Can't drink protein



Recommended Posts

You can dilute it. You can try different brands. You can try different flavors. But, you have to get in your Protein.

When I was still on Clear liquids, I liked the ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates. Early out I used them undiluted over ice. Now I add them to Water and/or Water and crystal light.

I also like Syntrax nectar. In particular Fuzzy Navel.

Try Protein Soups like ProtiDiet Tomato basil or creamy chicken or powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup.

Try Premier Protein.

Try using the Protein Powder and then make as much watery mixture is you need. Maybe this way you can get it to a consistency that works for you. Remember the blender is needed for the Protein powder to give it a good mix.

Dilute it down and add ice. Also check out some of the Protein drinks like Isopure Nocarb or Syntrax nectar.

thank you I need to go check those out

I did the Bariatric Advantage shakes pre-op but for the first two weeks post op those were actually too thick. So I just resorted to Premier Protein vanilla (I could not fathom chocolate at that point). I drank about 4 oz at a time over the course of an hour in my little medicine cup shot glasses. Good luck!

I just bought a box of Premier Protein shakes from BJs and they're not super thick! For 30 grams of Protein in a small shake I was pleasantly surprised and they can certainly be watered down a bit if need be.

How do you guys do with the Protein Shakes it's so thick I'm suppose to drink 4oz three times a day ugh it's giving me trouble to do it :( it's so nasty when it's thick

Congrats on your surgery, so exciting. Mine did get denied as my insurance had filed bankruptcy????

My Dr will submit to my new carrier on 12/1. As another member mentioned try the Syntrax Protein mix's, they mix very well with Water & are lite. My favorite is the fuzzy navel flavor, got it at Vitamin Shoppe. Best of everything to you.

GNC is having a sale. I was there last night. The bottle were buy 3 get one free. I also use the ibotta app (referral code blyssq)and they are offering $5 cashback when you spend $25 at GNC.< /p>

Regardless of what brand you try, always save your receipts. Any unused Protein can be returned with a valid receipt.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
