Serious protein issues

I can't get all of my protein in. I can get all of my water in, but I seem to hate the protein and it makes me sick. I know that you can add extracts to the vanilla, but what kind? I maybe get 30-50 grams of protein a day and I'm supposed to be at 85.

Hi Diane Have you tried mixing vanilla protein to orange flavored Crystal Light? That is pretty much the only way I can tolerate the protein. Good luck! Brenda

hi diane: i use the meal replacement bars from south beach when i'm low on protein for the day or need to have a really quick meal. they taste like rice krispie bars to me. i've also made protein shakes with anywhey, skim milk, cocoa, coffee, and splenda. they taste alot like a starbucks cappachino to me. when i have my morning oatmeal i add nuts and use skim milk to make it. in that way i sneak in about ten extra protein grams just a few ideas, diane. i don't know if they'll help you, but thought i'd share. good luck dorthe

Have you tried the flavorless protein powder? I read people using that because they can mix a scoop in with anything. I believe it's made by unjury at www.unjury.com ~Ellen

Thanks ladies. I can't have very much yet only proteins and liquids. I can have some soups. Dr upgraded me to mashed potatoes to help with the nausea. I'm going to order the unjury today. I think it would be the best bet for me.

I have a big tub of Vanilla protein powder that I'm not too crazy about. I buy the chocolate carb countdown milk and mix it in that, and it's pretty good! Nice and thick too. Good luck, I know you'll feel better soon. It gets better each week. Much love, Carol V

Diane, Sorry to hear you have protein problems! I had them too... My surgeon suggested that since I had a hard time with the shakes that I try the nectars.. He gave me a couple samples of them to try.. He suggested mixing a scoop of roadside lemonade with crystal lite and WOW! It was actually good to me! I love it.. But I also drink the lemon tea nectar, fuzzy navel mixed with orange crystal lite, and I have a cherry and grape protein that taste like kool-ade to me! You might give those a try.. I got all mine from bariatriceating.com, but they have them in most vitamin shops... I dont think I have any samples left but if I do then Ill email you to get your address and send them to you.. No use spending money on a jug of protein if you dont know if you will like it.. Ill check on that in a couple hours and email you.. Amber
