How do you guys manage all the sweets?



Recommended Posts

Hello I had gastric sleeved on Nov 7 and My Dr still has me on liquid diet. He told me to drink plenty fluids and eat sugar free Jell-o, pudding, Popsicle's, Protein shakes and some cream Soup...nothing soft yet not even the noodles. My question is how do you guys manage such diet if you can't stand sweets?? Every time I gotta have something it's a Sweet thing, I can't stand it!!! I don't have a sweet tooth at all and sweets make me nauseated. Any ideas or suggestions could help tons!!! Thanks a Trillion!!

Did he say that you can have Beef or chicken broth? If you can I would suggest BETTER THAN BOUILLON, Then they have this amazing unflavored Protein Powder called GENEPRO. It has 30 grams of Protein in 1 tablespoon. I use it in my coffee all the time. If you try it get a little warm Water in a cup add powder and whisk it up then add it to whatever you are drinking or eating, pudding ETC.

Have you tried unflavored Protein powder in broth? Also when you can add it strained creamed Soup, the unflavored Protein Powder can be mixed into it as well.

Omg this is my same problem! I called my doctor basically losing my mind. I don't understand why everything is a sweet and the broth taste like water! I was sleeved November 8th

I was sleeved on November 8th. I started full liquids on the 11th and will be moving to pureed on the 25. I can have low fat greek yogurt, any cream based Soup strained, chicken broth, vegetable broth, beef broth, watered down oatmeal, cream of wheat, Protein shakes, and any low calorie caffeine free carbonation free drink. I can't tolerate many of the Protein drinks... They are way too sweet. I have added the unflavored Protein Powder to oatmeal and cream of wheat but it kind of tastes like baby formula. I have my postop appointment tomorrow, so hopefully my doctor will have some better ideas on how to get my Protein in.

Homemade chicken broth in the crockpot was a lifesaver to me! Go to Allrecipes.com and search for it. Super easy and it tastes like real food!

I skipped the pudding and Jell-o. I relied heavily on broth with Protein powder mixed in. I didn't mind the occasional sugar free Popsicle though.

I was also fine with drinking plain Water mixed with unflavored protein powder. A lot of people on here think it's gross, but it worked for me.

I have lost all intersect in sugar sweet food. Even switched to unflavored Protein powder. I do have 4oz of "supper food" juice (15 grams carbs) a cup of ice and a scoop of protein every day

Does the GENEPRO have any sugar like substance at all? I don't like the fake sugar that is used either but I need more protein.

I would actually make chicken noodle Soup and just drink the broth. It had more flavor then chicken stock. When I did have chicken stock, I added garlic salt and pepper to it. I would also cook it with carrots, corn and celery in it, and then stain it. It gave it a different flavor that way. I relied more on yogurt with Protein powder, as I found it to not be as sickly sweet as the Meal Replacement shakes, puddings, hot chocolate.

      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.
