Has Anyone Had Trouble WithProtein Shakes?



Recommended Posts

I've tried all Brands and types. Every single one makes me sick. At first i thought it was whey but i tried plant, soy, egg white. I was able to keep the egg white down one time but i had to mask it with a lot of fruit and juice and it still tore my stomach in knots. Has anyone else had problems with Protein and did you ever come up with a solution?

Are you post-op?

How far out?

Have you tried premier Protein shakes?

Also if you're out far enough you can add it to some warm coffee.

I don't use Protein Powder at all. I can get my Protein in with drinking skim milk and my food. I track it on MFP. I am supposed to get 50-60 grams a day. I do use carnation sugarfree instant Breakfast and that mixed with a cup of skim milk is 13 grams of protein.I seem to be the only one on here that goes to a doctor that does not recommend using protein powder.< em>

Less of me I'm pretty much done trying different types as it hurts too much to throw it up and I'm almost 10 weeks out.

KristiKay i will give that a try

My NUT said when I get to the real food stage to eat food vs drinking shakes. She said wean yourself off of them asuch as possible.

Sorry I couldn't be of any help. Hope you start feeling better soon and find something that works.

Have you tried Isopure? It is clear and fruit flavored. One bottle is 40 grams Protein. I mix a little into my crystal light throughout the day. I HATED Protein Shakes, they made me gag! Until I tried the vanilla Premier Protein mixed with coffee.< /p>

Premier Protein that comes already mixed is the only one that doesn't make me ill.

Did you try the Isopure shake or the clear drink?

I'm also one who has trouble with shakes. For a while I was tolerating GNC's pre-mixed Total Lean, but after my recent bout with norovirus, I can't even handle that any more. They were tolerable, now they're cloyingly sweet and just leave me feeling icky. I had an Atkins vanilla shake tonight (I'm back on only liquids for a bit) and held that down okay.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
