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

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
