Day 5 and i HATE protein!!!

Oh man that protein coffe sounds DELISH right about now...

PS -- you look amazing! Congrats!

I too have struggled with protein.  In fact I posted my frustration about a week ago and got lots of great suggestions.

I hated them all as well.  I tried UnJury flavorless and the chicken broth.  They were fantastic and I have gotten in over 90 grams of protein in a day.  The only shake I liked was the Adkins Advantage Mocha Latte.   I added a scoop of UnJury flavorless to it and boosted it to 35 G per 12 oz.  The soup was 21 G so it has been a breeze getting in the protein.

I ordered the Unjury Strawberry Sorbet and added it to Crystal Light Pink Lemonade (I hate Crystal Light too) and it turned out to be really good.  Thin in texture and not gritty and thick.

I swear by UnJury, I went almost 3 weeks getting in less than 40 grams a day because I could not choke down the protein.

I wish you all the luck in the world, you will be fine, just keep trying until you find something you like.  I was so frustrated a week ago I could pull my hair out, but it may just fall out from the lack of protein. Hopefully I have gotten enough in to avoid it.

I totally agree. I find the protein drinks horrific. Whey, soy, clear -- they all disgust me. I have choked down a few and I know I need to keep trying but I just don't like them. Right now I've switched to pure protein bars. They're small and have 20g protein and low sugar alcohols. I'd just rather eat my protein than drink it. I know its probably too soon for you, but its a thought for the future!

Oh, I forgot to mention one protein food I like that is good for new post-ops which is Muscle Milk N Oats flavored oatmeal. It actually tastes good and not too protein-y at all!

I think i was having a REALLY bad day yesterday and had a minor melt down. Thank you all for being so supportive! I LOVE this board Thank you all!!!!!


~ My nut/doc both HIGHLY reco supplements but all i could find at the local Lindberg Nutrition store were powders/bullets and i really really REALLY hate them. I just may psych myself up and do the shot glass every 10 mins thing...

~ I never thought about adding them to water. I may try that today and just sip sip sip...

~ I also never tried the soup - i get so sick of sweet that i just dont want anything at all and i know thats bad... Going to vitalady right now to order some samples....

~ Thanks also for the reco on the cereal! I can't wait to actually CHEW something! 

I feel the same way about protien, at first my goal was to get 1 bottle of Isopure a day (40g).  I broke it down into 4oz servings at a time. Grape is my fav.  Now I put vanilla flavored protien powder in a cup of coffee in the morning, and still drink 8 oz Isopure in the eve I do that when i exercise because I am really thirsty then.   Hope this helps, Dawn
