It's been 1 week. I feel really good, but I never want to eat and when I force myself to drink a protein shake I gag. Today I was supposed to start on my supplements from Bariatric advantage and I gagged after chewing the vitamins... Any tips?

Best tip: Hang in there!

If the stuff makes you gag, try thinner things like chicken broth, juice, or just Water. The only way i could get anything down for a while was i used popsicle molds and just put water in them, froze it and sucked the water down that way. just take it slowly and if d=something makes you gag or puke, take a break from it for a while. Good luck!

Thank you. I am doing broth, really, really soupy Cream of wheat.... The problem is, my surgeon wants me to drink three protein shakes a day. I just can't do it.... I have tried thinning them out with milk. They just make me feel awful. Ugh!

Holgan how much time in do u have

Bariatric advantage vitamins are tuff for lots of people try other brands until you find one you can tolerate, I use source of life adult chewable and split the dose 1 am & 1pm- $25.00 for 45 days . Early after surgery I had some mild lactose intolerance so mixing isopure lo carb Dutch chocolate with water was a game changer. Also check out unjury chicken soup 20 g protein and is a nice savory ( salty ) change. Hope you feel better soon!

Angelbabys....only 8 days

Three and a half weeks out and no expert but.....re protein. I hate shakes as well. What does work for me is cold decaf coffee with a big scoop of unflavored protein powder. Half and half, equal, ice, in the blender. Excellent and no icky taste. There are also protein "shots" out there, about 4 oz, 42 grams. Sickly sweet so I pour them over crushed ice - snow cone! Finally, Carnation Instant Breakfast (sugar free), 8 oz milk, 1/3 cup of dry milk. Tolerable. Good luck!

I'm about 2 1/2 weeks out - the thing that saved me were the Syntrax Nectar shakes. I got the fruit flavored kind that you can mix with water. Thick shakes didn't sit well with me at all. I used one packet with about 16 oz. of water and ice. Best thing ever.

Where do you buy them?

You can buy them online, I think bariatric pantry has them. You can purchase the sample pack so you can test out the flavors. I added PB2 powder to chocolate chike powder protein with high protein milk-I used a blender bottle to keep it watery. I also used a straw to drink it because the smell nauseated me.

There is a thread on here about those vitamins it seems they make everyone gag.

Where do you buy them?

Premium protien shakes at Sams have 40 grams if protien in them, I blended one today with a banana and 1/8 of nutmeg, it was the first one I've actually didn't gag on.

Watch out for those if you are lactose intolerant. I took 2 Lactaid pills and it still gave me problems.

I have a Vitamin Shoppe in my town and they carry Syntrax nectar! I'm going to pick some up to try! Thanks!!!

The syntax nectar is great! Get the trial packets to find what you like best. I prefer the chocolate. vanilla is ok I did not like the strawberry didn't try the cherry
