Clear Protein leaving a film in mouth?



Recommended Posts

Have any of you experienced this? I have with only clear Protein (juice like) protein. I had it with my sleeve and now my rny but only post-op. Pre-op it left no film.

i tried brushing my teeth and using mouthwash etc but nothing seems to take the film away. When I move my tongue around I can feel it and then I just spit it out.

I had a similar experience with unflavored Protein Powder something about mixing one of the non lemonade ( this makes a bad aftertaste ) propell flavor sticks took it away , that may work for you.

For me, I thought Isopure was horrible for this. UGH! I didn't find it as bad with the other, less concentrated, Protein waters.

I prefer the clear over the Protein Shakes too! I don't have a film,but it takes a while for me to get it down and the ice i put in it thins it out as it starts to melt- maybe that helps?? I am traveling right now and at the airport I tried a Fairlife shake. 26G Protein, 20 carbs and, 150 calories. I know most people would go crazy over that number of carbs- but didn't have a better option. OMG that strawberry and banana Protein Shake was good!!! It was the best one that I have tasted hands down.

I've never seen the Fairlife shakes. Where did you find them?

I also usually use clear Protein waters diluted with both ice and some extra Water. They are just overbearingly sweet.

      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.
