Protein shakes

I'm having a very difficult time taking my protein shake, every time I do it makes me gag and today I gaged and threw up a little but everything else I'm relatively fine I'm only two weeks out. So odd what to do I wanna get my protein in not if I gag and though up every time.

What about making a popsicle out of it?

I had that happen with almost every powdered Protein shake I tried then I switched to Premier Protein ready made shakes. 30gr protein, 1 gram of sugar, 160 calories.

They are delicious, no grit and no foul protein taste. They even smell like chocolate milk.

My surgeons office recommended them and they work fantastic. In the first month or so I did need to thin them out a little with milk because they were heavy but by week 6/7 I was able to drink them as is.

You can get them at Sam's and costco in large bulk packs of 18. I have also found them at Walgreens in smaller packs but they are not at every Walgreens.

Chocolate is the best because it is not overly sweet but vanilla and strawberry are not bad either.

Give it a try....

Popsicle sounds good I'll try that and as for the other protein shakes I wanted to try them so I'm definitely going to pick some up at Costco thank u guys.

christine, YOu certainly do not have to drink those awful shakes. I am almost four months out and never had a shake ever. I did fine and am still doing great!!!

I am 9 months out and my surgeon told me this back week to go back on two shakes a day. I am not hungry and I am not able to get all my Protein in.

I found a milk that is high Protein and lactose free at Dillions/Kroger it's carbmaster and it's 11g Protein/8oz and I drink a glass twice a day (I add ice to keep it cold{eww gross.... get over it})

The youtube channel 7bites has an episode about "yuck in a cup" that might help you. during stage one I ate a lot of beef broth with soy protein.

Do you think you might like a Soup better? ProtiDiet makes some with 15 g Protein. I can vouch for the chicken flavored one tasting good.

I'm nine days out and I have a few shakes I've developed a taste aversion to because I've been dealing with some GI upset. Just looking at them makes me feel icky.

I make egg white shakes. If you get the liquid all whites, it doesn't do too bad, definitely better then the Protein shakes. You can look at the all whites website and they have a lot of recipes for shakes.

Have you tried the whey protein powder at Walmart they are like 20 dollars and come in different favors. I enjoyed the chocolate with fat free milk.

I ordered the hot chocolate variety pack from the BariatricPal Store and I'm three deep into it and really enjoying them. I add 8 oz of Carbmaster lactose free milk by Kroger (Dillion's in my part of the country) and it makes a 26g of Protein treat. When I get to the end of the day and realize I'm behind in my protein I make one up and enjoy while watching a tv show. I will try them all except the mint (can't stand mint for some reason but I've never tolerated it well.) So far the cinnamon is my favorite.
