How do you guys manage all the sweets?



Recommended Posts

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.

Man, this sounds amazing and I am YEARS out! :D

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.

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.

It is TOTALLY unflavored. I only wish I had found it a long time ago. It is the very best I have ever tried.

If there is a pho restaurant nearby, you can get delicious broth from them. Also, try miso. Yum!

So I found out yesterday that I've been making a big mistake. I am 2 1/2 weeks post op. While on the liquid diet and now pureed, I was supposed to get 2 Meal Replacements a day. I couldn't tolerate the sweet MR or even the Soup, but I could tolerate yogurt with unflavored Protein. That DIDN'T count!!!! I wasn't getting enough nutrients. The unflavored Protein is just whey and nothing else. I HAVE to do MRs!!! I still can't tolerate them. This morning I was finally able to get down a Premier Protein Drink. For lunch I tried the Bariatric Advantage lemon pudding. It was way too sweet. I only ate about 1/3 of it, then I had to take a Zofran because I was so nauseated. I wonder if I'm having some dumping.

Omg thank you. I asked my Dr about GENEPRO and he shut it down but I was definitely planning on being hard headed

It's only temporary. I couldn't stand sweets or soda after my Surgery and I was sleeved nearly 2 years ago. Now I can eat sweets again but it is a road I wish I never went down. I love sweets but I have to try hard not to eat them. Sometimes at night I have cravings and it's terrible because it will go right through me. I swear I could finish off an entire bag of frozen reece cups if you let me lol

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
