is much smoother going down. They are expensive though. Best of luck to you.
