I am so sick of protein shakes!



Recommended Posts

Seriously. It could be the most delicious Protein Shake that ever existed... I still don't want it! I feel like I'm going to develop an eating disorder pretty soon because at this point I'd rather eat nothing than any more fluids. Bleh... I know I know "whine whine whine" ha ha.. alright, I'm done.

Yeah, there must over 200 shake recipes...but if you don't want a shake, you don't want a shake :w00t:! Wish I had a suggestion for you. How many days do you have left? Can you mix Protein Powder with anything else like pudding? Although maybe you're tired of sweet stuff. Guess the Protein powder doesn't come in pizza or cheeseburger flavor...darn. Oooh, can you imagine how nasty that shake would be??

Yep, I'll say it: Hang in there!!;)

Good luck to you and hope you get to have some real food soon. Well, mushy :blink:, but real.

Abby I feel the same way! I haven't had a Protein Shake for the last few days, sorry to say. Just can't get it down, the thought of it makes me shudder, ewwww....Also can't get down another cream Soup. That leaves me with popsicles and yogurt! I'm sure you are in a similar boat...

food will come soon...its amazing how excited I am to eat tuna and egg salad at the end of the week "chopped finely" in my food processor... How times have changed!:)

Thanks guys. All I can eat until Thursday is Protein Drinks and clear liquids. Thursday I get thickened liquids so I will be able to have pudding, cream Soups and yogurt. I will continue to drink the Protein drinks just because I have to get my nutrition somehow, but let's just say I'm not happy about it! I suppose it's the price I have to pay, right?

Ha ha... cheeseburger flavored shake... eww. At least this process is teaching me to not take food for granted. I will cherish every bite when I can start eating real foods again!

I'm so sick of popsicles too. It's weird because I used to love them and eat them all the time, now they seem about as appetizing to me as an iceberg salad without dressing.

Try Isopure Zero Carb Protein drinks. Its 40 g protein in 20 oz bottle. They come in lots of fruit flavors, including black or green tea.

Hang in there.

I've been drinking the Isopure also. The only one I've tried is the Grape Frost. It isn't terrible. Of course, it's my first day post op so I haven't had it enough to hate it yet. :)

      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.
