Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  10 days out - problem with protein Guys - I'm really struggling with getting the protein requirement down me. I'm still on the full liquid diet. I cannot stand the smell or taste of protein powders/bullets/drinks. Truthfully, they are making me gag. I even have a problem with the so called unflavoured stuff - I add that to my soup. I'm supposed to do a minimum of 60g a day. All I can manage is 50-55g and that's with me pinching my nose and heaving with every sip. Getting my liquid in is no problem - just the protein. Anyone have any suggestions?

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   | Early out, I used Syntrax NECTAR (I love the peach and strawberry/kiwi)...I just mixed it with water. It has 23 grams of protein. I know several on here use Prostat, but I'm now personally hooked on PROFECT bullets. They aren't as thick as NEW WHEY bullets (which have 45 grams of protein, 1/2 of which, our bodies don't absorb). The PROFECT has 25 grams a bullet, and they come in about 12 different flavors. It's about 2 swallows and it's done! (2.9 ounces) I know the prostat has 15 grams of protein per ounce! I'm sure others will be along with suggestions! |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | I'm sorry, I don't have any suggestions. I did like the whey protein from Walmart...body Fortress is the name I think. I mixed it with chocolate lite soy milk and I LOVED it. Now, I've tried other kinds, but not really fond of them. I did have a chocolate chip cookie dough one from somewhere and it was SOOOOOO good. But I don't remember where that came from. It was a free sample. With you being this early out, it will be a little hard. Once you can start eating regular foods, you can use foods with protein to help out. I know there are sugar free syrups that people use too. I just never found any other flavor than hazelnut, which is "ok" to me. I did buy some sf chocolate syrup. Maybe that can help hide the taste? |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Kath, Chilly - thank you. I'm embarassed to tell you just how many tubs of protein I have in the cupboard - they are all SOOOOOOOOO sweet. Even the Syntrax Nectar Cappuccino - which everyone seemed to like - tastes nasty. The one thing I have never had is a sweet tooth. This is really beginning to upset me now. Honestly, I'm holding my nose and doing everything I can to get them down me but I know I'm heading for some serious heaving afterwards. Strained soups are no problem UNTIL I add some unflavoured protein to them. The whole taste, smell and texture changes.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | hmmm. early out my surgeon had me focus on getting in the fluids. it wasnt for weeks that i could actually get any protein in. MONTHS until i could get in all 64 ozs. im not saying dont try, but theres just no way you could get it all in at only 10 days out. also i have been using unjury unflavored protein and either hersheys sf syrup OR hood calorie countdown chocolate milk and i swer you cannot tell the protein powder is even mixed in. might be worth a shot. they sell individual packets so you can try it before buying a whole tub...be careful with it though. you are not supposed to add it to things that are hotter than 130. i dont use it in anything hotter than hot tap water (if that helps) chin up. it gets easier

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I too can not stand any of the protien stuff. I have hundreds of dollars of bullits, Unjury, Designer Whey, etc. that I can not gut. I use Carnation Instant Breakfast to fill in as needed. My doc does not want me watching calories yet, just worry about getting in my protein. So I drink how many it takes to fill in. Good Luck

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Yes Chilly - the level of sweetness is a huge problem. I'm British - been here 6 years now but I have never gotten used to just how sweet everything is over here. I'm doing well on the liquids - I'll just have to keep pushing the protein as best I can.
