first off.....yes i know i shouldn't weigh myself everyday....(but seeing the scale go down makes my day!)

second...yes i know i should be getting x amt of Protein everyday

with that being said...my current Protein shakes are making me sick. I can't stomach them so i got the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and im sipping on a few other protein shakes i had from pre op. Definitely not getting anywhere near the recommended goal....eating a couple teaspoons of Soup....little bit of Jello...maybe a popsicle and have been doing very well with the Water intake the past couple days...

well i was 251.2 or so wednesday morn. I was hoping for 240's thursday morning so i hopped on the scale , 250.2, i figured this morning 249.....NOPE 250.6 WHY ON EARTH DID I GAIN!? Even though im not getting my protein in, im barely eating...how did i gain? SO i just peaked before bed and im 252. I'm just not getting it. I'm drinking as much as i can. Is it the protein thats changing everything up?

--i do have my TOM (but it came on b/c of the surgery)

-I have been walking and doing house work...light house work

SO whats up?!?!?!?!?!

I am LOVING the Wylers brand sugar free sleeves but my fav kind is "cherry limeade." Of all places, I found it at Family Dollar as I went on a wild goose chase for those crystal light mocktini's that I read on another thread. They didn't have them there, but thank God I tried this kind - and I LOVE IT. I'm up to 14 glasses of Water most days (and I hate water in all honesty).

Hang in there girl - it gets easier in time. It's very frustrating in the beginning. And most Protein powders, to me, taste like a monkey's butt. Sorry... I know you have to have them in the beginning, but....

I did like the power pak pudidngs at GNC/Vitamin Shoppe, but in chocolate. Vit Shoppe has a refrig section where you can try before you buy and save your receipts and you can bring back w/in so many days (even opened containers).

i saw the appletini and peach bellini ones at cvs or walgreens, i think it was walgreens!!!

I'm not liking the milk protein right now and the Isopure is nasty, it makes my mouth dry. I'm thinking of the shots. I can't remember what my nutritionist said about the shots...but either way its got to be better than no protein at all until i start mushies next week!

For me, the shots made me literally WRETCH, as did Isopuke (sorry to those that like it). Try Cytosport's Whey Isolate RTD drinks that they sell at Vitamin shoppe... I loved Tangerine and Tropical. They have them in the refrig section too!

I REALLY hate most Protein drinks. I just spent $2.99 on Oh, Yeah drink. I could barely choke down half of it. Either people get paid to write reviews about these drinks or my tastes are WAY off. I had my daughter and hubby taste it and they agreed it is the worst one yet for having the nasty aftertaste. I have better luck buying Hood Carb Countdown dairy drink and mixing the unjury unflavored in it. If you have not ordered Unjury, it is very good. I have only tried unflavored and the chicken Soup but they are drinkable without the artificial sweet nasty aftertaste.

I get mushy foods next week and I am so thankful for the chance to have some different tastes to look forward to!

I hated every protein drink I tried! Nutmeg state nutrition sells gels that mix with water and taste like juices. They have 15mg of protein each and they saved me! They're nothing like a shake or milk so I loved them!

I felt the same way about protein shakes until my nut said i could use fat free yogurt n as long as the calorie count was low it was ok. So i got the whey protein powder n axelrod fat free yogurt with a lil water n ive been mixing it up every since.

i went and got the shakes today. Grape-42 g protein. They were really sweet so i mixed it with a little grape gatorade.....i drank some...dont really like it. its got a weird taste...i just went to drink more and almost threw up. I dont know what im going to do. i guess ill wait for my isopure to come in. I can't wait til mushys next week!

Premier is good I drank them before surgery and still have one every morning sometimes mix it

in my coffee muscle milk is ok I have really not tried that many because I like premier. I did try oh yeah it was ok more calories then premier

can ya fins AVIA for women its a protein drink that is fab...and I put in a table spoon of plain greek yogurt and some surgar free chocklate surup...and shake it with 3 book of ice in it and 4 ox 1 % milk.....OMG its to die for............my gastric sleeve nutritionist said to do it that way...and any other suar free syrups to change the flavour......Im not allowed gatorade.... to much of everything in it....I sip all day on cyrstale lite ...its nice....I had cream of wheat for breakfast this morning...Im allowed...........its starting to look good........yeeeehhhhaaaaaaa

but I will tell ya what............I YAM HUNGY..............lol

I am 13 days Post Op, I have been drinking Premier chocolate 11 oz 30 grams

Protein. This seems to be pretty easy for me to get 80 g a day. My solution to

the scale was to TRASH IT and wait for the Docs weigh ins.

Stay positive it will work!!!!!!!!
