Protein Intake



Recommended Posts

I am 10 days post op and I am still having a MAJOR problem with liquids let alone Protein Shakes. I have tried everything. Different brands, different ways, its almost impossible. They're too thick.. soo..what are other ways to get Protein in this early in the game? I recently bought the GNC flavorless whey protein but when I tried putting it in Water with crystal light it was the thickiest, nastiest thing ever!! Maybe I put too much? I don't know what else to dooo!! I know must of my posts have/end with the word help, but seriously, HELP! Since I'm on the full liquids week I feel hungry! So I'm assuming it's because I'm not getting my protein.. any ideas will be hugely appreciated!! Thanks!

Try putting your whey Protein in Soup. I would usually put 1/2 scoop in it. If you are able to eat yogurt, put some in that too. Both of those solutions are what helped me get my protein in for the day. I'm 15 days out and still can't drink the Protein Shakes either. I've seen where people are taking their protein shakes and freezing them like a fudgesicle. I haven't tried that one yet. Good luck!

Have you tried the Isopure clear Protein Drinks diluted with Water, or the Syntrax Nectar flavors mixed with water? They are not thick like other Protein Shakes, more like drinking juice or koolaid. I like the Syntrax nectar flavors a lot. Isopure has great numbers but I find the taste pretty horrible unless I dilute it with a lot of water or G2.

You could try mixing your Protein Powder with more Water so that it is not so thick. Also, you might want to try some of the premix shakes, some people find they taste better. Good Luck.

I use the Isopure drinks (40 grams Protein). The punch tastes just like Hi-C, but I dilute it with Water. I also crush up some ice in my ninja and add the isopure to the ice...takes on a slushy texture and the taste isn't as strong. I've had no luck with Protein shakes/powder either. I'm much to finicky.

Try GNC'S ABOUTTIME 100% WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE, vanilla. 1 scoop to 16oz will make it thin, and add a packet of 4c sugar free fruit punch

Do u have a Vitamin shoppe near you? They have the sample size single serve packets of Syntrax nectar, Jrobb& other Protein shakes.

Faster than waiting on a sampler. Also, I got the unjury sampler it was like 20- & came fast & nicely wrapped.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
