My Dr. Did Not give proteins until week 3 - I feel too tired



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am 8 days post Op, just starting my 2nd week but feeling very weak because my Dr's diet does not have any sort of Protein until week 3. I'v seen that alot of people are taking Protein Shakes or powder to mix since first days. Today I just could not help my self and I had a Svelty drink yogourth. I already send an e-mail to my Dr. And I am waiting for hes comments. If you can give me some advice please!!

Unjury makes a chicken broth with 20 g of Protein in it, it's actually not terrible either. They also have unflavored Protein Powder you can add to anything.

You should definitely add Protein powder even on the liquid phase you need it. The body needs protein to function. Are you sure you're reading the diet right.

It is the same as 1rst week. Clear liquids, chicken broth, posicles, gatorade, fruit juce. :(

Btw.you know clear liquids also means things like Isopure and other Protein Drinks like Protein 10..which is clear liquid but loaded with Protein. That will definitely get your energy level pack up.

. Yes, I already send an email to the clinic and the doctor. i think is not ok, also found other errors on the diets for next weeks, on the mesurements it has some oz, cup and liter!!! On 3rth week it saids: cchicken, Beans, vegetablrs, Tomato, ... But in any part it indicate that this food most be raw or cooked, on pure or peaces. It is a very dissapointing issue about the service. Sorry for my spelling. English is not my original languaje. I live in Mexico, I will look for those clear protein on GNC. Thank you!

i agree with the Isopure. even though i was allowed Protein Shakes during stage one, i preferred the isopure because i wasn't sure i could stomach creamy things at first. the isopure was like Protein packed kool aid, i would definitely recommend it.

      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.
