I can't do the Protein Drinks.. I can't stand the taste at all Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am excited to be started the next phase tomorrow and I am looking for suggestions on what foods we can puree.. My list only has a few examples Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I can't do the Protein so I need this next phase to help get me through.. My list is short too but it's just suggesting it say so my plan is to try and sprinkle protein into the puree it won't be the recommended amount but any is better then none.. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's both the taste and consistently.. The only way I have been able to get any in is with the unjury unflavored in diet Snapple but I can't sip it all day I will have to look into that be nector protein! Thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my sleeve done 04/7/16 and I am 1 wk post op today. I was never a thirsty person pre op so I am having a real hard time with the Protein and Fluid intake.. I feel like I am drowning protein is the hardest for me. I have tried it many different ways and can't seem to stomach it because it's just disgusting. Any suggestions?!? Also since surgery I have had this weird feeling in my throat like it's swollen.. I can drink fine but it's sore and annoying!! Anyone struggle with that?

Thank you everyone!!! Kranky813 my dr also told me he is more concerned about me getting fluids and not dehydrating vs the Protein.. I just can't wait to be able to eat a meal with my family again oh and get rid of this feeling in my darn throat! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgery was April 7th, I just came home yesterday and I am having a problem getting as much Protein or liquids that they recommend. I have awful pains that feel like my stomach is trying to growl and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I had lapband in 2010 and had it removed in February 2016. I remember having a hard time with protein just because I don't like it but can't remember if it felt the same.

I was also Sleeved April 7th.. How are things going? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am 7 days post op and I am questioning myself too.. I don't know how much longer I can take this.. The Protein is disgusting no matter how I try to mix it and I'm having trouble getting it in just because I don't like it. I can drink Water, broth and eat Jello fine it's the nasty protein.. I ask myself everyday so far why I did this any suggestions how else to get my protein in?!? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That isn't everyone's instructions. I was explicitly allowed Premier Protein during my clear phase. Getting in my protein and fluids were both my surgeon's priorities. To the OP, just keep sipping and working at it. It will get easier. Are you taking a PPI? What is PPI? My dr told me to focus on getting any kind of Fluid in for the first few days to avoid dehydration.. The protein I just can't stomach because it is disgusting. Just can't wait to be on baby like food lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I guess it could be gas pains didn't think of that Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

From what I was told by my dr and nutritionist as of 04/9 I should be on stage 2 Protein shakes for 7 days which is low sugar protein shakes and other sugar free drinks, Jello, pops and broth Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was banded on 07/01 and everything has been going great until recently. I am down 55 which is great but the last couple weeks I haven't been getting that full feeling, I stopped losing weight and things are getting stuck.. somedays I am able to eat more than I should but the next day the if I eat the same thing it will get stuck, I thought maybe I wasn't paying attention and not chewing but its been with everything even soup ! I feel like my dr doesn't listen to me he just comes in fills and leaves I am so frustrated and just need some options... thanks

Thanks... I really thought i needed to be unfilled ! I thought that when you stop losing weight its a sign that your too full.. i will call my dr today and try and get in... thanks again for your response means alot :thumbup:

Hello, anyone have aetna who has been approved ? I am currently finishing my 3 month dietician diet and was given an approval from the pychologist. I am really nervous because i think aetna sucks, anything i should do or expect when i finally submit the paper work?:frown:

I just wondering how many days you waited or.where told to wait... I was told 10 days but I still have the sterile strips on and I don't want any issues...... but it is the hotest summer new England has had in years and I wanna swim

Why do they make you do sugar free during the pre-op diets ? I am just wondering because some of the stuff on the list does have sugar and some don't. I wanted to drink a decaf coffee with sugar or should i use splenda ?

I am sooooo sorry thank u for explanation but I meant post op I had surgery on July 1st.... sorry again for all that typing

Is there anyone else out here that just could not what so ever meet the protein requirements ? These protein shakes are nasty and I just can't drink as much as they as me too and frankly after 8 days I am soo sick of them. I am completely starving and dont know what to do :thumbup: i am eating the jello and pops and nothing is helping! I was banded on July 1st :thumbup:

What is the name of the shot ? I have a Vitamin Shoppe here i will have to check it out. Thank you everyone for your great idea's and support !

I was just banded on july 1st so I havent had a fill yet, but to me it sounds like you got a good fill. As far as drinking i am not a big drinker so i also have problems with that, not sure if that has to do with your fill.. Congrats and keep up the good work!

I am super super picky thats my problem... I tried EAS i didnt care for them, i tried about 3 other types and finally got unflavored powder and mixed it with diet snapple but i can only get 2 in a day which is 40g of protein. I dont like cheese, but am drinking chicken broth which has a small amount of protein, i am just so frustrated when i try to just deal with the protein i want to vomit.. have you tried the protein water is it good ?

I was just wondering what everyone had done for the pureed diet i start mine on friday. I do have problems with the protein i just cant drink as much as they tell me so my protein intake has been low, but they also tell me not to drink if i cant. Never thought i would be excitied for pureed food so just needs some ideas !! Thanks :confused:
