Sick and Tired of Protein!



Recommended Posts

Hello,

Does anybody have any good Protein recipes? I drink the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate Protein. I wanted to something top it to give it some type of flavor because I'm sick of drinking plain old chocolate. I'm 18 days post op.

Thanks

I'm still preop but I've heard a lot of people using the PB2 Peanut Butter powder and adding it or the coffee syrups just sugar free. They are by the coffee, it's Tocani or something like that I believe. Also sugar free pudding mix. These are just some things I heard in my research and my support group.

Also you may be able to find some good ideas on Pinterest if you're on there. I have a secret board that I use for sleeve info and recipes. My surgery date is 9/9. ;)

You might try some of the other Protein supplements that are far tastier.

At 2 weeks post op I changed to Premier Protein brand ready made shakes which are delicious with no Protein smell. Each has 30grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar and 160 calories.

There are tons of recipes out there to add things to them. The beauty of these shakes is so many grams in one shake. In the beginning I only had to drink 2 a day and I was at 60 grams, I then had to get 10 grams from food.

You can get then at Sam's or costco and sometimes Walgreens. Make sure they are very cold.

Also, Syntrax has grab and go hectares that you add to Water or milk, they are actually delicious. Fuzzy naval, vanilla bean torte and caribbean cooler are among my favorites. I also don't notice that horrible Protein Powder taste with these.

It is way too soon for you to be sick of protein so you need to find one that works for you.

Good luck!

      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.
