Ten days post op...help!

[Wendi1988 22]

Hi everyone! I am roughly ten days post op and in need of some advice and/or encouraging words to push me through these last days of the full liquid diet. I'm growing so tired of Protein Drinks, carnation instant Breakfast, broth and Jello. Please tell me there are some other things I can eat that I haven't thought of!

I liked the ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates, Syntrax Nectars (especially fuzzy navel), GNC lean shake 25 (orange cream is my favorite), as well as ProtiDiet creamy chicken and Tomato basil Soups, and v8 for something savory.

Just keep pushing through it! Those first two months on restricted foods is bad, but you will get through it and it will be a distant memory. I'm 5 months out and now barely remember those stages. I was allowed sugar free pudding and watered down cream of wheat on my liquid stage. They helped me get through.

sugar free popsicles!

Oh gosh, I'm so glad to see someone else post this! I'm getting pretty sick of the things I'm eating. The Protein Shakes make me want to vomit. I'm pushing through, but geez!

Try some sugar free flavored syrups (like Torani or DaVinci) to add to your shakes. Try some savory broths like Swanson's Tortilla Soup broth (saved my life - a little spicy so Water down and just try a little to see how you react). sugar free Popsicle's for sure! Freeze your Protein shake and eat Luke ice cream? Check out Www.the worldaccordingToeggface.com for some shake ideas too. Mostly just hang in there. You are almost there! You made it this far and you can totally do a few more days! I believe in you! ???? I agree that at 9 months out and 130 pounds down, I don't even remember those days. You got this*

I am about the same number of days out and thinking the same thing! I may have to change up the shakes a bit this weekend with some different flavors. Going to push thru, but man what I wouldn't give for a bite of chicken :-)

Soup. You can whirl them in the blender to eliminate the chunks, but Andersen's split pea soup doesn't have any and I love it. You can add unflavored Protein Powder to it.

Ugh I feel the same way! The premiere Protein shakes are gross to me now. Like I had my last one day before yesterday the taste of it just got really eggy/milky like. I hate it too because I bought a bunch...what other Protein Shakes can i try. I was thinking pure Protein or Kellogg shakes even tho I would have to drink more to get in the right amount of protein. Idk. I just don't want another Premier Protein. It was good for the preop and a little bit of post of but now I need something else. Sorry to seem like I'm complaining, I am just a little frustrated because I want food. Lol

Watch for sugar content in the shakes. Kellogg shakes have 18gms of sugar with only 10gms Protein. Way too high in sugar. You have to read labels. I bought some protein Water that wasn't too bad - no fat or sugar. 9gms protein so you'd need to drink more.

Oh wow didn't know they had that much sugar. I never looked into them I just seen them on the shelve at Walmart. I think I will try the protein Water if I can find that at walmart today. Thanks

Another rule of thumb I go by is 10 cal per gram of protein. Every company is on the protein supplement craze and finding a good source can be troubling.

A drink or bar with 10 grams of protein shouldn't be more than 100 calories
