Protein and thank you!



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Just wanted to suggest a Protein solution that I found per a suggestion from this board.

I can't take another Protein shake. I just can't do it. I've been on them for a month now and I'm fairly confident I'll never willfully drink one again. I'm only 6 days post op and since I'm so sick of them I came to this app and saw someone suggest Protein Water. Water is the only thing I ever want to drink. I don't want the shakes or anymore Gatorade. I went on Amazon and found liquid Protein by Bariatric Choice.

My goodness has this been a blessing! To his point I've barely been able to consume anything besides plain water (I've always loved drinking water). But now I get something similar in taste to Crystal Light with 15g of protein per serving. You just add the Liquid Protein to the water and sip sip sip!

I can't tell you how happy this has made me. I now feel a lot more confident about being able to stick to my doctor's requirements without feeling absolutely miserable and deprived during his liquid phase.

Also, I was on here feeling pretty low in the days following my surgery. I'm sure I'll have more of them and I know you all will be there to lift me up, so I sincerely thank you all for your support. I'm more of lurker than a poster but I just wanted to share my protein find and my gratitude.

I drink that too! It reminds me of jolly ranchers. I add crushed ice and mio drops to give it more flavor. The shakes were making me sick so now I stick with liquid Protein and boost

      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.
