protein shakes make me gag. HELP!



Recommended Posts

I am 4 days post op and I cant stomach the Protein shakes anymore. I`ve tried several different flavors and brands and spent over 200.00 bucks trying to find something I can tolerate but havent no luck. I manage thru the 2 weeks Liquid Protein diet prior to surgery but I can not stomach it anymore. The smell of the Protein Powder makes me gag!! I know how important it is to get my Protein in but I feel like its hopeless amd need HELP please!!!

I feel for you, really. I tried every powder I could find and they ALL made me gag. There's just something about that whey protein smell that turns my stomach. The only Protein shake that worked for me is Premier Protein pre-mixed shakes. 30g protein, 160 calories, 5g carbs. I wouldn't have been able to have the surgery if it weren't for them.

Hi you can buy the premier shakes at costco or SAMs club.

I hate them as well. What has worked for me is Carnation Instant Breakfast (no sugar), skimmed milk and 1/3 cup of dry milk powder. About 20 grams. The best??? Decaf cold coffee, sweetener of choice, half and half and a big scoop of unflavored whey Protein. Blend it up with ice - no protein taste at all!!!

I'm 5 days post and I can't stomach a Protein Shake today I refuse to sip and start gagging. I will have some yogurt and go to the store and buy sf Syrup hope that helps with my Protein. Today everything is closed due to Christmas so I'll just focus on my liquid intake. I hope I'm not causing harm.

What about Unjury chicken Soup flavored whey Protein. I had 1/2 scoop mixed with warm (140 degree) Water an hour ago. Hit the spot for me! 4 days out

Not sure if true but was told to always mix my Protein powders with colds .. Water or milk because mixing in warm foods break down the Proteins before your body can absorb it

You are right about temperature. Unjury recommends that you keep temps below 140 degrees to not break down the Protein. I have also heated the Unjury chocolate Splendor with skim milk to make a terrific hot chocolate

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
