Something doesn't taste right...



Recommended Posts

Hi all!

I underwent VSG last Monday 4.24 and all went well.

Stats:

Height 5'5"

HW: 246.8

SW: 235

CW: 223

Goal: 140

My question, ever since Sunday, nothing is appealing. The thought of broth makes me nauseous. Every time I drink my Protein Drinks, I almost instantly have to run to the restroom. I also have this weird taste in my mouth and nothing I can have during this phase seems

appealing. Help!! How can I get my Protein in??? I went to the store and bought diff types of protein drinks, maybe a diff brand will help. I was drinking Premier Protein.< /p>

It is probably that nickle taste you can get with ketosis.

Try drinking more Water.

Yep, it is likely ketosis, which is from your diet being overly low in carbohydrates at the moment - not an uncommon thing this early out when our diets are little more than Protein. It will resolve as your diet improves over time.

I find the Vitaelph the best, not so much for taste, but they have so much protein , you can mix it with 3 oz's of Water ... and you got 18g of protein , only 80 calories and low everything , It's made for WLS Patients.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
