Hard To Get All My Protein And Liquids In



Recommended Posts

I am wondering if anyone has any ideas for getting enough Protein. I can't stand any Protein drinks, they make me want to vomit. I am 2-1/2 weeks post op. Trying to drink milk, and now eating some cheese, Beans. Any suggestions would help.

Also needing help with getting enough liquids in. This whole sipping the Water is really hard to get 64 ounces in during the day. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try mixing Greek yogurt with milk and some drops of mio. Easily 25gms or so protein (depends on the type of milk and yogurt)

What about crystal light in ur Water? Have u tried Soup? That counts as a part of ur 64 oz of liquid.

Are u allowed cottage cheese? Or ricotta cheese? Google high protein foods. Hope that helps

There is a German Instant whey Protein dust that is sold at NATURAL GROCERS or online at Vitamin cottage. It is absolutely tasteless and dusty. Sprinkle it on everything.

Also, powdered Peanut Butter called PB 2 (one scoop) and chocolate Unjury Protein, with 6 oz vanilla Almond Milk and 6 ice cubes in a blender is a fantastic liquid resees cup of peanut choco yum.

I also put the German Protein (6.95 for a pound) in Water with mio or with Soda Stream syrups for flat coke, dr pepper and it is pretty good. Hope this helps.

      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.
