Protein intake



Recommended Posts

Please tell me what is everybody eating as far as Protein, not including Protein shakes? I'm 6-7 weeks post op and I'm having problems getting it in. Everything is really too sweet for and it stinks. I'm nauseous.

My go to meal lately has been half an avocado with a soft poached egg on top and a pinch of Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.

Take a look at Elli Quark instead yogurt or Greek yogurt. It has fewer calories (80) and higher Protein (14g). It is available online and Hy-Vee stores in my area. It is available in 12 flavors.

I know you are looking for food ideas, put if the real issue is Protein shakes are your best bet. The Premier Protein shakes have 30g per 11oz bottle. I drink two a day and that gets me to 60. Anything else I get from from is just a bonus at that point.

      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.
