Protein help again

I absolutely can't find a Protein I like or that doesn't make me yucky from the awful taste....

I've tried...

Isopure-mango peach, alpine punch, grape frost by theirselves or mixed with Water

Premier Protein

Pure protein

Ensure high protein

Atkins

whey protein from Walmart

Body fortress

Lean shakes

Wheybolic60

Muscle milk

Nitrotech

A couple others from Walmart

What am I going to do? I'm still on soft foods due to a complication so at this point I have to use supplements. I keep thinking what am I going to do? I'm so struggling.

Oh and before surgery I was tolerating these fine. It's just been since surgery I'm so turned off.

Have you tried the Isopure vanilla or chocolate? The fruit flavored ones aren't good but I use vanilla/chocolate with sugar free Torani and decaf instant coffee... tastes like a frappachino

No I will though.

Also you can call Unjury they won't send free samples to you but will to your drs office or to your nut

I'm also much weaker than I used to be. I know it's due to lack of protein.

Cool thanks. I will call now.

I'm in the same boat' date=' have not found a single supplement I can stand yet. I think I might get some of the unflavored and add it to my regular foods. Has anyone else done that? Does it change the taste/texture at all?

Also I'm going to ask my nutritionist about Tropical smoothie when I see her. I went through their nutritional menu and found 3 that I may be able to do with Splenda. They can add Protein shots to them.

I love tropical smoothie cafe. I get kiwi-strawberry and add soy or whey and splenda. Whey does change the taste more than soy does.

I feel the same way. Last night I tried a protein tube and smelled it. It smelled like a** and then I took a little sip immediately gagged and then threw up. This is for the birds. I need my protein.

I've never noticed, but then again I haven't tried any since my tastes have changed. I know the soy has a lot more sodium in it, but less sugar.

I have had a lot of trouble with Protein since surgery. Liked almost all of the ones I tried pre op so wasn't anticipating the ick factor post op. however, someone on this board recommended the chocolate and vanilla with decaf coffee and that has been helping me a lot. Also, bariatrics kitchen has hot chocolate mixes that are pretty good. I have also been getting down about it though, but we can't give up. We have worked too hard to get here!

I haven't yet tried a chocolate or vanilla with coffee. Maybe that'll make it a little tolerable. Thanks for the tip.

Totally understand. I did the same thing. I made my husband try it too and he hasn't had any surgery and said that one was bad.

I found a yogurt I love. It's yoplait Greek fat free. It has 13g of Protein, only 7g of sugar(my NUT said stay under14g sugar)

It's really good and helps me get in my protein without so much of the yucky shakes and I can have it now while I'm still on soft mushies.

I still have a ways to go but making progress a little at a time.

Love them too. Key lime was a bit too tart for me and I love the vanilla.
