I smell like protein shakes!



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 7/16/2009 and I have been following my Protein requirements to a "t", about one month after surgery I noticed this sweet soft odor, but it took me until 2 weeks to figure out what it was. I smell just like the Protein shakes I drink! I have asked a couple of close friends and husband, they say they cannot smell it. However, I can no longer wear Michael Khors perfume (does not mix well with protein smell), it makes hubby sick!:tongue_smilie:

Has anyone else experienced this?

LOL! I saw the title and had to read the thread. I'm sorry you can't wear your perfume anymore!... but it IS pretty darn funny!

Good for you for sticking with the program - no matter the cost!

It's great! I went out with her the other night after she went and had a drink with a friend and I was like did you drink a malibu and coke?! And she did. I guess some people emit the smell through their pores or something.

      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.
