Protein Rating Spreadsheet



Recommended Posts

I'm analytical by nature, so during the run-up to my surgery last August, I devised this spreadsheet to help me with choosing the right Protein for me. At this link, you can see what I evaluated, how I rated it (ratings are at the bottom of the sheet), how each one adhered to the requirements of my hospital's program (The colored cells on the right), and my thoughts on each one. Everyone has different tastes, but this sheet helped me to keep track of what was good to me and what I wanted to stay away from. I hope some of you find this useful.

That's good stuff ... of course I immediately went to the one you said "tasted Amazing like melted ice cream" then you see all the red highlights on calories and carbs ... lol

Thanks!

      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.
