Six days post op and protein shakes are killing me



Recommended Posts

I make a Protein Drink with a chocolate powder (two scoops 40 grams Protein 12 oz of skim milk 10 grams protein) twice daily. I don't think I can stand it much longer. Its not that its nasty its just the flavor stays with me for awhile and I am just about to try anything as a change. Suggestions?

I bought the Syntrax Nectar fuzzy navel this evening. It's a clear fruit drink mixed with Water. I think it's pretty good. Also the premier already made shakes are pretty good.

Also, try ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates. They come in fruit flavors and are more like crystal light than the milky shakes.< /p>

@ Inner surfer girl, have you tried any of the other ProtiDiet products? If so which are your favorites?

I like the ProtiDiet creamy chicken and Tomato basil Soups. I pretty much lived on them during my liquid phases.

I have some of the pudding but prefer the WonderSlim dark chocolate pudding. I've been making it with PB2.

I tried those Isopure drinks bcuz I was tired of the milky drinks #yuck it was so awful and then I started feeling like I was getting a coat of something thick on my tongue! I discontinued those immediately! I make myself drink the pure Protein I just blend it with a Greek yogurt! I am sick of them but I can tolerate it better with the Greek yogurt blended inside and served over some ice! Good luck in finding a protein that works for you! I think next week I may order the unflavored injury protein?

I received my (small) jar of unflavored unjury Protein in the mail today (that stuff is too expensive to use every day!!). At this point Soups, cream soups or broth has absolutely no appeal to me. This evening after finishing my second Protein Drink it was all I could do to keep it down. I am going to go back to my literature given to me by the doctor and review it regarding this again.

I'm in love with the Syntrax Nectar Ice Tea. I mix it Water and drink it 3 times a day with ice. It. Taste just like a refreshing yummy ice tea. I also can't stand the taste or smell of the chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry mixes. I have also tried the fuzzy naval and it's like a orange juice in the morning, it's good to, but the ice tea is delish, even my kids like it.

I'm excited to try the ProtiDiet products! Thanks for posting about them! I hadn't heard of them & I'm 3 days past surgery and finding I don't like any of the stuff I used to. I used to love creamy, rich, milky protien shakes... Now I want clear & light stuff like crystal light. So this might be the perfect way for me to get my protien. I'm having trouble taking in more than 1.5-1.75 ounces at a time. And since the thick stuff isn't going down well, maybe this will help me get my protien!

      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... :(
