I can't drink another protein shake



Recommended Posts

I feel your pain!

I posted something similar a few weeks ago and someone just said you need to treat it like medicine! So now I just power through even though they are vile!

Thanks Jenkins. I just went over my food for everyday and I can almost get it all in with my diet. Ugh I have tried every brand and every flavor. Wasted tons of money and I'm just so sick of them all.

I have made Protein mug cakes out of them, but it is still nasty, but it gives a nice alternative to drinking it. I occasionally get dumping syndrome from Protein shakes, so I am thinking to quit them all together. I am only 3 months post op, but if I am really careful, I can usually get 60+grams of Protein through food. A couple of months ago it would have been impossible without the shakes though. I feel your pain.

Have you tried the Syntrax Nectars mixed with Water? They have flavors like Lemonaid, strawberry Kiwi, Fuzzy Navel, etc... and are MUCH different than the Chocolate/Vanilla most Protein drinks come in. They are more like drinking Kool aid.

Thanks everyone. I have tried the syntax and am not a fan. I think I'm gonna try and get it all in with food. Cottage cheese is very high in Protein so that will be one of my go to foods. I also found protein chips at Vitamin store. Not great but barbque flavor is not bad

      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.
