Protein Powders Smell Like Vomit! Help!



Recommended Posts

So i thought it was the actual taste of Protein powders that I cant stand and I finally discovered that it isnt. Its that nasty vomit inducing smell!!

I am pre op and have about 2 weeks until my sleeve surgery and I must find a Protein powder that doesnt stink.

The unjury chocolate splendor is actually pretty tasty.. if I plug my nose, and until I take a breath afterwards. OMG gross.

I have tried a few brands at Walmart, most of the Unjury flavors and the smell of all of them makes me sick. How am i going to do this after surgery if I cant stomach these at all??

Our tastes change after surgery, so maybe you'll be lucky and they will taste good to your afterwards. I personally like the Premier Protein bars and shakes that are sold at Sams or costco. There are ways to make most of the Protein Shakes taste better: using splenda/equal, adding SF syrups like Torani and DaVinci, mixing the Protein with other liquids to mask that taste.

You will eventually get used to the protein taste and it won't bother you as badly, but, just like beer and soda, it's an acquired taste. :)

Protein Powder drinks that I actually crave! No swelling of the whey & mixes instantly! It's called "Nectar" brand & it comes in various flavors...my favorite is the Cappachino - it really is awesome! They have chocolates etc, as well as fruit flavors like Fuzzy Navel and Roadside Lemonade etc. I first bought it at "Bariatric Advantage" online but have since been ordering through Amazon. I tried 5 other brands before finding the nectar brand and gagged at how they thickened and smelled funny...I am hooked on Nectar brand!

I can't help much with changing the smell (unless you use a different type of protien). But you might try using a sealed water bottle with a straw. This way you're not really smelling it.

Meadowesky - I drink my Protein from a "shaker" bottle that mixes it too. it has a small snap open lid for when you want a sip, so I don't really smell anything...maybe it's the lid or just the flavor I chose, but I LOVE this brand, none of theirs have gagged me & I was ready to

give up on Protein drinks when I found it!

BTW- I was sleeved by Dr Nicholson in Dallas on May 24th.

I dont know if its the smell or the taste but i am three months post op and have not been able to find a shake i can tolerate. It took my hair to fall out bad ( what can i say im hard headed) for me to say i better find one i can get down. I am happy to say i found a recipe on the eggface website for Peanut Butter cup shake and it was soooooo good. It didnt taste or smell like a crappy shake at all. It was like a milkshake treat on a hot day. Next on the list to try is strawberry cheesecake shake.

I am still in the pre-surgery observation period, and I have a while until my surgery, so I haven't tried many Protein Drinks. However, I did order samples of several different flavors from Nashua Nutrition. They have the nectar ones and tons of different brands, so this might be a cost-efficient way to find a few that you can stand!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
