Having trouble drinking all the protein Shakes, anyone found protein pills?



Recommended Posts

What is giving you trouble? The taste? Do they settle bad? I couldnt' find a good tasting one so I bought the ottawala protien drinks and I take 3/4 a serving (not a bottle) blend it with 1 cup goat's milk but any milk would do fine, 1 tbs of yogurt and 1/4 a banana then I add some ice and voila it's yummy. Here are the stats

This is for 1 serving. Like I said I get about 3 shakes out of a 2 serving bottle.

220 calories

4gm fat

27 carbs

18 protien

Plus you have to add in your info from your milk/banana/yogurt.

My goal is to be between 800-1000 calories/day eventually so this might be too many calories for you. You can always dilute it down with more skim milk and ice but it works for me.

Please let someone find a pill for Protein. I was just telling my mom the other day, whoever made a pill for protein would probably be very rich. Let me know if you find one and where.

Yeah, they come in chocolate too. I may have to break down and buy some . I want to order some whey gournet Peanut Butter and chcolate from netrition too, and the shipping is 4.99 for no matter how much stuff you order. Those crisps sound good to put into yogurt. I use Greek yogurt, because it has way less carbs and more Protein but it would be good to add a little more protein.

What about those protien bullets? For being so small they have alot of protien in them! Maybe that would be easier than a big shake..Just a thought.......

From what I have been told, the bullets are not 100% whey Protein so it won't be absorbed as efficiently.

      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!!
