Can't drink protein



Recommended Posts

You can dilute it. You can try different brands. You can try different flavors. But, you have to get in your Protein.

When I was still on Clear liquids, I liked the ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates. Early out I used them undiluted over ice. Now I add them to Water and/or Water and crystal light.

I also like Syntrax nectar. In particular Fuzzy Navel.

Try Protein Soups like ProtiDiet Tomato basil or creamy chicken or powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup.

Try Premier Protein.

Try using the Protein Powder and then make as much watery mixture is you need. Maybe this way you can get it to a consistency that works for you. Remember the blender is needed for the Protein powder to give it a good mix.

Dilute it down and add ice. Also check out some of the Protein drinks like Isopure Nocarb or Syntrax nectar.

thank you I need to go check those out

if I put one scoop in 8oz I can drink it but not in 4oz it's too thick

I did the Bariatric Advantage shakes pre-op but for the first two weeks post op those were actually too thick. So I just resorted to Premier Protein vanilla (I could not fathom chocolate at that point). I drank about 4 oz at a time over the course of an hour in my little medicine cup shot glasses. Good luck!

I just bought a box of Premier Protein shakes from BJs and they're not super thick! For 30 grams of Protein in a small shake I was pleasantly surprised and they can certainly be watered down a bit if need be.

How do you guys do with the Protein Shakes it's so thick I'm suppose to drink 4oz three times a day ugh it's giving me trouble to do it :( it's so nasty when it's thick

Congrats on your surgery, so exciting. Mine did get denied as my insurance had filed bankruptcy????

My Dr will submit to my new carrier on 12/1. As another member mentioned try the Syntrax Protein mix's, they mix very well with Water & are lite. My favorite is the fuzzy navel flavor, got it at Vitamin Shoppe. Best of everything to you.

GNC is having a sale. I was there last night. The bottle were buy 3 get one free. I also use the ibotta app (referral code blyssq)and they are offering $5 cashback when you spend $25 at GNC.< /p>

Regardless of what brand you try, always save your receipts. Any unused Protein can be returned with a valid receipt.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
