How are you suppose to get protein in on all liquid diet ?



Recommended Posts

Protein Water has very chalky taste and it makes me nauseous and it's still too soon for Protein shakes. I feel like this is not healthy ... I'm 7 days post op

I was allowed Premier Protein on my clear liquid phase. I could also do clear protein supplements like: Isopure, ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates, Syntrax nectar, etc.

Protein promotes healing and increased energy levels. Please refer to your team regarding the amount of protein you need. Dehydration is bad, but malnutrition is just as bad. My NUT recommended unflavored protein in broth, pudding, etc. I haven't had surgery, but I have worked in medical field for 24 years; so this recommendation is more from experience in basic Healthcare. Good luck to you.

Beef bone broth, homemade, really helped me.

I couldn't tolerate any Protein shakes at all. I had to go lactose free for months post op too.

Once you are cleared for full liquids, blending chicken or beef broth with the meat to a fine consistency, that helps too. Egg drop Soup was my first Protein.< /p>

@@nikko9599 I am drinking 2 oz of Water every 15 min. How many oz are your shakes? Wondering if I should start alternating Water and shakes every 15 min. How much water are you getting in daily? And for some reason I am still in an extreme amount of pain. I have 5 incisions instead of the avg 3 I hear ppl have

I've been alternating 1 Oz of water and 1 Oz Protein shake every 15 minutes. 2 Oz was too much for me. I don't finish a shake in 1 day they are 11 Oz though. Lately I've been adding pudding or a popsicle for a different tastes. Yesterday I started adding yogurt and Mira lax to my water

      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.
