Bariatric food products



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I was just sleeved on 8/17. I bought a couple of food items from a bariatric store to try them. One was a cream of broccoli Soup and I bought two boxes of bariatric hot chocolate. I also bought unflavored Protein - Syntrax nectar. The Soup was gross. Maybe if I made it with chicken broth instead of Water it could possibly be good. The cocoa was pretty good but it's expensive.

My question is - could I just buy a SF cocoa I like and add the unflavored Protein powder to it? Anyone else do this? Any other tips or tricks for getting in enough Protein and not breaking the bank? The Syntrax Nectar was the least expensive unflavored protein option at the store and I had heard good things about it on the board here. 40 servings for $18.95

I add 2tbs sf Jello pudding mix to my unflavored Protein and it tastes just like chocolate milk

Use real cocoa recipes and sub stevia for the sugar. Make with fairlife milk. Real food is more satisfying and better for you.

Just be careful about the temperatures when adding Protein Powder to hot cocoa, Soup, etc. Most Protein powders will curdle if you put them in a liquid over 130F, so using a food thermometer is critical. You can also try mixing the protein powder separately with lukewarm Water into a kind of slurry, and then stirring that into the hotter liquid. That sometimes prevents curdling.

      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.
