Can't handle protein shakes

2 weeks out of gastric sleeve and I cannot get any type of protein shake to my mouth without being ready to vomit. Using milk for protein right now. Any ideas?

    I don't drink any protein shakes but i do drink fair life milk every morning and it helps me get that extra protein in.

    Try diluting oikos triple zero yogurt with milk and add a scoop of protein powder. Mix it and eat with a spoon like yogurt.

I agree make your own light ones real light ones

For example

3 oz Almond Milk - 1/2 scoop Protien Powder - a flavor (5 blueberrys) or a teaspoon of Peanut butter - Then add ice and blend it in a nutra bullet.

Really sip it slow -

If you can find Shamrock Farms protein shakes by you I highly recommend them! I was in the same boat as you and these ones don't taste like protein shakes at all!

Unjury readymade is the only thing I can handle. Order it and you can thank me later. I had massive anxiety about finding a shake I could tolerate.

I had the same problem. I would try the unflavored protein or yogurt :) Good luck!

Agree with Brent 701. Unjury is not as sickening sweet as others. Their Protein Chicken broth is decent and they also carry a unflavored protein powder. I use some of the ready to drink chocolate and vanilla, and flavored powders mix with Fairlife per RD. Hope this helps. Unjury.com

GNC carries clear protein drinks from Isopure. I tried several and found the Green Tea the most palatable. A couple other flavors I tried were Fruit Punch and Berry. I use these for my protein instead of the powder or shakes. It also counts to your daily liquid intake. It takes 1-1/2 bottles a day to meet the 60 gram protein requirement.

I am going through the same. Was fine with shakes with my sleeve but can’t handle them after my revision to bypass.

I use fairlife milk (13 gma protein) unjury chicken broth (21 gma protein) and bone broth (10 grams protein) to get my protein in.

Hang in there and good luck.

Meal replacement shakes are still an option even after surgery. Since most of them seem to be soooooo sweet, I typically water them down.

I bought the genepro at the suggestion of my daughter but have not used it yet. So far I am able to get the premier shakes down but think I will need something when I go to 1 shake a day in a few weeks.

I hope I was able to help some of you with suggesting genepro its a life savor also as i am 20 days post op gasteric sleeve i am able to almost drink normally slow but normal mouth filled fluids im happy to see symptoms subsiding and also for pain the stomach pain is about gone . I hope this helps some who are just getting started to know the positivity of the surgery is not far from the day of surgery meaning all bad symptoms nausea etc will subside .i also reccomend if ypu ha e stomach discomfort weakness feeling bad just go to er and get IV fluids to hydrate you dehydration xan cause stomach discomfort nausea etc .. dont be affraid to walk in tell dr you just had surgery your not getting enough fluid intake need some support they will give you as you recover .. good luck everyone
