Ugh - protein shake is making me nauseous



Recommended Posts

So today is day one of a week of liquid Protein Shakes of my preop diet (then 2 weeks of high Protein, low carb, low fat eating then 1 week of protein liquid again alternating).

The shakes make me feel nauseous. They are just too sweet. I’m dealing with Premier Protein - vanilla, chocolate, & caramel. My plan is to do Unjury unflavored in Water with crystal light but my shipment won’t get here until Tuesday. Any tips???

Dilute with unsweetened Almond or coconut milk? or add 1 cup of cold, Decaf coffee for an iced latte?

I hate Protein Shakes unless they are filled with Peanut Butter. My only advice is to not breath while drinking and to chug. It's funny because sometimes I am not chugging it; therefore, when I talk to people while drinking I am only breathing through my mouth and I sound so funny. They are all like, "What is your deal?" and I am all like, "I hate Protein shakes!" But I gotta do what I gotta do! Let me tell you I am a terrible emotional binge eater. This has been the hardest week for myself; however, somehow I stuck to it! I did not cheat once! If I can do it, you can do it! :) :) Good luck! Also, try making your own shake! My nutritionist said I can have once scoop with fairlife milk, banana, and 2 tsp of natural peanut butter. Does make it much better.

I get 3 dairy servings (either 1 cup of milk) or yogurt. I’ve been doing the yogurt so I get to “eat” something. Ugh! Maybe I’ll get used to it. 🤢

I truly just recommend not breathing. If I breath, I gag. Trust me! :) I don't know how I am going to take little sips throughout the entire day after surgery ughhhhhhhh

Drink ice cold,

The best flavor I've found is Isopure Dutch chocolate, too expensive for me to buy constantly

runner up, premier caramel in coffee

honorable mentions

EAS carb control rich/royal chocolate, premier peaches and cream in almond milk with peach or banana blended or with Good Earth's Matcha Maker tea

I realized you can't have all of this now, but come back to it later

      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.
