kyw78 1 Posted April 18, 2015 I am 4 days post-op. I know I need the Protein but I am getting so tired of the shakes. Are there any alternatives I can have to get my protein in throughout the day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluesclues 49 Posted April 18, 2015 Protein Powder in Soup or add unflavored powder to water/drinks...too soon and you can't eat anything otherwise could have added pp to food and etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teachamy 1,042 Posted April 18, 2015 I hear ya! Keep the faith, this too shall pass. Meanwhile, I agree with adding unflavored or vanilla Protein powder to whatever you consume. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanyonBaby 1,852 Posted April 18, 2015 Try adding unflavored Protein powder to cold Water, then add Water Enhancer drops to your taste. You can adjust the sweetness level. Also, Try adding the unflavored powder to V8, or Clamato (watch the serving size of the juice, though - carb alert!!!), and also to broth and Soups. MUCH better than shakes!

kyw78 1 Posted April 18, 2015 Thanks so much everyone who replied. I'm taking it one hour at a time at this point. I'm going to go to the store right now for Soup and unflavored Protein powder. I know it will make such a big difference. I'm very excited for my journey and I can't wait to see the big results. Good luck to all that are also on this journey to health!!

CanyonBaby 1,852 Posted April 18, 2015 @@kyw78 If you can't find unflavored Protein powder at the store, search for it on Amazon.com. They have several options. Good luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephanie Stroup McIntosh 157 Posted April 22, 2015 At 4 days post op, your options are limited. Maybe try to switch up the flavors of your shakes. Its important that you have some that you like. Bariatric Eating has a Pure unflavored Protein powder that you can mix into anything that you are able to have at this point. powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury had a chicken Soup flavor Protein Powder as well. Be cautious not to advance to new foods until you are at that stage. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
