Protein help!



Recommended Posts

Hi guys. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice for getting my Protein in. Ever since my surgery I haven't been able to stomach any Protein Shakes. I've tried Atkins, Unjury, Premier Protein, Isopure Zero Carb protein waters. I can't handle any of them. I'm in puréed stage. I've tried drinking out of a cup with a lid as my NUT thought it might be a heightened sense of smell making it difficult to get the shakes down. Everything I try is just overwhelming taste and smell of protein. I need to be getting it somehow and I'm at a loss.

I was having a hard time a few days ago and found that putting it over ice helped cause it thinned it out. Hope you find something that works for you.

Try adding the unflavored unjury kind to grits or Soup try the powder kind. I couldn't do any thing but Syntax nectar they sell the individual packs at Vitamin Shoppe see how you like them with the milk you drink I started with the Lactose free fat free milk from Walmart now I use almond milk 30 calories with my Syntax has no after taste or smell.

I agree with @JosieAppleHead. I use the Isopure unflavored powder and add it Soups and beverages. If not, then start seeking out high Protein foods and yogurts instead.

Like @@JosieAppleHead I can only do the Syntax nectar, but the fruit flavored ones. They are mixed with Water (I am lactose intolerant) and I put them over ice so they are super cold.

EAS carb control is the only one I am able to tolerate. It's 11oz for 17g of Protein and thats the main drawback...you have to drink more to get it all in. But they taste a lot better and I can drink them without gagging.

      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.
