Help Pls - 3 Days Post Op, I Need Help With Protein



Recommended Posts

I loved GNC Lean shakes pre-op... But my tastes changed post op and I didn't like sweet anymore and only wanted savory.

For the first week post-op I lived on good, homemade, jewish-deli chicken Soup broth. The REAL stuff, with dill and chicken, not something from a can. There was something about the salt and the fat that my body just absorbed like a sponge.

okay spoke to the surgeons office and I am good if I want to throw in Optifast. She also suggested egg white Protein? no smell or taste and to supplement Soups with cottage cheese (in a blender). I have put some powder in my drink and it is okay and not to worry if I am not hungry, don't force it. So I do feel better and will experiment with smoothies today.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
