Hello everybody!

I was sleeved on 9-24-14, about a month ago. I wanted to know what you guys thought about this idea of mine. I HATE the taste and smell of Protein powder. It makes me feel sick and I want to vomit. I saw that many greek yogurts are packed with Protein. So, instead of the whey Protein Powder smoothie, I would use 14 oz of the fage greek yogurt (= 40 grams of protein) and mix it with equal and/or berries, cocoa powder, ect and eat/drink this daily instead. I havent been meeting my goals and I can't drink that disgusting stuff anymore. I will ask my nutritionist about it as well, and will update you guys on what she says. In addition, the protein tablets by humapro may work as well. Has anyone tried either of these? Is there any other protein substitutions out there that have worked for anyone????

just hang in there I could not do any powder or premixed Protein. once you get to solid food you can try some low sugar Protein Bars which taste a lot better and seem to digest better at least for me they did. when you have no more restrictions with your food ie. solid, soft, pureed you may find it is better for you to get your protein from food with no supplements this is where I am now and I am getting close to my goals each day my NUT says that I am doing fine with my protein and everything seems normal so you have a lot of choices good luck :)

      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.
