I can't be the only one that can't stomach protein!



Recommended Posts

I don't use Protein Shakes or bars, I try to get my Protein from food. I felt very sick when I was using protein shakes and bars for 9 months. Try cottage cheese, nuts any kind, Beans, avocado, eggs, cheese, meat, fish. eat often stay away for artificial protein.

My surgeon says the same. Our program requires Proteins from real food as well.

I couldn't do the shakes either. I try to do as much meat/beans as possible and I do carnation shakes with Fairlife milk so I get Protein in two ways. Also, egg white shakes are ok, the All Whites website has a bunch of Protein heavy shake recipes.

I was on Protein Shakes and Proteins bars for 9 months, the first 2/3 months are hard but don't try anything that is not in your diet plan, if get stuck you can cause many problems. I know it's hard but until your doctor ok any solid foods don't try.

Try different kinds of protein until you find what you like. At that stage is normal to feel nauseated, Premier Protein chocolate what I used. I tried the protein waters and was terrible to me. Keep trying just make sure on sugar content. And sugar alcohol. Make lentil Soup and drink the soup of it or blend it. Split peas soup, they are pretty easy to make

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
