I am post-sleeve a week this past Thursday. I'm having a tough time getting my 64 oz of water/liquid in but I just can't tolerate the protien drinks. I had no problem pre-op but now they just make me sick. I make it through about half of one before I get sick. I've made them with powder, ready made, thick and thin, Water, skim milk, coconut milk, plus others. Any suggestions?

They have an after taste, but Atkins and a few others make a Protein Water. If you add a couple of drops of one of those water flavor things it helps somewhat. The protein water has 20 g Protein which nice. You get your ounces and your P all at once.

Oh and I also made some Soup. I used chicken flavored bone broth (9 grams of protein and I added some of the bouillon stuff that comes in a jar for extra flavor. you can even add a little milk or cream of chicken soup to give it more texture.

Just a few ideas. I am 3 weeks out and I got tired of the Protein shakes too.

Thanks so much. I'm just really stressing over it. That's the last thing I need. Lol. What are you eating and tolerating at this point?

Well I should be pureeing food, but instead I am eating soft things and just chewing to a paste. Taking a little sip of Water at times to make it the same consistency as pureed. Getting full very fast, but getting better at slowing down. Scrambled eggs are great and so is soft chicken. And the XXX Dannon Greek yogurt is good.

Oikos has a high Protein Greek yogurt that comes in regular form and in a drinkable form. Great flavors: salted caramel, coffee, chocolate, berries, banana pudding. Lots of choices, no sugar added, low carb too. Target carries them.

Have you tried Isopure? It's flavoured Protein Water. It's whey protein, but some people I know who are sensitive to lactose are fine with this stuff. You can get at Vitamin Shoppe and Amazon, plus other places I imagine. Good luck!

I tried isopure before the surgery. I'll try it again. Maybe i will like it this time.

I got the Isopure grape drink. Its a clear liquid. I'm 3 days post op. I mix half of it with gatorade grape g2 and it gives me my ounces and Protein. You can't taste the Protein Drink just taste like gatorade.
