Protein Shakes - 2 weeks post op



Recommended Posts

Someone please help! I've tried to do the Protein Shakes but they are gross. I can't stand milk. I've never liked any kind of milk, so of course it makes the Protein shakes even worse. I bought a whole case of Premier Protein shakes and I try to force myself to drink it but because I hate it so much the very thought of it makes me nauseous. Is there any advice you can give this 2 weeks post op chick?

I use Isopure unflavored Protein in Water with crystal lite flavor packet. It still tastes like water, even with stuff in it.

There are a variety of different types of Protein shakes out there. Need to experiment to find the one that you can tolerate. Getting enough Protein is important to this process. Sometimes you can get samples of a product or buy a single/small product and try these until you find one that you can tolerate.

These flavored liquid Stevia drops will change the way your average Protein shakes taste and the flavors are all natural, calorie and sugar free! So far I've tried English toffee, pumpkin spice, chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla creme, root beer and valencia orange. They made my 2 week pre-op Optifast shakes super delish. Give them a try!

Isopure also has pre-mixed fruit flavored drinks with 40g of Protein per/bottle. They are very sweet and remind me of an extra sweet gatorade or fruit punch. Most GNC's have them in their cooler and they are buy 3 get one free. The only ones I really liked were the grape and the apple melon. I still have some in my fridge I'm thinking of making them into popcicles.

      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.
