Need Help With Protein Selection!



Recommended Posts

Hiya's all. I am starting my pre op liquid diet in 2 days, and wanted to find out a good sugar free Protein shake/drink that is under 170 cals. Please! any suggestions would be appreciated! My surgery was moved to the 22nd and my surgeon said he wanted me on a full liquid diet for 10 days. Originally it was 7 days. I have not prepared myself and am going crazy!! Besides protein drinks.. what liquids did you all have for the 10 days? I am so nervous! it's finally here.. and I want to cry. lol. I am excited.. I went to smash burger as my bon voyage goodbye. lol Thanks all... you all are amazing!

bariactric advantage it is designed for WLS patients it is a bit pricey at $60 for 3lb bag but it is worth it and the bags last you a long time . it keeps you full without all the extra sugar or other fillers you don't need. it is also good if you are lactose intolerant as it can be blended with soymilk if you chose

I use the Atkins. It's convenient. I don't have to order it or mix it. The milk chocolate and mocha latte are my favorites.

      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.
