I tried GNC,Isopure, Premier and I my tummy didn't like them either. I was on Herbalife ones for 3 days but they don't have a lot of Protein. OMG can someone please help me out here and give me ideas. I also hate Cottage cheese. So is there another way I can get my protein in with foods?? I've been on a stall for 5 days and I gained 2 pounds because I got my period (TMI) sorry but Im going crazy here. Im 21 yrs old.

Is it true that if I don't get my Water and protein in I will not lose weight??

Same thing was happening to me. I don't know if you have an smoothie King by your house? They have been my life saver. I get the small vanilla gladiator, 45 gr Protein and 1 carb. I like it so much that I went back and bought the powder to do it myself at home. Just an idea.

Have you tried a protein shot (liquid shot, not a needle?) I found it on a website and it has like 45 grams of protein and 100 calories. I asked previously if anybody had tried it and nobody answered but it seems like it might be helpful, especially in the beginning. If you can't find the post let me know and I'll try to locate the website i found.

I feel sluggish if I don't get enough protein. I really like Muscle Milk powder lite 32 grams protein and I put in a blender with ice and non fat milk. It's a good pick me up. At work when i cant blend I drink

EAS AdvantEDGE Lite chocolate 17 grams protein it's good.

They have the protein shots on Amazon. You could also try Isopure-tsstes nasty but has 40 grams of protein and 160 calories. I dilute it with water if I need extra protein.

here's the information if you decide to try it. i figure it's small and quick. Bariatric Advantage "Yes Whey" which is a 2.9 oz liquid shot (25 grams) of whey protein

I couldn't tolerate any form of protein shakes, either, until I made my own using "real food." Greek yogurt, milk, flavorings, a couple of ice cubes. You can bump up the protein by adding nonfat milk powder or Egg Beaters (they're pasteurized). Zap in a blender and voila. It's not as high in protein as a ready-to-drink or powder, but you can get all the ingredients at the store, plus I found it really easy to customize to fit my tastes (plus my sleeve actually let me keep these down!). Hang in there. It gets easier when you can move to mushies.

Im 4 weeks out too and talked to my dr this week about this. I don't get mine in or anywhere near it. He said don't worry about it for now. Try to eat things like fish and drink milk when I can. Keep taking my vitamins and I'll be fine.

On another note, I do get my water in by adding things like orange slices in my clear cup. Makes for a pretty drink and has a hint of orange.

I'm 10 weeks and sometimes still don't get in all my protein. Keep working at it, you will get there.

I heard oh yeah strawberry protein shakes are good. The 14oz has 32g of protein.

My NUT said the protein shots were a poor source of protein. I don't know why....I had to pee..then forgot to ask her when I got back.

I cant tolerate the shakes. They made me vomit, and I ended up back in the hospital. My Dr. said not to worry about it. Keeping hydrated was more important. I try to eat an egg for t, mushy ceral & greek yogurt, and flaky fish. Of course your diet depends on your Dr..... I can have chicken (skinless) starting next week. I've lost 26lbs....there are other ways to get protein than those nasty over priced shakes!

if you can find out i'd love to know why. i haven't tried it yet but at least initially it seems like a good choice. Its 100% whey protein, which i understand is what we want. Just went shopping to stock-up a little and get shakes, Vitamins, etc. I was amazed at the differences in protein per drink raning from 5 g per can to 26 for a giant can at walmart.

Think i'm going to order some of the unjury without flavor to put on my meals.

@stillooking; sure I'll email her tomorrow and ask her. I think it has to do with the protein digestability score. Meaning it says it's 42g of protein but not all of it is digestible if you take it in one sitting so really your not getting the 42g but I'm not sure I will check with her. If anyone else has any info regarding this please feel free to share.

If you're unable to find a protein shake that you can stand enough to drink (I prefer chocolate Muscle Milk RTD, either the lite or regular version), you can put unflavored protein powder in almost anything. I use the unflavored Unjury protein powder, and it works pretty well. If you put in anything "hot," the temperature has to be below 130 degree (or the protein denatures, much like egg whites do when cooked, and you'll get clumpy yuck). I use it in hot tea, all kinds of broths and cream soups, I've added it to thin oatmeal and cream of wheat, and to yogurt and cottage cheese. The Unjury chicken broth flavored powder is also pretty ok...particularly if you mix it in chicken broth, instead of water. (Again...make sure it isn't hotter than 130 degree!). Best of luck to you!

lolly - I just tried to order unjury unflavored but I dont have their acceptable credit card (I use amex). Can this be purchased anywhere else?

Minismom -- Also, when looking at the Protein shots and other forums everybody seems concerned about the type of protein and "Whey Protein" is what we need. This is the only shot I found that was all "Whey protein".
