I'm so sick of these damn protein shakes! I'm SICK OF THEM.

Hang in there. It does get better.

Try a few variations, if you're allowed. Ask fruit, yogurt, cinnamon.....

If you can stand Splenda, you should try the Isopure....comes in a lot of different flavors, and sold at GNC (if you have any GNC stores around you). In the meantime, it really does get better...for real!

So don't drink them,

How far out are you? I gave them up at about 5 weeks post op. No need to drink them if you are getting plenty of Protein organically. I would rather eat than be dependent on powder and chemicals.

@@Mrs.Fox which Protein shakes are you using? Have you tried sampling any others? Post op Protein shake trials are like starting all over again. There are so many flavors and brands even types out there, there has to be one that is at least tolerable to you.

Good luck!

I have tried like 10 different brands. They just smell awful and the after taste is gross! I'm continually drinking them bc I know I have to. I'm almost 5 weeks out & I can only eat little bits of food at a time. (Like 2-3 bites) and I'm totally full. I'm lactose intolerant, so all the Protein rich cheeses really irritate my stomach.

I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be sleeved, however at this point I'm feeling like I'm stuck in between a rock & a hard place.

Thank you all for listening

Well it does get better, do your smoothies with the unflavored protein powder! I do understand!

I know exactly how you feel trust me. All the protein powders made me sick after surgery. I had to literally gag them down. I did find however that I can tolerate Ensure High Protein. There's 210 calories and 25g of protein in a 14 oz bottle so when I was at your stage I still had to split it up. Drink half and then finish it by the end of the day. I still can't drink the full bottle at one sitting but I can do it with in a couple hour period. I substitute it for my breakfast every morning. You can also try the unflavored powder mixed in with a smoothie, scrambled egg, soup, etc. Hang in there though it'll get better I promise. I'm 3 1/2 months out and finally enjoying my sleeve
