Recommended Posts

Protein taste so nasty to me I currently have this fuzzy naval Protein powder I mix with Water and it's so nasty !! So please help me is it anything I can add to it to make it taste a little better ? I also have this Atkins bar but it only has 10 grams of Protein but I don't want to eat those all day I usually have 1 in the AM and that's it.

in the food forum, there are recipes to make Protein drinks better. There are also websites where you can order samples so you don't have to buy a lot of something you don't like.

I'm only a week post op but have been having the premier shakes for quite some time, I found some Peanut Butter powder and have tried adding it to the chocolate shake for the first time just tonight. It adds 6 grams of Protein to the already 30g shake, but gives it a little different taste. So far I like it, but I'll probably only use half of the two tablespoon serving next time. But it did give my taste buds something a little different.

I posted this under another question but worth sharing again. Either with regular if Decaf coffee, I mix 8 ounces of coffee and 1 premier Protein vanilla and 1 scoop of Isopure Protein and a touch of Stevia to sweeten and then pour it over ice. I sip on this for about 3 hours and get almost all my protein for the day. It's so good! I look forward to it every morning.

You can add splashes of sugar-free syrups. The main brand names are Torani and DaVinci. Torani makes a great many flavors. I can't guess which may appeal to your tastebuds. (Fyi, I don't know about DaVinci, but be aware that Torani is liquid, not thick Syrup as we think of them.)

I add Hershey's chocolate unsweetened powder to my vanilla or chocolate shakes, with one Stevia packet. I think there is 10 calories in a teaspoon of the powder. Add Crystal Light powders too, if you like their flavors.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
