HELP! Hating all protein shakes



Recommended Posts

I got to a point where I could not stomach shakes anymore. I think it was a combination of the sickening flavor and the thickness. I ended up switching to Atkins Lean Protein Water, it comes in 3 flavors and isn't bad. Gives 20 grams per bottle. I'm now 16 weeks out and my NUT wants me off of supplements if possible so I have been drinking Fairlife milk. I try and drink 16 ounces a day.

Unjury unflavored Protein powder! I add it to everything rather than doing shakes. Iced tea, sugar free pudding, crystal lite, milk, you name it!

Thank you all! I haven't done any meat yet. I'm not really sure how to do cook it that is is not dry and the thought of puréed meat turns my stomach. How are you preparing it?

pureed meat is so gross .. so I ate eggs .. lots of eggs. the first month is horrible but I remember it breaking the cycle of living to eating vs eating to live.

I did have ground beef in a skillet .. brown it up and put a piece of cheese on top! Just remember to take your time eating and chewing very, very well.

Oh shoot, did I remember to reply??

I have more answers now, at least.

- canned tuna (add Greek yogurt and make it even higher protein)

-rotisserie chicken (sadly only moist enough the day you buy it, but this is the meat my stomach likes best)

-stewed chicken (fall apart soft, cooked low and slow like in a crock pot)

-finely ground beef (I've been having this with my fam on tostada nights, but remember to chew especially well.) I had some with my Beans in a pinch at Taco Bell too

-meatball Soups. Our Tia makes aboldigas with big 3oz meatballs, and they are fall apart tender.

-fish steamed in foil or parchment paper packets

avoid until later:

fried

baked (unless in a packet with liquid)

dried (jerkey)

sauteed

steak, lamb, pork

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
