Can't handle protein shakes



Recommended Posts

I agree make your own light ones real light ones

For example

3 oz Almond Milk - 1/2 scoop Protien powder - a flavor (5 blueberrys) or a teaspoon of Peanut Butter - Then add ice and blend it in a nutra bullet.

Really sip it slow -

If you can find Shamrock Farms Protein Shakes by you I highly recommend them! I was in the same boat as you and these ones don't taste like Protein shakes at all!

Unjury readymade is the only thing I can handle. Order it and you can thank me later. I had massive anxiety about finding a shake I could tolerate.

I had the same problem. I would try the unflavored Protein or yogurt :) Good luck!

Agree with Brent 701. Unjury is not as sickening sweet as others. Their Protein chicken broth is decent and they also carry a unflavored protein powder. I use some of the ready to drink chocolate and vanilla, and flavored powders mix with Fairlife per RD. Hope this helps. Unjury.com

GNC carries clear Protein Drinks from Isopure. I tried several and found the Green Tea the most palatable. A couple other flavors I tried were fruit Punch and berry. I use these for my Protein instead of the powder or shakes. It also counts to your daily liquid intake. It takes 1-1/2 bottles a day to meet the 60 gram protein requirement.

I am going through the same. Was fine with shakes with my sleeve but can’t handle them after my revision to bypass.

I use fairlife milk (13 gma protein) Unjury chicken broth (21 gma protein) and Bone Broth (10 grams protein) to get my Protein in.

Hang in there and good luck.

Meal Replacement shakes are still an option even after surgery. Since most of them seem to be soooooo sweet, I typically Water them down.

I don't drink any Protein Shakes but i do drink fair life milk every morning and it helps me get that extra Protein in.

I bought the GENEPRO at the suggestion of my daughter but have not used it yet. So far I am able to get the premier shakes down but think I will need something when I go to 1 shake a day in a few weeks.

      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.
