I can't drink any protein! Help



Recommended Posts

Two questions:

1. Have you tried GNC Lean 25 shakes? (I love 'em.)

2. Why can't you drink the other Protein shakes you've tried?

Do you have this same problem with other full liquids like strained cream Soups? What about yogurt?

Believe me when I say I've spent hundreds on Protein shakes. They all made me sick as hell!!! Finally, I found powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury strawberry Sorbet. It's really good, to me, anyway. It still makes my tummy growl, but I don't get sick anymore! I got mine from my surgeons office the first time. They gave my several packets to try. The strawberry won out, hands down. I will order it from Amazon when I run out. You can order a sample pack from Amazon or from the Unjury website. The send 2 packs of each flavor. Try it! Good luck to you!

I can't drink them because they all upset my stomach and then go straight through me. It's awful! I've tried making them with almond milk. I've tried pretty much all the pre made kinds. I thought it was the dairy because yogurt and cream Soups do the same thing. So I tried the almond milk and the Isopure. They all went right through me. I'm not getting hardly any calories and what I do get dumps immediately.

I had the same issue. I'm fine now 2 months out. I can drink the Protein but I can't have any thing sugar free still or I'm on the toilet. I was able to keep the premier on my stomach. You can get premier for 8.99 for 4 servings. It's not too bad. I found them here at Kroger in the pharmacy near the ensure

It sounds like an issue with more than just Protein in if you can't do Soups or yogurt either. Is there anything you CAN eat/drink at this point?

      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.
