Am i prepared enough?!

[gastricsleever 259]

As of right now, I have tasted many Protein shakes. If I have time to mix one and add ice and other things to it, I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. I've used the vanilla and chocolate and don't mind the taste. For on the go, I like the Premier Protein which is already mixed and I really like the taste of those. I also have a case of Isopure ready to drink juices. Ive been reading the things ppl say after surgery, like that they can't stand the Taste of Protein drinks afterwards or that they get sick of the same old Protein Drinks.

So my question is am I prepared enough?! Should I have more of a variety? I haven't tasted the Unjury chicken Soup or used the Unjury unflavored Protein mix (I have sample packets of those) but I'm wondering if i should buy a container of chicken Soup or unflavored protein to add to my "stock" so I am better prepared?

Tips or thoughts? What other foods have you bought for post-op? For any of you that are post-op, did you buy any things for post-op that u didn't end up eating?

Sorry for all the question. Getting nervous as my date approaches lol

You sound more prepared than I was! I had only premiers on hand for Protein Shakes afterwards.. I am not a picky eater, never was so I just drank them because I was supposed to and well I kinda liked them!

Lots of different broths (I preferred home made) But for me the biggest thing I had on hand those first weeks, was every kind of liquid I could think of.. Powerade zero, Water drops and powders of every kind and lots of different warm teas.

How do you get sample of Protein?

You are prepared!

I had tons of samples I bought while pre op. I had gotten sample variety packs of Syntrax, unjury and bariataric choice.

Post op, it's really a shot in the dark as far as what you'll tolerate.

Myself, I lived off of sugar free popsicles, Unjury chicken soup(it's clear stage friendly), and propel zero in the first 3 weeks.

I'm 10 weeks and I just placed another order for variety packs and got a 2nd unjury chicken Soup jug. I still can really only tolerate the propel zero for a calorie free beverage. I am still supplementing with the Protein shakes at least once per day.

I wasn't cleared for Protein Shakes until week 3..so finding Clear liquids to keep me hydrated and fully was key early on.

Good luck, you'll do great!

With the broths and drinks that didn't have protein- did u add unflavored Protein to them? For the first 1-3 weeks, was the main focus getting liquids in, getting protein in or both?

I went to Nashua nutrition- they sell sample sizes for $2 each. I bought like 20 sample packets to see what I liked. I ended up liking Premier Protein the best because it requires no mixing and they are ready to drink and they weren't expensive.

Where can you get the Unjury Protein mix? Sounds like something I should have on hand to make sure I get enough protein

You can get a few flavors on Amazon or direct from the company at unjury.com

So I added 1/2 scoop of the Unjury chicken broth Protein Powder to a bowl of chicken veggie Soup I made for dinner. At first I though I ruined all my nice organic veggies because the soup looked cloudy. I thought it would be pasty and "proteiny" BUT it wasn't!!! It was good! It just tasted like I added some chicken bullion to my soup. Yeah!

I tried the vanilla, chocolate splendor and unflavored. So far they are all very good. I think the chocolate is my favorite chocolate Protein Shake. I added unflavored to watered down OJ and didn't taste it. I'm on my pre-op diet so I can still play a little with options. So far I'm a huge fan of Unjury. I ordered right from their website.
