I Would Like Opinion On What To Buy For Protein?



Recommended Posts

I went to see my family Doctor and she said my sugar is low, anemia, the Calcium and Protein is low. They gave me medication and a machine to check my sugar level. So far I have lost 20 pounds but i feel very weak i am also in the liquid diet. I have not change to pureed. I feel sick to my stomach with any protein I have change different flavor and nothing. What should I do?

I had good luck with unjury when everything else made me sick right after surgery. Also, Fage 0 Greek Yogurt has 23 grams of Protein per cup. You can thin it with Water to make a smoothie. I like it blended with splenda, orange juice, and a couple of strawberries. When I was early out, I could only eat 1/4 to 1/2 cup max, but every little bit of Protein helps.

I too am an unjury fan. I love it. They have a chicken Soup flavor that is really good and helped me through my liquid stage. The unflavored mixes well and has very little aftertaste. Im having some in my coffee as we "speak".

I like the Premier Protein shakes. I am 5 weeks out and still have one every morning. I like the taste and it has 30 grams of protein! :D

I also love the Premier Protein shakes. Tastes like chocolate milk, so not a thick consistency, and I can get them at costco. I'm 4 days post op and I can get through 1 whole shake a day, 2 oz at a time

I like the Gold Standard Optimum that's found in GNC. The vanilla is great. I mix it with different flavors of the sugar free Jello mix. If I use vanilla jello, it tastes like a vanilla Carnation instant Breakfast. With the vanilla, you can make a ton of different flavor shakes depending on the jello/pudding powder mixes. Good luck!

I also love the Gold Standard Optimum Vanilla, but right after surgery it didn't set well with me. I didn't tolerate it well till about 2 weeks out.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
