I'm 5 weeks out and my Protein Shakes had been making me nauseous. But yesterday and today I tried something new, I left them in the fridge and just sipped on them all day. I had been trying to drink them in one sitting. I'm getting two in with no effort! I hope this is ok????

I am exactly one month out, surgery was September 9th.

I am SO SICK of Protein shakes, but I know I need them. I found a Cappuccino flavor I like. I also have fuzzy navel and chicken powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.

My Dr. was concerned I am not taking in the desired amount of Protein and Fiber I should. I am sticking to Soups, mashed potatoes and gravy. They want me to begin eating but keep the protein and Fiber up.

I did some research online and came up with plenty of options.

I am sick and tired of oatmeal and creme of wheat. So there are cold Cereal options.

I have tried cod filets and I liked them. chicken breast and last night had about 4 oz piece of cube steak and pureed sweet carrots.

Meal planning is becoming a challenge.

Oh what I wouldn't do for a salad!

I do mine in a 20oz tumbler and fill with ice. It stays cold and tasty for hours... I tend to drink my morning iced Syntrax Cappuccino in about an hour though.

Although I haven't tried this, perhaps try diluting the Premier Protein shake with some fairlife fat free milk? That may take some of the sweetness out of it for you..... And give a boost to the Protein numbers to boot. Just a thought but might be worth a try, best of luck with this!

I have a similar problem I've four weeks post op and before surgery, I could drink my shakes no problem at all. Since surgery though, the smell of Protein shakes makes my stomach turn, the taste makes my stomach turn, even the unflavored! Tried the unflavored when I made an omelet and it all came up. It as horrible. I've tried Isopure, Syntrax nectar, unjury, Pure Protein, Muscle Milk. I'm at a loss and so frustrated! Any suggestions?

      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.
