Protein & Vitamin Intake

[Tooba 2]

I had the gastric sleeve surgerg on 3/13/18. Im hitting 4 weeks post op and having a difficult time intaking 60g of Protein. I started drinking Protein Shakes but I can not find one that I like. Any suggestions?

Also, I was told to take chewable Multivitamins. I have tried so many and end up throwing up because of the taste. Which ones are you guys taking?

Have you tried Premier Protein shakes? Those are the only ones I like. I take the Vitamin gummies, Natures Bounty.

I take 2 Flintstones multivitamins (well, the generic) every morning. As for Protein, I like the Premier Protein ready-to-drink shakes or the Syntrax Nectar powders. I also get the Protein2O protein Water, which is 15g of protein in 17 oz of water.

No I haven't tried the Premier Protein yet. I was just searching about it. Seems like a lot of people like it. I’ll try it out! Thanks!

I will also try the gummies. I just ordered the Premier Protein. Hopefully it helps. I wasn't expecting this to be this difficult, plus the weakness is getting to me. Thank you for the suggestion!

I would stay away from gummies. Your pouch doesn't have enough stomach acid to break down the gummies. The chalky ones are the only way to go, until you can swallow pills. I recently switched to a bariatric Vitamin I can swallow.

Where do you get the Vitamin patch

Premier Protein chocolate was my favorite Protein Drink, until I became intolerant of whey. Now Muscle Milk Pro Chocolate is my go to.

I struggle with Vitamins making me nauseous as well. The only chewable I was mostly ok with is the Centrum Chewable Adult. Now that I can take pills I've switched to Whole Foods prenatal, which I am loving, it causes no nausea!

Your doctor didn’t advise you against gummies? Mines were strict on the no gummie Vitamins.

I really like the flavors I've had, but they do have a strong aftertaste that might turn some people off. I have found individual bottles at Hy-Vee, and you can buy a case of 12 (either all one flavor or a variety pack with three flavors - tropical coconut, grape, and mixed berry) at walmart.com (but not in-store). https://www.walmart.com/ip/Protein2o-Protein-Infused-Water-Variety-Pack-16-9-Fl-Oz-12-Count/54393878
