One week post-op

[tanya131313 5]

I had surgery April 23. I started the two week liquid diet on April 9. I weighed 274. As of today, I weigh 248. I am having a hard time getting my Protein in. Everything made of powder taste nasty. I have tried Unjury and Isopure. The only thing I can drink is Premier Protein shakes. Any suggestions?

Premier Protein is all I use for supplements. Are you able to get through a whole one in a day? In those beginning weeks it is not easy to get to the Protein goal but as everyday goes by it gets easier.

You might also try drinking fair life milk, it has a lot of protein in it and I remember drinking 3 8 oz. glasses on top of my one Protein shake per day. The reason I was only able to get that one drink down was because I had to split it into 3 servings and add fair life skim milk to thin it out a little.

I was able to meet the minimums most days in the beginning.

I promise it will get better.

Hi @@tanya131313 have you tried liquid Isopure with ice to dilute it and add a packet of crystal lite fruit punch?? I have a whole msg I posted earlier this evening on the GB forum about this topic. I too couldn't take in Protein until I did this trick. It helps. I now get ally protein in. I use the alpine punch isopure drink.

When on clear liquid I used a lot of ProtiDiet liquid concentrate. They are 15 G Protein per packet and I put them over a little bit of crushed ice to make a slushee.

I have been struggling to get my Protein in too. I found a bariatric blog tonight that had some Protein Shake recipes on it. I am trying one right now called Cinnamon French Toast. I changed it slightly and have another change I will make when I do it again, but it is pretty good. It doesnt have that protein shake taste.
