Less Than 2 Weeks Out!

[newfmom 7]

I am scheduled for May 25th in Concord, NC. I am not required to do the liquid diet pre-op but I have been trying to figure out which Protein powders I can tolerate. I have tried the Unjury and that really bothered my stomach. I have also tried several of the premixed shakes and they made me sick. The only one that I seem to be able to tolerate is the muscle milk. I used the banana cream one and added berries. What other protein sources have people used during their liquid only phase? I will meet with my nutritionist at two weeks post op so I know they will help me with the transition to soft foods. I am very nervous about the surgery but I know that this is my best shot at getting my weight under control. Keep me in your prayers!

Fage Greek yogurt counts as a liquid and has 23 Protein grams per cup. It can be mixed with no sugar added fruit juice. I don't eat a cup at a time, but spread it out over the day.

Not sure which pre-mixed ones you've tried. But EAS both the AdvantEDGE (17gms) and MyoPlex Lite (20gms) are very good. But my favorite is Premier (30gms).

Good luck!

I second Nancy with Premier Protein - it is my husbands and my favorite by a long stretch - we also use a lot of nectar when the mood for other flavors strikes. You can get it at costco. Best of luck - my own VSG is on the 21st.
