After my living nightmare of MY experience with gastric bypass and after all my surgeries and complications, I cannot get even close to the Protein I need. My tummy hates the shakes and I can only eat a very small portion. Don't know what to do because I've had enough go wrong already and I can handle any more problems. 7 surgeries and over a month in the hospital and almost dying, I need something to go right. Any suggestions??????

Have you tried a non-whey based Protein? I have a few friends who just could not handle the taste & smell of the whey, they had much better success with soy or pea Protein. ALso, what about the Special K protein mixes for Water? Not a ton of protein, but more than nothing? I've also seen these drinks, I bought one but haven't opened it yet so I can't tell you how it tastes. But it has a lot of protein. http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/pro-nrg-flavored-hydrolyzed-protein-water-dietary-supplement-4-oz-bottle-berry/ID=prod6177392-product

Cytosport makes a Protein Water although, I believe it does contain whey. I got mine from The Vitamin Shoppe, and they have always been really helpful.

I'm so sorry you have had such a rough time, and hope things get better for you soon!

Oh bless your heart! I hope everything starts to look up for you soon! I have been using GENEPRO Protein. Some folks were talking about it here, and stated that is was really odorless and tasteless. I decided to try it because the horrible sweet tastes of all the shakes/protein I had been using was about to make me just stop Protein altogether. That was the best choice I had every made! I sent the info to my NUT and surgeon since it's a fairly new product and both of them approved it. It truly is completely tasteless. I mix it in everything; Decaf coffee, V8, diluted juice, yogurt. It has been a life-saver for me. You can order if from Amazon, which is were I got it or from the company website which is Musclegen Research.

Best of luck to you!

Carol

Oh, and the scoops are very small and the powder is very fine, so it's easy to mix with very small portions.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
