Protein Powders Smell Like Vomit! Help!



Recommended Posts

I got the GNC unflavored Protein Powder and mixed 1/2 a scoop with my crystal light. I used those new insulated cups that have the plastic straws that you see everywhere so you cant smell it. Its not as much Protein as a shake, bc I only used 1/2 a scoop but I figure its better than nothing :/. If you mix it really well so theres no bumps (sometimes I used a whisk) its OK. I'm over 8 weeks out now so I can usually get all my protein in with food now so I dont have to use it too much anymore, thankfully :)

I definitely couldn't tolerate any of the Protein Drinks, either. I make my own with Greek yogurt, almond milk, and whatever else I feel like throwing in there. It's not as much Protein per drink as the powders or ready-to-drinks, but I can handle them--they stayed down when nothing else would, and they smell pleasant. :-)

I use Protein "shots" ......2.9oz of 25grams Protein in a tube called Profect. I order a mixed case of 4 different flavors and it is sent directly to my house. Go to www.Protica.com.

There are different flavors and they are not that bad, and since you drink it down in 3-4 "shot like slips" you really don't smell it.

Here's the nutrition info on the Profect Protein shot. Note that the first ingredient for protein is hydrolized collagen, which is not readily available to our bodies as sleevers. I also see that pure cane sugar and citric acid are ingredients in this. Both are things I avoid. There are a ton of threads about Protein Shots and how they aren't useful to us. Why choke down a nasty protein shot when the protein isn't usable by our body?

Ok girl I am 2 months out and I still hate Protein. I had to buy no flavor cause all the flavors made me sick. I bought soy protein at nutrition.com and I made my own flavor. I love Peanut Butter so I put 2 scoops peanut butter, 1/2 cup soy milk, 1/2 bannana, and 1 scoop protein and ice and its the best. Til this day I don't taste no other ones.

      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!!
