Hi. I'm new here. I hope I can get some help on Protein. I had my GS on September 28 the. I am still having problems getting my protein down. The fact that I am always full and the smell of it, I'm lucky if I get one Protein shake a day.. any suggestions on what may help or suggestions on what I can eat? Tuesday I'll will be goin on purred foods.

Try GENEPRO. It works great for me. You can add it to anything. It has no taste at all. I add my to my broth. I start Puree foods in a few days and I will add it to all my food as well. I dissolve the tablespoon in about a Tablespoon of Water and then add it to any foods.. It's amazing.

I was also sleeved on 9/28. I can no longer stomach the Protein shakes. WAY too sweet. I purchased unflavored Protein Powder (I bought the nectar brand) and have added it to diet cranberry juice and broth/soups. Also, Nectar sells a sampler pack of protein powders. Honestly I have only really liked 1 or 2 so far, but they are FAR better than the choc. Shakes. You get 23 grams in each pack and you mix it (note, they do NOT dissolve well, but it is tolerable) into 4 oz of liquid. Big protein punch for a small amount.

I am WAY under my protein goal, but try to work to 30+ a day. I probably don't hit it more than I do. I just keep trying.

The unflavored powder is a good addition though, you can add it to so many of your pureed foods.

Just keep trying.

I mix the Nectar packets with either 8 ounces of Water or 8 ounces of unsweetened almond milk, depending on the flavor. Also, I use a shaker bottle with a wire coil ball in the bottle, to make it mix better. I never have a problem with the almond milk shakes mixing, but sometimes it takes the water ones a little bit longer. I especially like the grapefruit as a change from milk-based shakes.

Where can you currently order the sample pack? There's a lot of links on google if you just search it but seem to be outdated and/or out of stock. I feel like I'm spending a fortune on protein I don't like.

Premier Protein shakes from costco. Cheap. Tastes like chocolate milk. GENEPRO too.

Go to http://www.si03.com. This is their home page. Hover your mouse over the right hand side of the page where it says "Monthly Special" and the information for ordering will appear. You have to call them and have a credit card, but it's easy to do and the package arrives pretty quickly. This protein got me through a solid month of liquids-only, and more. I ended up ordering the 2.2lb containers from luckyvitamin.com; it wasn't cheap, but I ordered a container a month until I had plenty of variety to get me through all the diets (surgery was postponed twice, so I did full liquids for 13 days the first time, 10 days the second time, and finally 14 days pre-op and another 14 days post-op) and beyond.

Thank you!!

Just ordered the nectar - asked for them to send the fruity stuff since I'm so over vanilla/choc/strawberry. Hopefully it'll arrive soon and be tasty!

My nutritionist says do what you can. But even if you keep up with the Fluid intake you should be fine. There are a ton of shakes out there try them all if you have to until you find one you like or can handle the taste of
