Aquire a taste for protein?



Recommended Posts

I've tried several, they all taste yucky. Do you get used to it, or do you just keep trying different kinds? This stuff is expensive, and I know it's important so I'll keep trying to gag it down. Just wondering if you eventually get used to it. :tongue2:

What Protein Shakes have you tried? I really like Boost Diabetic and Carnation Instant Breakfast sugar free (blue container). I like others as well, but those are the two I've had most often.

I think they're all disgusting, we have no where near as many varieties here though.

I just dont drink them.

Believe it or not, you can survive without Protein Shakes and without high Protein intakes. My hair hasnt fallen out, I lost all my weight easily, I'm not a muscleless blob and I'm very healthy.

Good to know!!! I plan on making good choices and exercising, increasing intensity when able and I'm hoping to not be a muscleless blob :thumbup: too. I am worried about my hair falling out, and I'm surprised at how many people do this and don't follow the rules. Eating healthy and exercising. Good to see people like you who did it, and did it right! I'm excited and nervous that it won't work for me. But I plan on making good choices, so it should work. I hope! I really want it too!!!!!

      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.
