protein shakes make me gag. HELP!



Recommended Posts

I had the same problem!!! I did however drink carnation sugar free vanilla my doctor suggested. And I can add my vanilla Protein Powder to cold coffee, milk, ice, and a sprinkle pumpkin pie spice. I also like Atkins cafe Carmel. Good luck. These have been the hardest part other than Vitamins. Can't stand them post op. Make me vomit also

I've tried a bunch at first I did one Premier Protein RTD chocolate and one Isopure, I'm struggling with Isopure these days and just actually asked if I could dilute it! Maybe try a few more kinds. I still find those Premier ready to drink feel best on my sleeve and don't have a nasty taste!

I do not have difficulty getting fluids/protein supplements down 5 weeks post op. For those that do, there is new product recently out there. At walgreens there is probalance Protein shot XL... It contains 28 grams of protein in 3 oz, which is nearly unheard of... This may benefit those who can only get small amounts . You can also goigle search item and find it.

I understand it to Bethe way the protein will break down and absorbs in your system. There is alot more to it but can't remember every thing. Designer whey and champion make very tasty

I tried a new thing today. I did 1 cup milk, 1 scoop Unjury vanilla Protein powder, 1 tsp vanilla flavoring, and 2 tbsp great value natural pb. Used a handful of ice and blended. Tastes like pb shake. Can def do this!!! And was surprised how little sugar was in pb. Less than in my premixed shakes.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
