Alrighty everybody I need some advice! I had my surgery June 27th and have been struggling to get all my Protein in. I loved the premier shakes pre op but can't stand them now. So I bought some unflavored Isopure powder yesterday. Tried to add a scoop of it to my mashed potatoes tonight but I did something wrong and it came out horrible lol. So what is the best way to get all the protein in? Or some of the best foods to add the powder too?

Unflavored powder in sugar free pudding was the only way I could really stand it. Add a little at a time to make sure you're not making the flavor/texture too unbearable to consume! Also I bought the Isopure rtd in fruit flavors and bought corresponding Powerade zero flavors. I'd mix some Powerade in with the Protein Drink to make it have less of an after taste

The GENEPRO has been helpful to me. It's flavorless and you get a lot of Protein for a small scoop. I bought it on Amazon.< /p>

I was gonna buy some GENEPRO but I keep seeing bad reviews about it too.. Then the lady at gmc suggest the Isopure powder. The only thing I've managed to do that I can drink so far is mix it with some Water and put a squirt of watermelon flavoring in it. But still, I would like to find a much easier solution.

Ooh I tried that in mashed potatoes as well big mistake. I like unflavored in Water (with lime) or broth so far. Trying it in brewed iced tea later this weekend.

I also could not stomach some of my shakes post op. It took a week or two to get back to some. PB2 powder helps.

I love love love (right now) powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken flavor.

Also I got the unjury starter pack to try some flavors. It is a personal think I only like their chicken and unflavored and I am not even trying strawberry because that is not my thing.

I have 4 individual packs of 3 flavors. If anyone interested DM me and I can drop in envelope to you!

Ps: I tried GENEPRO and their company site and story are just too bizarre but to each their own!

I was drinking Isopure but it was making me sick then my NUT told me to dilute it with water.... Much better ! Also okios Greek yogurt triple zero has a lot of protein- lived on the Vanella - still do. Another tip is Iso 100 Protein Powder - very high Protein low sugar and carbs mixed with 25 calorie almond milk...delish I get it at the Vitamin shop.

      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.
