Vegan protein!



Recommended Posts

I'm not actually vegan, but have found that after surgery I am lactose intolerant. This makes it very hard to get my Protein in while in liquid diet stage!

I need some help! My doctor has extended my liquid diet for a couple more weeks because of other complications. But I am not getting any protein in because I can't keep down any dairy products!

Also, so far the only things I can keep down are frozen/very cold liquids.

Any suggestions? I have tried Soup, and other warm drinks with vegan Protein powder, because of the temp, it won't stay down. And the frozen things won't desolve the Protein Powder. Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

Hummus? I ate a lot of that at first.

You could try liquid Protein instead of the powders and shakes. Liquid Protein mixes well hot or cold. I used Prosource unflavored but others like the GENEPRO and unjury unflavored Proteins.

Where did you find the pro source liquid Protein?

I found one called New whey it's hard to get down because it's kind if thick but my nutritionist told me to mix it with my Water. One tube of that is 42g. I haven't tried that yet but I might try it tomorrow and post a little review.

There are a few places to get it online. Here's a link to the unflavored variety. I was given the Prosource no carb in the orange creme flavor in the hospital. They gave me a few packs to take home. I would mix it with 6 ounces of herbal tea. It is very viscous, but mixes well in teas and Soups.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
