20 grams of Protein



Recommended Posts

I love my Protein Shakes. I make "mocca frappes" :) coffee, chocolate Protein Powder and ice and blend. I've lost 68lbs in almost 3months, my hair is so very long and thick, unlike presurgery, and my skin is amazingly clear, again, unlike pre-surgery. There's no way I could get my Protein in without it. None. I can't eat more than a few tablespoons at a time or I'll puke. shakes are the only thing besides Soup that don't make me ill.

I was warned that blending things would put to much air in the drink and cause gas pain. Have you had any issues???

I have not had any issues with gas pain since week 2. I am three months out now. I told my doctor how I blended to make it palatable and he said it sounded delicious, lol :) I first had a Protein Shake (or whatever they call it) at Starbucks and it was weird but okay tasting and i, thought, I can improve on that! And I did...best thing I ever "figured out" because I can't stand that powder! Try it on a weekend! ;) That way, if you do get gas, shhh, no, one will know!!!????

      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.
