HELP...!

I'm 2 weeks post op and I'm sick of protein shakes. I've tried many and I can't drink them suckers. I'm done! I hate the way they all taste. I'm still on liquid for 2 more weeks. Not sure how I'm gonna get through this stage. I'm barely getting in about 30g of protein, when I should be at 60g. I'm drinking all my water and vitamins though. Im starting to worry. What will happen if I don't get all my proteins in?

Have you tried the unflavored? If you add it to warm coffee.. Let it sit for a while and heat the coffee back up it isn't detectable..I use flavored coffee (Gloria jean's English toffee) and add some stevia

I was told if you didn't get enough protein, you would lose your hair and muscle tissue among a list of other things. I was drinking muscle milk's chocolate powdered protein shakes and I couldn't take it anymore. I went to Costco yesterday and got their Premier Protein ready to drink shakes in chocolate. They are pretty good. To me they taste like really sweet chocolate milk and they have 30g of protein which means I only need two a day.

My nut won't let us use the premier shakes because it's not all whey isolate.. Again showing how different docs are

Can you do IsoPure, Sleeping B?

Wow! Your NUT is opposed to Premier Protein, but caffeinated flavored coffee is okay? You're totally right in pointing out how different each doc/program is - that is wild!

They are all so different. My nut gave me a print out with some different brands and places you can buy ready to drink and powders from. I'm just glad I found a Protein I like...for now.

Isopure protein drinks from GNC are delicious! 40g of protein in one bottle and they taste like Gatorade!!

I wondered if they just wanted me to buy from there.. They sell Celebrate, Bariatric Advantage and unjury brands

Good call Mama!

Thanks all for the advice. Yes I've tried muscle milk and I like it but for some reason most of the protein I've tried all taste like metal to me. Oh lord don't ask me why I just said metal. It just has a weird after taste that makes me nauseous. I guess I have to keep trying until I find one I like. I sure don't want to be bald. No way! I'm curious to try the unflavored in coffee. I love coffee so this might be it. Looking forward to try this. Thanks again all. I really appreciate your comments.

Haven't tried it yet but will be. Thanks for the advice. I've tried many Protein shakes and I hate them all so far.

You are so in my thoughts. I'm 12 days out and have tried my fair share of protein. Still searching for something that I like...urgh..lol.
