I found a way to get my protein in! Yay!



Recommended Posts

Ok so I was struggling. I mean really struggling with getting my Protein because i cannot do the shakes. Make me vomit every time. So I ordered gene pro unflavored and tried adding it to drinks, foods etc and still couldn't do it. I could still taste it. So today I had a genius idea. (Not really genius but it is to me ) I mixed the gene pro with one small shot of a beverage of my liking. I used horchata (not the alcohol horchata). Mixed my gene pro in, held my nose and got my 30 grams of protein with one throw back of the shot glass! Didn't even taste it. So I will do that twice more today and be beyond my protein requirements.

I was doing the same thing preop, doing shots of Protein just to get it down. Now post op it sucks, cause I can't drink a few sips too close together without gas pain. I've been putting the Protein in my Jello, and just making some v8 juice with protein.

I couldn't for a while but now I can take bigger drinks. Preop I could drink the shakes and was fine with them. It's like my taste buds changed completely after surgery!

It's funny I was hoping mine would change after surgery cause I couldn't even take any type of shake at all, i was hiding the flavor in Greek yogurt. I really can't wait to be able to have yogurt again. Ha.

He said I didn't need it but I needed the discipline, I'm a GREAT cook/baker. It worked b/c now I don't even want food b/c I throw up everything :(.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
