Hello all,

I am having trouble getting my protein in. I have 3 weeks out from gastric bypass. I am back at work and I feel ok for now, but worried about in the long run. I can't seem to stomach my protein shakes at all. I have a few others on the way to try, but it's like they hit my stomach so hard. I also can only get about 40oz of water in as well. Any tips? Thank you!

Also, I only just ordered the sample variety pack of single-serving Syntex nectar protein powder and I was amazed at how good the "non-creamy" fruit flavors are. It mixes easily and achieves the consistency of Water or crystal lite. Only six grams of protein per serving, but could at least be a boost to what you're already taking in.

Apologies for two errors in my previous post. First, the name of the product is Syntax (not Syntex); and second, it has 23-24 grams of protein per serving (my food logging app was registering 1/4 packet for some reason!).

I have not tried those, I have tried the Protein 2.0 and the premier clear. They actually make me thirstier. I have Quest on the way to try those. I am doing yogurt, but I worry since I can't eat the whole thing that I'm still lacking in protein. Even putting the flavorless in foods, when I don't finish it, am I really getting much protein?

I have tried those two clear ones, Premier Protein, and the protein shots. Like I said, I have quest on the way, but it seems most protein hits my stomach really hard. Should I try another type of protein?

Thanks!

I use Quest they are awesome the use dehydrated banana strawberry peanut in there different flavors instead of artificial flavors. Love the 100 calories and it’s more filling for me then the other brands.
