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.

      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.
