Need Protein Help - Fluids Stage



Recommended Posts

Hey All, Just call me lazy and that is the reason for this post. I am living in Norway and have no access to Isopure Protein Drinks, so I am lacking a bit on the Protein side. I have been told not to worry so much about Vitamins and protein during this stage, but then others have said otherwise. I did find a chicken Soup recipe I used last night that helped some I believe. Can I continue to just liquify chicken and fish and make Soups of them?

I had Type II Diabetes and have not seen a sign of it post op. AMEN! But, I do not want to drink to much milk in those Protein Shakes for the same reason. I was wanting to know if anyone had any ideas for me. Be creative, I love to cook, so anything would help.

Appreciate comments,

Rob:confused1:

Hey there, I'm pretty new at this myself so I don't have any wonderfully creative ideas for you but can you get Protein powders and what not? I have several different brands and I mix them all with Water. I cannot tolerate isopure...I think it's disgusting. I've taken to calling it isopuke...picked that up from tiffykins! lol

Also do they sell the Hood Carb Countdown Milk where you live? I use that to mix in my creamed Soups for added Protein as well.

Also greek yogurt has a lot of protein in it.

What was your surgery date?

Hey there, GoodLife =D Thanks for your response - I do have access to protein shakes here and I am drinking on as we speak. From what I understand for every deciliter(100ml) I get 10g protein. I have to intake 1.5dl everyday, and more if I can sip past it :tongue_smilie:. I just bought the lactose free milk here and it has just 3.3g protein per 100ml. I did try a chicken Soup recipe that was actually really good. Here lemme share

30oz of Rotissere chicken

1c milk

-I added soy sauce for flavour YUM!

Anyway, I do have to explore other drinks and food I can liquify on Monday when the stores open again.

My surgery date was the 10th of May, so tomorrow is my first weeks weigh in...I am very excited.

I sent you a friendship invitation - Check my ticker for my next weight. Gonna update it to what it was when I was admitted last Sunday so it is current, and then I will update it tomorrow. What time zone are you in?

      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.
