Help!

So I'm 23 days out and I'm still on the puréed diet until wedensday. I'd really appreciate if someone could give me an idea on what their sched is like when it comes to eating/ drinking and how they manage to get in all their Protein and drinking for one day. Thanks!

I'm only four days out but I found that low carb chocolate Isopure powder takes away the pressure of getting all the Protein in. 50gms a serving. I don't mind the taste at all.

Oh, bless you--small constant sips for Fluid. Keep a beverage with you all the time and sip like a fiend. I never managed to get in all the Protein I was supposed to, but folks do--have you looked at the pureed food suggestions on this forum? People make mashed-up chicken and egg salad and all kinds of protein-rich foods. I know I ate a lot of yogurt and a lot of smushed-up cottage cheese during mushies, plus refried Beans with melted cheese--that seemed SO decadent at the time, after a couple of weeks of liquids! Hang in there--it gets a lot easier once your options expand. :-)

Wow 50 grams of Protein? I'm def going to have to try that. I have the Unjury protein and some other Protein Drink from GNC which makes me gag but both only have like 25 grams. Can't see myself drinking 2 of them

if you add a cup of milk to your shake it has about 9 grams of Protein.< /p>

I also found that Isopure is the best option for me. I have a hard time with some of the powdered mixes but the RTU Isopure is a juice more than a shake. Some of the flavors are not so great, but compared to my other choices I'll take it! Getting that much protein in with one drink is much more easier than trying to keep track of how many scoops you've used in a day.

Can we have milk during the early stages?

[colebort 18]

Yeah I agree. Especially since the portions are so tiny you really aren't getting in that much Protein from one scrambled egg

I was allowed to have any liquid that's able to go through a straw my first 2 weeks home. At first it did bother my stomach and I told my doctor that but he said try again so I did and now I can handle it

[alex&zsmom 33]

Ooh! Milk would be awesome with the chocolate Isopure powder. Yay! I didn't like the bottled kool-aide drinks from them, for me they were too concentrated.

My doctor has us doing Clear Liquids the first week, then liquids that will go through a strainer the next two weeks. My sleeve date is 8/28 but I have been doing the Isopure RTD & tried almost all the flavors. So far I only "like" Blue Raspberry" & "Grape Frost".

Ever since my surgery I find that anything blue raspberry is the only flavor juice type drink that I love I'll have to try that one

Blue Raspberry and Grape Frost are my favorites as well. My first order of Isopure RTD was a variety case. This gve me the chance to taste all of them and decide what I liked the best before I placed my next order.
