Not enough protein shakes



Recommended Posts

Good morning. I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow afternoon and I am STARVING. Apparently I'm starving because I haven't been drinking enough Protein. I know we've beat this topic to death, but I swear I'm going to vomit if I drink another shake. I can't get 5 in a day. I hope it doesn't impact my surgery and I've been drinking sooo many fluids, but Protein shakes are breaking my heart.

Anyone else literally sick to their stomachs?

have you tried some of the fruit flavored Protein drinks? I can't stand Isopure, but some really like it. I like the Syntrax nectar flavors. I got some tubes from Amazon to freeze Syntrax into ice pops, that changed it up from the other Protein stuff early on. I also read somewhere that you can make pudding out of most protein powders by putting 1/2 of the recommended milk or Water in. I haven't tried that, but it would be something to mix things up. :) Before you know it you'll be post-op and then onto pureed food and there'll be no looking back!

Hmm that's a really good idea. Thanks so much!! I'll check my local GNC to see if they carry anything of the sort.

I'm not one to normally say I'm starving bc I'm very fortunate and never have been, but this liquid diet has been tough, tough. My surgeon and the bariatric nurses I had to meet with post op yesterday assured me I wouldn't be hungry in a few days. I just would anything for a taco salad from my local Mexican restaurant!

@racefightforitit told me this in response to feeling in a fog and low grade irritating headaches: @@"Miss Impala" I'm having the same issues (started last Wed 12/1 for VSG surgery 12/21) my NUT said it is withdraw from the gluten and sugar-that is why the fog. Said "after surgery you will be surprised that you felt so bad all the time but didn't realize because was your normal". I hope so!

DS performed 11/28/16. SW/HW 380 lbs.

      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.
