Need Help With Pre And Postop Protein Ideas



Recommended Posts

My surgery is July 2nd and I'm starting my preop diet. I purchased unflavored Unjury and ready made Muscle Milk Light. I tried the muscle milk by itself and it wasn't bad. Then I tried the Unjury in skim milk and it was BEYOND NASTY! I wanted to vomit hours afterward, it was so nasty with the milk. I had an idea to mix it with the chocolate Muscle Milk Light, and it was doable, but that is not something I feel is feasible...to buy two Protein products and combine them. Any other suggestions I can try? Any thoughts would be welcome. Thank you.

I am doing Atkins for my pre-op diet' date=' the chocolate was good, haven't tried the vanilla yet. Hope its just as good.[/quote']

I like the vanilla as well as the choc. It reminds me of a very thin McDonald's shake. I bought strawberry tonite. Will try it tonite

I used Pure Protein 100% whey Frosty chocolate from Target. Whatever it is that you buy, don't buy too much of it for after surgery. Taste buds change. What you like now, you may hate after surgery. It's weird, but true. I'm tolerating the Pure Protein again, when it made me gag after surgery. For the Clear stage (after surgery) Isopure from GNC is 40 grams a bottle. At first you won't be getting that much protein in, the most important thing you will need is waters.

premier from costco

Another vote for Premier at Costco. I have the vanilla and they aren't bad as far as Protein Shakes go.

      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.
