Recommended Posts

I had the same problem!!! I did however drink carnation sugar free vanilla my doctor suggested. And I can add my vanilla Protein Powder to cold coffee, milk, ice, and a sprinkle pumpkin pie spice. I also like Atkins cafe Carmel. Good luck. These have been the hardest part other than Vitamins. Can't stand them post op. Make me vomit also

I've tried a bunch at first I did one Premier Protein RTD chocolate and one Isopure, I'm struggling with Isopure these days and just actually asked if I could dilute it! Maybe try a few more kinds. I still find those Premier ready to drink feel best on my sleeve and don't have a nasty taste!

I do not have difficulty getting fluids/protein supplements down 5 weeks post op. For those that do, there is new product recently out there. At walgreens there is probalance Protein shot XL... It contains 28 grams of protein in 3 oz, which is nearly unheard of... This may benefit those who can only get small amounts . You can also goigle search item and find it.

I understand it to Bethe way the protein will break down and absorbs in your system. There is alot more to it but can't remember every thing. Designer whey and champion make very tasty

I tried a new thing today. I did 1 cup milk, 1 scoop Unjury vanilla Protein powder, 1 tsp vanilla flavoring, and 2 tbsp great value natural pb. Used a handful of ice and blended. Tastes like pb shake. Can def do this!!! And was surprised how little sugar was in pb. Less than in my premixed shakes.

      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.
