I can not consume any Protein Shake or bar. They simply make me sick. I mix 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup skim milk, and some sort of Water mix packet. That equals about 38-40 grams of Protein. My nutritionist said my homemade concoction is perfectly fine.

I am 3 months out and have not been able to stomach any sort of Protein. I just got some of the Isopure ready to drink and they are tolerable. Still not something you jump up and run to the fridge for but tolerable. The blue raspberry is the most tolerable.

Hi, I have found that lean, thinly shaved ham is easy to eat as a snack and boosts the protien intake. I am 5 weeks out from surgery and can't stomach eggs still. Does anyone else have a problem with eggs, I used to have them regularly ( pre-op).

I have no problem with eggs.. Pasta tho, as a meal is an issue. I've only tried it once ( with chicken and mushrooms) and it was a no go!

      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.
