Omg! Today I put a scoop of vanilla powder in my coffee and I couldn't taste the Protein, only the vanilla!!! Thank you!

Glad you found something that works for you! :)

Another good way to get in Protein is to mix Silken Tofu into your smoothies. :)

I could hardly choke the powdered shakes down' date=' but kept trying the first couple weeks after my surgery. In fact, the thought of them still makes me sick! I switched to the ready to drink premier Protein shakes and I love them. I'm six months out and I still have one for Breakfast every day. Just keep trying things till you find something you like.[/quote']

Me too. Try premier. Give up powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and making shakes. Try Atkins Protein Bars too.

I am a vegetarian, and I love to do lentils (cheap and high in protein) - I have found several great recipes using lentils in chilis and Soups. eggs are also good. My favorite Protein Drinks are the American Bariatrics Fruit Drinks (taste like Crystal Light or Koolaid) and the AB cappuccinos (which I mix with my coffee). Another favorite powerful Protein combo is a vanilla Greek Yogurt mixed with some PB2 - Peanut Butter Powder. Delicious and high in protein!

they are all gross! I am the same as you. It is actually the one like that almost made me not have surgery because I hate it that bad. I will see I think you would do so much better with the premixed ones. I have found one that I can drink alittle at a time. It is a premixed choc. and I put it in the freezer to get it very cold with ice sickles in it. I get a cup and pour alittle at a time so the rest can stay in the freezer and stay cold. The name is EAS myoplex original. I have the choc. and it is VERY creamy and choc taste. 17ozs and 42g Protein. It is going to be hard since you don't have the money to get something else to try.

I been suffering with Protein as well before I had surgery my doctor put me on a protein diet and I could drink the shakes no problem but since I had my surgery on may 28th I been having a hard time now I'm on pureed foods and I can't take down a shake to save my life so I been trying all kinds of stuff to get these Protein Shakes to work so this what I'm trying and it seems to work this morning I make a protein mixer that I should have 3x a day

2Scoops of 100 whey 40g

1cup of plain Greek yogurt 18g

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
