Failure, forgiveness & getting real



Recommended Posts

I use gene pro and hate it- it is definitely NOT flavorless . It is so gross to me. I have gotten to where I will

Mix it with a very small

Amount of liquid and take it like a shot. Hold my nose and then take a sip of G2 before I let go of my nose - it's an ordeal that I dread every day . Protein is my big problem as well. food still grosses me out so o really have to work to get protein- someone told me unjury Protein Powder is truly flavorless. Trying that next

Have you tried Premier Protein, injury, Quest, Syntrax nectar, or any of the other supplements? Why force down something you can't stand? How far out are you that you aren't eating food? Have you talked to your NUT about your challenges?

I am ten weeks out. My doctor seems to think I am pretty normal. I went back to Clear liquids and puréed for awhile but recently got back on food. I have tried all the shakes and I hate them- but have been drinking premier occasionally . I haven't found something I love yet but am going to try Unjury next-

I am pre-op and I have tried Premier and Pure Protein. I love Premier, hopefully I can still tolerate it post-op! Pure Protein is too thick for me. I definitely want to go back to real food as quickly as possible!

@@Nibbler How often are you eating that you're unable to get enough Protein at 12 months out? I dread the thought of having to continue Protein shakes at that stage.

I'm eating too frequently due to hunger from lack of protein. Problem is that I seem to fill up just after a few bites of protein...however can eat my weight in crackers (shame on me). Its like the protein is too dense. Sometimes I think maybe the repair on my hiatal hernia is too tight. But if i do get it down it often backs up. I can eat veggies good with no problem but not enough protein in that. I had great success with the protein powder this morning, added 30 gm to my Breakfast oatmeal (with a bit of banana and some toasted almonds. Feeling successful today.

Yes I have heard about the injury as well. Have you tried the premier shakes? So far those are the ONLY ones that don't make me sick. 30gms per container. And I have noticed it's the cheapest out there SO FAR. I'm just post op 2 weeks

      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.
