1 week post. whey Protein shakes make me want to vomit. Every time. Can't stand smell.

I'm not getting my Protein in and I've still got a week on full liquid. Has anyone had better success with protein gels? If so which brands? TIA

Google Muscle gel or ISO 20, FrogFuel, etc. there usually whey Protein in a gel that's only about 4 ounces to choke down instead of a big shake. It comes in a little envelope

I am drinking Isopure clear drinks. It is 40g of Protein in 20oz. I drink it all day but at least I am getting my protein in. I am tired of my shakes, they are way to sweet.

I've never heard of the gels but I do like the Isopure drinks... i like the Apple melon one the best. .. the pineapple one an the grape one is cool too but not diging.. the other flavors. .. they are pricy but the fact i only sip on one all day is pretty good.... idk about a gel idk if it's too much protien at once cuz I've heard ur body can only absorbed so much at once... so does not matter how much ur takin it will expelled what it can't take at the time there for wasting $$

I want to try the Isopure drinks. I'm still only 2 weeks post op and my shakes are very blah. Think it's because I haven't eaten "real food" for so long it feels like. But if I don't do shakes I don't get all my Protein in ....maybe the isopure drinks are a good compromise.

I had Pro-Stat while in the hospital. It's gushy and gel-y, kind of the consistency of what's inside a Gusher candy. It was 15 grams of Protein in one ounce. Even the one ounce was hard for me to get down the first few days (we took some home) I think because it was too heavy. Or maybe my body didn't like it. But I was also having really bad acid reflux and gas so I also could have been misinterpreting. I don't know LOL

Here's the website- http://www.pro-stat.com/

I had the citrus blast and grape in the hospital. I liked the grape a hell of a lot better than the citrus. Both can be mixed into lemonade or juice but the flavor over-takes the flavor of the juice/lemonade so there's no point, really. But yeah, that's my experience with it! I don't plan to buy it in the near future but it's definitely interesting!

      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.
