Jen35 283 Posted May 31, 2013 Pre-op I liked the Premiere Protein from Sams, Atkins shakes, GNC Lean shakes. I'm 10 days post-op and it has been so hard to get my Protein in. They don't taste good to me and I can't get in all the fluids. I recommend post-op, Sunkist Protein Shots. There are 2.5 oz shots with 24 grams protein and 3.2 oz shots with 42 grams protein. A little pricey but I think it's worth it. They come in orange, grape and fruit punch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jen35 283 Posted May 31, 2013 I had 1 week pre-op diet and I'm 10 days out and I've lost 25 pounds. So far so good! The first week is realy hard, so just be prepared. I only stayed one night in the hospital, but I should have stayed another night just for the adjustable bed and the good drugs . I'm still in some pain but not bad. I take pain meds at night just to get comfortable, but I plan to stop that soon. No nausea or vomiting (thank God!), my hospital gave me a patch behind my ear, nausea meds and a pressure point wrist thing so I'm sure that helped. They do that proactively so never felt sick. I'm on full liquids now and can move to soft foods in 4 days. Doing well, just get tired easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jen35 283 Posted May 31, 2013 I found them at Dierbergs (high end grocery store). Here is the company website: http://www.sunkistprotein.com/index.html You can find them on Amazon too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't get in all the Protein I need in a day so maybe these will help. I'm just tired of the sweetness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jen35 283 Posted May 31, 2013 The Sunkist are sweet but tart at the same time. I'm not saying that they are yummy - but they aren't milk based and I don't have to force down as much to get the same Protein content. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamingofhealth 223 Posted May 31, 2013 Does anyone ever take a RTD shake and blend it with say banana and ice and make a smoothie? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malq1990 170 Posted May 31, 2013 I use Unjury. They sell it at my drs office but I know you can order it online. I like it because they have an unflavored one. It really is unflavored. I can mix it with anything and never can taste it. Plus it's specifically for bariatric patients. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malq1990 170 Posted May 31, 2013 I've also been doing Muscle Milk which I really like and the Dannon Oikos Greek yogurt has 12g of Protein in 1 serving Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
