I'm on day 4 post-op I'm having problems with my Protein intake I drink the Isopure because it's 40 grams of protein in a bottle....try freezing it like a Popsicle.....Or after every sip of Isopure, sip on Water.

I walked for 5 mins today too. I'm feeling good....I shoved a box with my foot last night n that made my tummy hurt but I got some rest n I feel wayyyy better....just remember you're in a baby stage eat well in our case drink, sleep n sh*t(sorry for being crude). Stay hydrated....we got this!!

Wow, you're in a purée stage? I can only drink liquids. I have an appt on Wednesday and hopefully she will take the drain out and advances me to purée foods. I'm missing food. I'm waking all the way . Actually working from home, taking care of 2 kids.

I'll try too freeze those Isopure Proteins maybe it will work

Thanks and feel better

Isopure is definitely gross

No I'm not on puréed stage I'm on liquids still. My reference to babies is that WE are babies, we shouldn't be trying to do too much besides drink, sleep n poop...n take little walks.

Yes Isopure is gross....I also find if u shake it vigorously after every sip it makes it a but bit more palpable....not sure of it's all in my head but it works for me. So I drink one Isopure in the day n Premier Protein at night.

Yes, I was just at the 40 and was approved. They require a 40 so as long as you are thier, you're good :)

They go off of your initial weight, so even if you loose some weight that's ok, they want to see that too.

I have a big problem. I can't tolerate Protein Shakes since surgery. They are so sweet for me that it makes me sick. I don't even have 10g daily . I know it's bad for me but I can't. I tried different ones and tried freezing it. Not working.

I have dr. Appt today, if she allows me to have some food, I will buy that Protein Powder unflavored and I will add that to the food to bust my intake because I will not go far on 10g a day. I'm so blah right now, have no energy.

      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.
