breuxo 78 Posted December 21, 2016 i'm 3 months out and i'm struggling to hit my Protein goal of 60g a day, i'm worried i am going to become so ill. i hit most days i would say 30-40g. go ahead and judge away but it is very hard for me. the shakes i'm so sensitive to the smell i cannot even get them up to my mouth to take a drink, i just need some advice or something. i'm terrified to get sick even the premier shakes i can't handle, unflavored nope.

catwoman7 11,220 Posted December 21, 2016 get some samples of Syntrax nectar Protein or powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein. I'm really hate the taste of whey protein (I can taste it in Premier shakes), but I can't smell or taste it in either Syntrax or Unjury products. Unjury products you have to buy directly from them via their Web site. Syntrax Nectar products are available in a lot of places - through them directly, through Amazon.com, here at the Bariatric Pal Store, through Vitamin Shoppe (online and in their stores), etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Autumn Fury 67 Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Get some unflavored Protein powder - I have GENEPRO & unjury chicken. I add the chicken flavors to chicken broth or Soups. The GENEPRO mixes in other Soups (be careful of the temperature), yogurts, cottage cheese, puddings, coffee, teas too. Try adding the Premier Protein (4 ounces) into some coffee and Fairlife Protein milk is also good. I'm almost 3 Months out and these have helped me meet my protein goals. smoothie king also has a gladiator protein that I enjoy on occassion. I have tried the nectar protein but don't care for them very much.

Nicetomeetyou 82 41 Posted December 21, 2016 I would try to find some unflavored Protein and add to all foods. Also try protein o2 Water. It is flavored water with protein in it. That can help add protein to your daily total. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breuxo 78 Posted December 24, 2016 i have tried the Water i hate it, i can't stand unflavored i'm so sensitive to the smell. i am forcing myself to drink at least 250ml of a Protein shake a day. so at least that's helping but not enjoying any of it at all. makes me want to be sick thinking about it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thinn2010 11 Posted December 24, 2016 I am having the bypass will I be hungry or crave sweets after surgery? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted December 25, 2016 I am having the bypass will I be hungry or crave sweets after surgery? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I had no hunger for about the first five months after surgery - then it came back. I was hoping I'd be one of those few lucky ones whose hunger never comes back, but unfortunately, I was not :-( That happens to most people - it does come back for most of us sometime within the first year or so. Hard to say if you'll crave sweets or not. Some people do, some don't. I really don't think about them much, but then, I was never a huge "sweet person" even before surgery...

catlady.2012 22 Posted December 25, 2016 Having no appetite still at 4 years presents nutritional difficulties. Wish there was a happy compromise. Having to almost force feed is certainly no fun.
