Yuck to Protien
I am having such a hard time getting my protein in. It was hard before surgery but I thought because I could add different things to it now it would be easier. No such luck. My friends who haven't had WLS say chug it. I so wish I could. One glass done and over with. I miss drinking water that way too. I used to drink 8 oz at a time. I really think alot of it is in my head now. It hurt to take sips in the beginning and I kinda hold everything in my mouth and let it slowly go down. Not good when you hate protein shakes. Any suggestions on how to get over myself. I need the protein my energy has really crashed and I hate being so tired.

Here's my tips:
Ice, milk, protein powder, blender. Use at least four ice cubes and only 8 ounces of milk. Put it all together in the blender and it comes out like a thick milkshake or slushee. It stays cold and it tastes much better than any other combo I tried.
If you like coffee, throw some coffee in there and decrease the milk to about 2 ounces. Then you've got a mocha frappacino drink (if you use chocolate protein powder)
Mix your powder into a sugar free pudding or a yogurt. Half a scoop is usually about 10grams of protein and you can hide it well in those.
I have found that ice cold is always best, no matter what you're putting it in, keep it icy cold and it will taste much better.
I also never make mine with water. Gross.
And don't buy the pre-made ones. They're disgusting. Use the powder and make your own. Then you can control the flavor.
I never liked the "juice" kind and have always preferred the basics like chocolate, banana, and berry mixed with milk and ice.
Lots of people buy the Unjury unflavored stuff and put it in lots of different things. I never had to do that because I found what I liked and stuck to it.
Good luck and don't give up! You'll be really sorry when your hair is falling out in handfuls from lack of protein if you don't force yourself to get it in.
Thanks for the ideas. I will keep trying different things. Half a scoop with milk strawberries and banana went down okay today. I haven't tried it with yogurt yet. I'll give it a go tomorrow. I kinda like my hair. LOL
