Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted October 23, 2016 I liked: Premier Protein GNC Lean 25 (orange cream is my favorite) ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates ProtiDiet creamy chicken and Tomato basil Soups WonderSlim dark chocolate pudding Syntrax nectar It didn't have a schedule as I pretty much sipped something all the time early out in order to get in my 100 grams of Protein and fluids. The only thing I used to mix my protein shakes/soups/puddings was Water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tenseintexas 182 Posted October 23, 2016 I didn't worry about Protein at all the first week- I was only on Clear liquids so I didn't get hardly any Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
busybeebug 415 Posted October 23, 2016 Each day or so add a little more to your diet. Mix a little unflavored into your broth or apple sauce or drinks. It doesn't have to be the full scoop, maybe half if you are still anxious about your stomach getting upset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Yes, at the grocery. I'm still trying to find Protein I can tolerate. Greek yogurt is definitely a good source. I also use chicken Soup powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. Everything else tastes like a sickly sweet vomit. Makes me nauseous as soon as it hits my stomach. I have nectar coming. Fingers crossed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if you loved it preop. And then, 2 weeks later your tastes will change. So hold off in giant jars, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blizair09 3,250 Posted October 24, 2016 Unflavored Protein Powder in broth got me through the Clear Liquids. Once I moved on to full liquids, unflavored Protein powder and strained cream of chicken Soup was a savior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a huge struggle to get calories, Fluid, and protein right now. I'm almost 6 weeks out. Waiting for that easier part to kick in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
