I am sick of protein shakes. It is hard getting 70 grams of proteins. What about those protein shots. Do they taste bad? Any other suggestions.

The Protein shots I've had do taste bad!

I have a few ways of getting the protein in.. in the morning i have 4oz. skim, 4-8 oz decaf coffee (i perfer cold), 1 serviing of vanilla protein and 3tbs of sugar free flavored syrup.

Greek yogurt has lots of protein and is very filling.

Tuna fish also has alot of protein.

I just tried Unjury - it is a great protein - I can put the unflavored in my coffee in the morning an get 20 grams of protein. I have had a hard time with getting all my protein in but this plus the protein shake from costco (30 grams of protein) and I am getting all my protein down.

i just bought some protein shots,, they actually arrived today! I will let you know how they are when I open them.

Unjury Chicken Soup flavor, 1 scoop to 8 oz water, 21g protein, tastes just like chicken noodle soup to me. Plus its warm which I do much better than cold.

I swear by Unjury...I buy the Choc, Vanilla and unflavored.

I am struggling too! People tell me that there is a protien pill but I don't know how effective it is. I would ask your dr about it. I use bariatric advantage and I feel like it's thick and too sweet =[ I can't eat regular food yet because my band is only 7 days old, but when I can I think I'll go for fish since it seems to pack alot of protien. I would like to know about the taste of those protien shots too pls! I know it's important, my friends hair is falling out because she can't get enough protien. I refuse to have my hair fall out!!!!!! Let me know if you find something you like. Best wishes

I'm not suppose to have soft foods yet, but my dh was worried about me not getting enough protein, so he made me homemade broth with lots of veggies and a can of beans. He pureed the whole thing and ran it through a sieve so I don't get any chunks. Beans have tons of protein. It is wonderful to have another option, not just sickly sweet shakes. You should probably ask your doctor if this would be ok before you do it. Good luck.

Take a look out on the Bariatric Eating website when you get a chance- they have TONS of choices available, including Soups, puddings, Entrees, and Fruit drinks that are protein-rich, but not calorie/fat/salt laden. I purchased a variety of things to have in stock, so I wouldn't get bored...and today is my first day on full liquids, so I'm really looking forward to getting started on them.

unjury is terrific- you can put their unflavored Protein into anything to boost the level; I'm going to try the chicken flavor in some savory things as well.

Everyone I've talked to says that the protein bullets are sicky-sweet and not great tasting. I believe they are better if they are mixed with Water to dilute them a bit.

Hope this helps!

I am sick of Protein shakes. It is hard getting 70 grams of Proteins. What about those protein shots. Do they taste bad? Any other suggestions.

they're not totally bad, but it's only like a shot too:smile2:

also try the soups, and entrees etc from Bariatric Choice... I use they're product, and I have a Shakeology shake every day...

Remember your protein from other foods too like greek yogurt... lean meats and fish and my favorite is salmon yum!

I use Dymatize Elite Whey protein Isolate which is very creamy. I add it to 8 oz of Skim Plus milk which is also better than Skim milk because it's creamier and has more protein. I also like the Unjury chicken soup flavored protein powder.

To get my protein in I eat alot of chicken and fish. I also toss some Detour whey protein bars in once a day. I haven't tried the protein shots yet.

I "whisked" some Unury unflavored Protein powder into my mushroom soup today (still on liquids), and I couldn't even tell it was in there. It was awesome.

I'm sick of Protein shakes, too!

Are the protein shakes a forever necessity? I am sick of the taste... I rotate between 3 flavors but ....

I am one week since surgery. My Dr's office gave me a list of recipes to use with the shakes. Make use of the blender, add 1/2 to 1 cup of ice, add sugar-free jello (dry) or sugar-free pudding (dry), to add different flavors, use instant coffee to add a different flavor, add sugar free chocolate syrup or sugar free carmel sauce, or add yogurt, with different juices. Make an orange julius or lemon lush, or mocha coffee flavor...but use the blender, skim milk, and ice...it makes all the difference in the world.

Wal-Mart sell Whey protein for $12.00 for a 2 lb tub in chocolate/vanilla/strawberry flavors...I love my shakes!!

I guess I am lucky, because I love my protein shakes. I have to have the choc ones. I don't even miss ice cream or cake, as long as I can have a shake. I put frozen banana slices in it and sometimes some peanut butter. YUMMY.

The Protein in the protein shots is not as bioavailable as whey protein isolate.

I really like the Inspire shakes at bariatriceating.com.

If you're sick of sweet shakes, their PURE unflavored whey protein isolate powder is undetectable in broth, soup, Greek yogurt, and so on.
