Water/Protein is a full time job



Recommended Posts

Hi yall, I'm having the issue with not getting my Protein. I am 5 days post op. I loved the Premier Protein before my sleeve, but now they make me feel sick. I went and bought Isopure today, the unflavored and it's smell alone will make you want to puke. I have no problem with drinking Water, eating sugar free Popsicles, and Jello. Im so ready for soft foods, then I wouldn't have issues with not getting my Protein. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I was the same. I liked Premier Protein before the surgery then couldn't stomach it. I ended up having to do a lot of milk although I didn't meet my goals, but I was trying. I wish I had known about protein Water when I was right out.

@@kaitlynm When you mix the syntax up, does it end up all frothy and nasty (in my opinion!) like the other Protein options, or does it end up more like a flavored Water (similar to isopure)? Thanks.

I still found it to be frothy. I suppose I could have let it settle for a few hours, but the whey flavor just drove me away from it. I'm sticking to powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, now. None of that weird taste.

I mix it up and then let it set in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. The froth all goes away then. I like it really cold as well (I now like my Water that way also). I don't taste the Protein Powder taste in it. I just taste flavored water. It does stay mixed in the refrigerator so no need to reshake it.

Hello, I use "Isopure zero carb" (creamy vanilla) and mix it with cold 1% milk. Two scoops Isopure and 8 Oz milk gives me 58 gram Protein in one haul. I use Isopure because of the high Protein content. It might work for you to. Good luck.

Be careful and don't drink all of that at once. We only metabolize about 20-25 grams of protein at a time so you would need to divide this up three ways to get benefit of all of the protein.

      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.
