Recommended Posts

I can't stand it anymore! *A little dramatic huh :eek:*

I have tried every Protein powder and Protein liquid that I can get my hands on and they're all NASTY-I am very sensitive to gross stuff lol I cant even take cough Syrup. and after surgery it was REALLY hard for me to take liquid lortab.

I started with Proteinex liquid...It really did make me vomit it has been the nastiest so far but I got it as a free sample.

I have tried to protein powders from Walmart and GNC I just cant get over the flavor and TODAY

I bought a protein liquid its 3tablespoons at a time and you get 18g protein...I just cant do it its nasty even though it has an orange flavor.....so tell me is there just a protein pill? Now powder, no mix no shot no liquid just a pill? Thanks bunches!

I believe there is a Protein pill, but you would have to take like 6-8 pills just to get enough Protein to get by. If taste is an issue for you, you are better off getting an unflavored protein that you can mix with your food. Heres a link check it out and you just might like it.

Take a look at that some people I know really like it since you can mix it with pretty much anything.

Hi there,

Have you tried AmazeRX Protein shakes? They taste like thick milk shakes! They have only 4 flavors, chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, and Mocha chocolate for the coffee drinker who loves the flavor or coffee. You can go online at www.AmazeRX.com and check it out. YOU won't be disappointed in the taste.

I also use the Protein bullets you get from GNC stores. It has 42grams...but I go halvers and use half in the morning and the other half in the afternoon...works great and have like 4 or 5 differnt fruit flavors. I add them to my Gatorade drinks and match the flavors! AWESOME. This will give you a 'kick' at first and last about 20 seconds but it's a good thing!!!

Hope this helps!

Jude =)

All I ever see at GNC is Protein powder (vanilla and choc) like in the big huge tubs...Never seen the protein bullets. Do the bullets have good flavor or do you mix them with something?

Hi Sweetie,

It is NOT a powder. It's in a 5" colored tube. They have punch (pink tube), orange (orange tube), blue raspberry (blue tube) and grape (purple tube). It's like a real thick Jello liquid. Some people like to drink it "as is". It's too strong and powerful. It has 43g of Proteins too. So, what I do is mix HALF of the tube with either a Crystal Light drink or Gatorade, which ever my preference in what I want to drink at the moment AND I try to mix the same flavors together. Like Grape flavored protein bullet and grape flavored Gatorade. I do this one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Some have mix it with Water...I haven't tried that yet.

Hope this helps you!

Jude =)

I am trying to remember the original cost...somewhere around $3.49 each? I wait til they come on sale. I got 12 tubes for $26, include tax. They were for $2.09 each then.

Yeah, I knew the bullets werent powder I have done some search and it seems that most ppl on here like the flavor of the bullets over anything else. ITs just the GNC near my house is smaller than most and all they have is Protein Powder. I'm gonna go by there tomorrow and see if theycan order me the bullets. Thanks bunches for the info. I count my daily intake of calories, fat and Protein and my protein seems to lack some days so I just wanted something I could tolerate protein wise. and I will def give thebullets a try :D

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
