Looking for some words of wisdom



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone -

Yesterday was the beginning of week 2 after having the VSG with Dr. Kelly. This is what I ate today:

- V8 fruit Explosion - Individual can

- Some Water

- 1/2 cup Tomato Soup

- 1/2/ cup brocolli Soup (strained)

- Not quite a half cup of greek yogurt

- Jello

- Not quite 1/2 cup oatmeal with milk like soup

- Some Isopure - which I loath

Am I doing ok here? I am not getting enough Protein - I know that but the Protein I have although soy based and can be made with Water, tastes not the greatest unless I put part of a frozen banana in it.

Can you give me your thoughts on my diet today? Good or not, is welcome.

Thanks SO much :-)

It took me a little while before I found a Protein drink that I liked. I have an Atkins Protein shake every morning and if I feel like I haven't gotten my daily dose so to speak I have another. They are 11oz w/15gm Protein, 2net carbs. When I was 2 weeks out it took me about an hour to finish one. :) Dark chocolate is my favorite!

i also love the Atkins Protein Drinks but they took a bit before i could tolerate them. i also was not able to get enough Protein in so i focused on my Water intake. sounds like u are doing great!

I love the Premier Nutrition Protein shakes at Sam's Club or costco. They have 30 grams of Protein in 1 shake, low carb and 1 gram of sugar. They taste a lot like the Atkins shakes but have much more protein. To me, they taste like chocolate milk. I usually have 2 a day and that alone gives me 60 grams of protein. Sounds like you are doing great though, keep up the good work.

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
