Protein 4 Weeks Post Op



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to share that I am able to reach my daily Protein goals by eating ALL REAL FOOD! No more shakes for me! Once I was able to start eating chicken, that did it for me. I still have some shakes at home for when I may need them, but hopefully, I am past the shake phase, and I can just eat real food for good now!

Good for you! I can't wait to get to that point. I've got about another week and should then be ready to progress to regular food again. I'm beyond being burned out on the shakes.

Congrats!

Congrats! I still use shakes occasionally but one thing I noticed is they can contribute to ::hushed voice:: constipation! I try to limit them to when I'm going somewhere whereI know I may not have a chance to get healthy choices.

I was able to start on regular foods this week (I'm 4 weeks out as well) and also found i could get my Protein goal in with just foods. Now I just need to keep up on my liquids

@"ResilientMaria", yes, liquids are like a full time job trying to get them all
In by the end of each day.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
