Does anyone drink Protein water as part of your water intake? I drink it now (I'm a vegan so protein is a must for me while pre-op preparing and on starch free before surgery). I'm feeling like this is a no brainer way to get protein and water in...am I missing something? -
Surviving the liquid diet
doingitforme18 replied to sharonred's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try Protein Water!! I found Protein20 is a great one with 15 g of protein, 0 g sugar and 60 calories. It's really helping me and is quite tasty. I found it on Amazon. -

My doc only requires 2 days of clear liquids pre-surgery but 3 weeks of no starches....I'm a dietary Vegan so it's challenging. I'm on day 1 of no starches -

NuGo Slim - Vegan Protein Bars
doingitforme18 replied to Little Green's topic in Vegetarian or Vegan Eating
Hi, I'm searching for non-dairy protein bars and can't find any with this brand. Any other ideas? -
Hello, I am trying to prepare for surgery and am having trouble finding protein powders that are non-dairy and include isolates, which my nutritionist recommends. Does anyone have any suggestions?
-
I do not eat meat or dairy and have been concerned about this since starting the process.. I"m really going ot have to change what I'm eating after surgery, I've been told not to eat many starches at all, which includes beans I have found non-dairy protein shakes and bars but don't want to only eat this for the rest of my life lol

Thanks for sharing great ideas!!

I feel very fortunate to only have 2 days of liquid diet for pre-op....3 weeks of no starches, though. Hang in there!! -

My nutritionist says to decrease starches post surgery, which is mainly what I eat as a vegan

I am very interested in reading your post. I am a non-dairy/no meat eater so I'm trying to plan best for post-surgery. It's hard without beans and rice, etc.

Vegan protein?
doingitforme18 replied to Real California April's topic in Vegetarian or Vegan Eating
I'm so excited to read your posts!! I am a non-dairy vegetarian and have been worried about protein consumption post-surgery. Now I get most from beans, quinoa, rice, and veggies. I have been searching for Protein powders that fit the nutritional guidance given by my nutritionist and it's tricky. What can you share about isolates?
