Recommended Posts

So any tips are welcome!!!

I'm having an issue getting Water and Protein in. I can manage one or the other but then one gets left out. I know both are crucial so any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having trouble with my Water also, what I have been doing is adding unjury unflavored Protein powder to a 20oz Powerade zero. Then I drink bottled water to get the rest of my fluids in for the day.

I didn't think about adding the unflavored to my propel that is a great idea! Do u like the Unjury unflavored? I got a sample of Matrix and Jay Robb to try.

I haven't tried any of the other's the unjury unflavored has 20 grams Protein per scoop & seems to be ok. If you can find something that gives you more like what Jenaenae84 suggested you might try it.

Do yall think only 2 weeks off for surgery is not enough for a person with a manual labor job? My surgeon thinks 2 weeks is plenty but I don't think he really understands when I say I have a physically demanding job. I work an hour from home

Thank you everyone for the tips. I have an unflavored Protein from trader joes. I'm going to have to start adding that to flavored waters or broths.

I agree I don't think 2 weeks is enough for a labor intense job. I am still pretty store and I had surgery Wednesday. I just went to Walmart and I am so tired.

I don't think I'd be ready in 2 weeks apparently your dr never worked hard

I couldn't do it! Not with a physically demanding job. I'm having trouble getting a walk in every day & I'm 17 days out. I think at least 3 weeks. Best of luck to you!

      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.
