I was banded 10/11/12. I'm doing good with fluids (46 oz today), but the Protein Shakes now make me nauseated. In fact, the thought of the shakes makes me nauseated. What will I do for Protein until I move to mushies? I've ordered some protein from unjury, but it won't be here for a few days....

I'd love to get some suggestions...

Thanks!

the pre made stuff is pretty good the powered ones is yucky dont go there.

Now I am just the opposite of line dancer, I can not stand the pre mixed I like the powdered kind. If the flavor is the issue or the milk base you could go to a Vitamen Store or GNC and purchase something called Isopure. This comes in a bottle, it is 40gms of protein and it sorta tastes like koolaid, there is still some after taste but it is tolerable. I like the grape and pineapple. The nutrition info is 140 calories, no carbs and 40 gms of protein There are a dozen or so flavors. As I stated I have come to like the powdered protein, it has taken me two years. I used to order from a web site called Bariatriceating.com. They make the best unflavored protein powder I have used, it does not change texture of food and I used to add it to my yogurt, soups, latte's and mashed potatos. Hope some of this helps. It is hard in the beginning but it does get better.

Try the Atkins chocolate shakes, they have a little less protien than others but they are alot more tolerable and not a huge investment. It's super important that you get some protien in right now or your going to feel like crap! I don't know of any other significant source of protien in liquid form other than shakes, isopure(gag), and unjury. I guess if you simply cannot do a shake at all sip broth it has a little protien.

I'm guessing that it is the sweet that you are sick of? I recently went through this as I was placed on liquid diet for 6 weeks. I've heard of Proteins in form of Soup (maybe the unjury brand ??) Anyhow, out of desperation this is what I did (do) just to break away from all the sweetness in the Protein Drinks. I do very much like whole pinto Beans, so, I take 3/4 cup of pinto beans along with it's juice and blend it (puree) it with a tad of beef broth with a few slices of jalapenos. Probably not the highest in Protein, but, what a break from the sweet stuff. You probably don't want to do this often, but, a break sure does help.

I am editing this because I just realized that you are newly banded. If you choose to try this I would get the OK from your doctor. jake
