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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
