Mushy diet- I hate water and protein shake



Recommended Posts

Crystal light saved me! I actually love Water but have been surprised how little I drink. I switched to Crystal Light and can power through so much more water now. The Protein shakes--just keep trying different flavors until you find a good one. I did find that the vanilla mixed with pineapple juice tastes like a Pina Colada but we're really not supposed to have juice. but, it does help with getting the protein in

I could not stand my Protein drink I used pre-surgery and immediately following surgery (Shaklee). I now use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and Inspire which are not chalky and have good flavor but are on the sweeter side so I mix with coffee and milk.

Why does it have to be Crystal Light?

I will try very hard to get at least one premiere Pro Tien strawberries and cream drink down, it gives you 30 g of Protein. You can get unflavored Protein powder and mix it with cream-based Soup or broth to get additional Protien. If you're using crystal light with your Water you should dilute it, because although it is sugarfree, according to my dock too much is not good, it should be diluted. Flavored waters that you do yourself with fresh rosemary fresh meant lemons and cucumbers is very good. You could purchase one of those nice drink dispensers and do something different each day and drink on it. Get your Vitamins and your Protein in every day with a total of at least 64 ounces of Fluid, so important.

@@Fettchick83 It doesn't HAVE to be Crystal Light. I'm only saying what I am doing. There are many other similar options.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
