I think I've posted about this topic a couple of times hahaha

I get premier Protein shakes and mix them into my coffee

I've also started mixing unflavored Protein into my coffee along with half a shake

5.5 oz Premier Protein + 1 tbsp GENEPRO protein = 45g protein!

I mix the two Proteins with some milk or Creamer and and then add my coffee while stirring so the hot coffee doesn't clump up the protein

there will be people here that will tell you that GENEPRO protein isn't real protein, but I talked to my doctor and they said that it's fine. I'm a scientist myself, and I went on their website, and read some literature, and their protein extraction process makes sense to me.

The genepro dissolves very easily, so I like it! I also try to eat around 20-30g more protein than my minimum so that even if I misjudge the amount of protein in something I eat or drink, I'll still be getting what I need.

another option is powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury protein which people seem to like.

I mix my chocolate splendor Unjury shake with a shot of Decaf espresso and either almond or soy milk. No reason you can't use decaf coffee instead of espresso. It's delicious!

Is coffee ok after 5 days post op RYN !

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My plan allows coffee the first week post-op, but only Decaf. We begin full liquids immediately after surgery, though, and not everyone does. I'd check your surgeon's recommendations or ask your NUT.

      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.
