 |  Protein problems
I have been only able to get about 20 grams of protein a day. I could drink whey protein before my surgey and it never botherd me. Now It makes me gag!!!!! I found some stuff in GNC that is called "liquad Protein" and it say it has 18 grams of Amino acides in 3 table spoons. Is this the same thin as protein?? I also just order atuff called ProtiDiet Protein Fruit Drink Concentrate. Has anyone used this?? Its rating are high. ProtiDiet Fruit Drink Liquid Protein Concentrates from Pro-Amino

It certainly looks legit. Give it a shot! From what the others have said, it seems like it takes a lot of trying different products to find the right ones to work for you.
If whey protein doesn't sit well with you, perhaps try soy protein? The one I drink has 14 grams of protein per serving, plus I mix it with nonfat milk powder for an extra 8g protein, plus non-fat milk for yet another 8g. I have not had my surgery yet, so I have no idea if this is something that will work for me later in the game, though.
Let us know how it goes!

I couldnt do whey after surgery either , i would ...I use Atkins premixed drinks with 15 grams of protien and then add powder milk for 8 more when i think of it lol....Atkins is made of soy...Sounds like alot of people have trouble with whey...I guess soy isnt as healthy for us , but its better than throwing up , as I told my nutristionist ...good luck , I still have problems getting the right amount of protien in , no way could i do it by just eating...good luck , hugs , Annie

I cant handle the whey protien either. I use Prostat from Bariatric advantage, I mix the one ounce with my lemonade crystal light and I think it is delicious! Tastes like a fruity lemonade. I buy the wild cherry flavor.

Looks good to me ~ I couldn't handle the shakes very long either. There used to be some protein shake on here that people went nuts over, will do a search and let you know ~ is it just not palatable or do you think you just can't handle the whey? I didn't like the shakes ~ to the point of gagging ~ but do fine with milk. I used sf carnation inst breakfast in 16 oz of skim milk and sipped it til I got it in and got a decent amount of protein that way. Are you on soft foods yet? I also eat a lot of sf cook pudding ~ chocolate, the vanilla is too rich ~ so that gives you the protein in the milk also. Then, theres my famous cottage cheese fettish ~ LOL ~ I buy the 3# size container at Sams and it lasts me about 1 week ~ later you'll be able to add fruit and that's really good. You're off to a great start! Congrats

The one I was thinking of was Achieve one or something like that ~ everybody just loved them, I never tried it, tho, anyway, I was doing a search and found this thread that looked somewhat interesting, the sugar alch in this drink would not be my friend, if you know what I mean, but still, it's good to see what others have tried and liked. Have a great weekend - here's the link http://www.renewedreflections.com/fo...ein-drink.html
