Protein frustration

[lehua 2]

Hi Everyone

Iʻm 7 days post op and I think Iʻm doing well. My only problem is the smell and taste of the Protein Shakes make me nauseous so Iʻm not getting in my daily requirements. Iʻve tried EAS Protein and Isopure liquid juice. Has anyone has this problem? Any suggestions?

I drink the Premier Protein chocolate shakes over ice and it tastes like a yoohoo to me. People also in my support group use GENEPRO and put it in various foods and drinks, and they say it's tasteless and odorless!

I'm 5 weeks post. Same thing happened to me. It even happened with Water. Pretty much everything I had to swallow made me nauseous. My surgeon and staff told me it crucial to stay hydrated and because I was becoming dehydrated they recommended I not worry about Protein until I was hydrated. I had to put flavor in my Water.

I had to stop drinking Premier Protein and put journey's unflavored Protein powder in my broth and liquids. I had someone else mix /blend it so I couldn't smell it. Couldn't taste it. Focus on staying hydrated.

I ended up having a kidney stone and Constipation. Sucks when you already aren't feeling well. Good luck.

I'm almost a month postop and still have trouble with Protein shakes. Premier and Isopure both made me throw up. I gave up focusing on Protein and tried to focus on getting hydrated. Which I'm still struggling with by the way. Though I got 50 oz in today so....I'm doing better, somewhat.

Bariatric Choice has a Protein liquid. I like the iced tea and pomegranate flavor. You mix it with Water do you can Water it down as much as you want.
