What Are People Drinking On High Protein Full Liquids/pureed Stage



Recommended Posts

My nutritionist told me to look for Protein Shakes that we're high in Protein and very low in carbs and sugar. The shake I chose has a full 60 grams of protein in it and only 1 gram of sugar and 5 grams of carbs. I take that in the morning and then the rest of the day I have broth or sugar free Jello, apple sauce, things like that but only at "meal times". And then of course fill up on my Water intake too! It's a lot to fit it all in but that high Protein Shake is way easier than having to drink 3 separate shakes a day for same protein amount!

What kind of Protein Shake do you get LexFl? What is the serving size and how does it taste?

It's called Pro Complex. 2 scoops of Protein Powder for 8-12 oz of Water or skim/1% milk. I got the rich milk chocolate flavor. It tastes a good deal like chocolate milk but not sickeningly sweet like some shakes were. And not chalky at all. Definitely the best tasting of all the ones I tried leading up to this one

My dr told me to stay away from carnation instant breakfast.

I wonder why? Most licensed nutritionists recommend it because you can use fresh milk/soymilk/rice milk/ lactose free milk. Its easier on the digestive system than most Protein drinks. I wonder what evidence he has that it is bad? Just wondering.

I'm still going to try it though after hearing other people bc I'm having a hard time getting Protein in. What flavor is good ladies?

Part of my post op diet is drinking 1 cup of carnation instant breakfast in between my "meals". I get the chocolate. Its not too bad but I find it very filling.

I love the strawberry flavor. If you have king soopers they sell the variety pack. Most stores will order it for you. Good luck that stage is the hardest.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
