LEARN A VALUABLE LESSON FROM MY MISTAKES

Hemp Protein and chia seed???

Yes, hemp is a high Fiber complete Protein. The fiber will absorb moisture & carry it into the intestine. Chia gels to accomplish the same thing, and it's packed with micronutrients & antioxidants.

Thank you for sharing your experience. These are the posts that are so helpful to folks like me who want to be completely prepared for any post-op issues that may arise. I sincerely hope you are feeling better and that things are now "moving along nicely". :D

What phase after surgery did you start to use these? Would they both be mixable into Protein shakes or how would you suggest someone use them who is on liquids only?

Or does anybody have Constipation while still on liquids? I have a fear of constipation after having the worst episode of my life about 6 months ago.

Thanks

Chia seeds you should be at least 6weeks post op before adding. I add 2 tbsp of chia to each of my Protein drinks.

Hemp is a powdering use it to make a Protein smoothie with. My recipe changes a bit from time to time, but currently it is

4oz mango purée (Naked)

8oz coconut Water

4tbsp hemp protein (Nutiva 15g)

2tbsp Nectar® fuzzy navel

1tsp KyoGreen (optional) (also tastes horrible)

      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.
