I'm 9 days post op, and in the full liquid stage! Struggling getting enough Protein in, and trying not to eat anything normal. (I've had a few bites of things and its gone down fine, but I really want to stick to the rules) I have Protein powder, but it tastes so nasty!

Any ideas?!

It is unflavored, but there's just something about it that is gross.

I guess I need to find a different kind, but then again, I don't want up go broke trying different kinds that I don't like.

I took bean Soups, and split pea soups, and like that. Add enough Water to liquefy and blend well. It was good and tasted like real food.< /p>

The unjury unflavore is awesome! Out is truly unflavored. . .it does make clear liquid slightly opaque, but out does not alter taste, texture our snell of food! I LOVE IT! shakes are a problem for me, but the Unjury Brand unflavored and chicken Soup are really great got meals and add ins. . . If you want just a shake, the Syntrax Nectars in Double Stuffed Cookie is just plain awesome. . .it rates just like a Cookies and cream shake when mixed with fat free vanilla Silk! Good luck with your proteins!

Post op I didn't have any Protein shakes they made me gag. I stuck to liquids by making my own nutritional Soups and blending them till they were the right consistency. I'm five months post op and when I see Protein powders, shakes etc even on a supermarket shelf they turn my stomach. A month on them pre op was all I could handle.

It's still early days if you don't get in all you're protein requirements it's ok that will come with solid foods.

Try adding cottage cheese to things. I have added it to my Soup and blended it. Jut add some more liquid if it isn't runny enough.

Last night I baked some apples with out the skins and with cinnamon. I blended them with almond milk and cottage cheese and it was a nice break from soup.

My doctors also allows cream of wheat, just really runny.

I was really just trying to think of some food ideas outside of the box. Had some apples on hand and was getting tired of Soups.

I have also taken Greek yogurt, almond milk, and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate Protein powder and mixed that together.

If your doctor told you full liquids please stay on that diet. Yes it sucks but many of us have been there. I highly recommend smoooth Tomato Soup or squash Soup that's been blended. For Tomato soup I added non salt Mrs dash flavorings before heating it really helped the flavor . Blended apples or Greek yogurt are a mushy not a liquid ! And yes I know how difficult it is because I was not allowed mushys until date 15.

Not to be rude, but as I stated in my post, everything was blended to to a runny liquid state using Water or almond milk. My doctor is the one who suggested to use Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. As long as you can drink it through a straw, it is allowed on a full liquid diet. But I don't use a straw.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
