Liquid diet aftertaste hell.



Recommended Posts

So I have 2 weeks of liquid diet and I am having a hard time. The smell of the shakes is a killer and the after taste is worse. I am having a banana creme muscle milk for lunch. The lady at Vitamin Shoppe said it was her favorite. I guess I need suggestions of stuff with little to no after taste. Does that even exist? Or are there Protein pulls I could take instead? Thanks.

I started yesterday and my shakes made me so sick. I had the Bariatric Advantage vanilla. I tried the Premier Protein this morning and it wasn't bad at all. We'll get through this!

I looooooooooove my Protein shakes and they have no aftertaste. I get them from a local store called sugar free and More but you can get them online here:

My absolute favourite is Peanut Butter. French vanilla, chocolate Fudge Brownie, and Cappuccino are also quite good. A serving has 24g of Protein, 5g of fibre, and 3g net carb. Also, 0g of sugar.

It mixes very well with Water if you have one of those magic shaker bottles you can get from GNC or any place that sells protein powder: http://i.pgcdn.com/pi/72/81/70/728170488_260.jpg

One Protein Shake with virtually no after taste that I found was "Core Power". I tried the vanilla flavor. The shake is very simple in its taste which I like because some others feel like there's just so much stuff in them. I found it in a convenience store but have not found it in a store to buy yet. I looked up the price online and found it on Amazon...it's just a little pricey. It'll depend if you can afford it but it is good!

I always vite for the Syntrax Nectars. You can get them online at Amazon, bjs bariatrics & my bariatric pantry. But my fav place to buy is Vitamin shoppe website or in store. If instore always ask that they price match their own online price $4 cheaper here!

I love the roadside lemonaide. Im pre op & mix a full 20oz of Water w/ 1 scoop of mix then add whatever mio or sf syrups I desire to change up the flavor. Its never the same same bc i use the lemonaide base to make combos.

I also like the fuzzy navel w/ Water.

For milk based I use the vanilla torte & sf smores Torani Syrup in a blender to make a delish shake.

I was using Body Fortress chocolate Peanut Butter before surgery & then decided to try the Body Fortress whey isolate as it has less carbs. I added some Torani SF Syrup for some different flavors. But now, after surgery… yuk! Even mixing the two sits like a rock. I've gone to unflavored Protein Powder & mix it with Crystal Light/Great Value drink mix or zero-calorie flavored water or add the SF syrups. 2+ more weeks of this Clear Liquids & 3 Protein Shakes a day is daunting.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
