Why can't we swallow pills whole????
Marissa C posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm still taking my blood pressure meds and I dread getting up in the morning because it means I have to crush my Losartan. It's disgusting!!!!!! I hate the daily experience! I've tried s/f pudding, s/f apple sauce..... -

Alternatives to Protein Shake in Week 1 Post-op?
Marissa C replied to snailboat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, my nutritionist recommended the s/f pudding, s/f jello, cream of wheat , and low fat creams ( mushroom, chicken) your choice. -
My surgery was 7/24 and I am currently on my liquid phase. Everything is going well but I do have a struggle with completion of my 80 g of protein a day! I totally understand the importance of protein in this vital step but I have a hard time getting all the grams in. By the end of the day, I can't stand the look of food. Anyone have any suggestions?

It was a must that I purchase whey protein and I was able to find it in Vanilla. I usually add a half scoop to my cream of wheat and it's great! -

Full liquid: cream of wheat, low fat, sugar free yogurt, sugar free pudding( any flavor), jello, any low fat cream soup, and without a doubt, low sugar whey protein. -
