Thanks! What is the SF torani?
yes, powdered peanut butter is a life saver.
Okay so you're a month out are you on soft food diet?? because you could do tuna fish which is high in protein too, the thing is you don't have to just do the powders, I personally cannot tolerate the smell of the powder when it makes me sick. The ready to drink I stick to is premier (only the chocolate) and they're 30 grams of protein I drink one of those a day and make my own shakes I use the Oikos triple zero yogurt if you get the tub it has 22 grams of protein for a cup (which might be a lot for you right now) but even half a cup is good and then you can add either unflavored unjury or vanilla to the yogurt for a boost! Peanut butter is a good hider in that it hides the gross flavor haha. It has been my best friend. You can always use the SF Torani too to hide the flavor of powders. Unjury is the only powder I can tolerate too so you're not alone!!
Good luck!
I am considering bariatric surgery and the thought of having to drink milk and protein shakes makes me want to gag already. I can't stand the taste of milk. And while once every year or two I might enjoy a chocolate malted frappe (milk shake for those not in New England). I don't crave milk shakes nor enjoy any other than chocolate ones.
How can I make Turkey, Beef, Pork or Chicken stew flavored protein shakes? I LOVE the flavor of meats. I can see myself making a stew of some form that is high in protein, then running it through a blender.
But if I find out that after surgery I have to live on protein powder and milk, I won't go down this path because I won't be able to get this stuff down.

I actually had a hard time with bariatric specific vitamins, and use regular vitamins instead. Might be worth trying.

Yes, the brand of capsules and the chewable's I've taken have both been bariatric brands recommended by my surgeon and his team. I don't know if they might be too strong? or I may just be sensitive. No, I don't have any discomfort like I said I have to have food in my stomach and then take the vitamin then eat right afterward or I get sick :/ it's annoying haha. I only use a little water just to get the capsule down my throat but not enough to cause discomfort.
Are you taking bariatric specific vitamins? I have found I tolerate them better. I am taking capsules as well because I couldn't tolerate the chewable ones.
Are you having any discomfort taking them in the middle of your meal, other than the adding liquid when you eat? If not, I would keep on that track for a while and then try switching it up again.
Good luck!
hi all,
I am a month, well almost, post VGS. I am having major problems getting enough protein and liquid a day. The powders break my mouth out and the pre made shakes make me vomit. Isopure does too- plus it dries my mouth. I've tried unjury and it seems to be the best. I can sometimes tolerate a 4-6 oz shake but that only gets me 20g of protein.
I spent 10 days in the hospital post-op because of major complications. I really don't want to be readmitted for dehydration. It seems like I can go one day and do great on my steps/exercise goal but the next day I am knocked out. I know it is because of the protein and water.
Any suggestions from other newbies or veterans? I really want to be successful.
Thanks!
I'm not sure if this is best fit here but have any of you had issues with vitamins? Mine tend to make me sick at least if I don't eat solid with it. And its weird I have to eat then take it then eat some more or I will get sick too. I switched from chewables to capsules because the taste of the chewable was awful and made me sick as a dog. X.x any advice??
Thanks!
I was told that we need Isolate whey protein, and not any of the time release ones. I've put protein in oatmeal, yogurts, pudding but I mainly just drink it in my coffee..
Many Blessings
