Recommended Posts

I am using Protein powder mixed with lactaid ff milk 8 oz. I FORCED myself to have it this morning. took 1.5 hrs to get it all down! I have a good liquid mtv- its cherry flavored and i gagged last night when i took my 2nd dose! I am just becoming so sensitive to all this sweet stuff! It is really makingme gag! And the last thiing I want to do is Puk! Today is Post Op day # 5, Last night again, I had gas pain that would not move down & out! Not until 7:30 this morning! And I did walk around last night trying to help it along its way. Could not finish my last Protein Drink last night, even the chix broth with unflavored pp is horrible! I am going to look for the Protein Shots, at least it will be small amounts. Although i do need the Calcium provided by the milk. Who know's, like I said I am having a talk with my Dr. today at my follow up. Thanks for all the input fellow bandsters.

I am 10 days post op and also am sick of the sweetness of Protein Drinks. I have tried Carnation Istant BF and they are a bit milder in taste. Actually can tolerate them pretty well. I mix powder with 1 cup of FF milk and it totals 15 g. Protein. Put ice in blender and tastes kind of like a milkshake....not too sweet. Hope this helps. CAT

Thanks Cat, I actually went to dr and they told me to try Isopure. i stopped and got some, they are not too bad, "to me" it is a welcomed taste when diluted with Water. Not overwhelmingly sweet at all and no milk base!! I actually have some Carnation IBF, I will try that also. Thanks for the input.

I gotta say I am liking the sound of taking Protein shots. Where can I find "Liquid Protein" Justmermp? This would be a great way to sneak in some Protein on days when I need a little extra.

I picked them up at the Vitamin Shoppe. They come is various brands and flavors.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
