The dreaded protein shakes and bars



Recommended Posts

I've just been doing lots of Soup (Gardenay), apple juice, and yogurt along with Vitamins and clacium supplements. I am hoping that the yogurt will cover my Protein needs. Speaking of that, I bought some low-fat sour cream dill dip today. I figure I can do with a break from tzatziki. I am starting to look forward to a week from today when it will be mushie time!

Whoah! Did it really take you that long?

I just got unflavoured and chocolate, I think... maybe a strawberry sherbert. 20g of Protein per serving, right? Did you get unflavoured? Is it really unflavoured? Is it gritty?

I ordered and got it in about a week and a half. May depend on location. There are lots of recipes on the site, I have posted them here not long ago.

Thanks for all the info.

The Ensure does need to be very chilled. My nutritionist advised me to try it after I had many others that caused problems or simply tasted like rust in a can. I have never tried any of the others mentioned but will give them a shot now. This is why I love this site, you get lots of ideas.

Thanks again all!

Hi diane .how are you feeling?Welcome to bandland. Fill us in on your experience.

I go in tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. and I will certainly let everyone know how it goes. Right now I am gonna fit one more Protein shake in before midnight (ugh) After we can put a banana in there or something right? I will have to check with the doc. Not looking for anything to complicate things...

Talk to you all tomorrow from bandland!

      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.
