HELP! Hating all protein shakes



Recommended Posts

I got to a point where I could not stomach shakes anymore. I think it was a combination of the sickening flavor and the thickness. I ended up switching to Atkins Lean Protein Water, it comes in 3 flavors and isn't bad. Gives 20 grams per bottle. I'm now 16 weeks out and my NUT wants me off of supplements if possible so I have been drinking Fairlife milk. I try and drink 16 ounces a day.

Unjury unflavored Protein powder! I add it to everything rather than doing shakes. Iced tea, sugar free pudding, crystal lite, milk, you name it!

Thank you all! I haven't done any meat yet. I'm not really sure how to do cook it that is is not dry and the thought of puréed meat turns my stomach. How are you preparing it?

pureed meat is so gross .. so I ate eggs .. lots of eggs. the first month is horrible but I remember it breaking the cycle of living to eating vs eating to live.

I did have ground beef in a skillet .. brown it up and put a piece of cheese on top! Just remember to take your time eating and chewing very, very well.

Oh shoot, did I remember to reply??

I have more answers now, at least.

- canned tuna (add Greek yogurt and make it even higher protein)

-rotisserie chicken (sadly only moist enough the day you buy it, but this is the meat my stomach likes best)

-stewed chicken (fall apart soft, cooked low and slow like in a crock pot)

-finely ground beef (I've been having this with my fam on tostada nights, but remember to chew especially well.) I had some with my Beans in a pinch at Taco Bell too

-meatball Soups. Our Tia makes aboldigas with big 3oz meatballs, and they are fall apart tender.

-fish steamed in foil or parchment paper packets

avoid until later:

fried

baked (unless in a packet with liquid)

dried (jerkey)

sauteed

steak, lamb, pork

      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.
