NEED PRODUCT HELP...



Recommended Posts

I will be starting my 2 week pre-op diet, and I am wondering if anyone can give me product idea's that got you through it. I am just going to have a shelf to myself and probably hibernate in my room for 2 weeks out side of work. Want to reset my kitchen to make it as user friendly as possible!!!

Find a Protein Shake you like. The Protein will help hold off hunger and make pre-op a little easier. Good luck

I know his is an older post but I thought I'd reply anyway and hope it helps others. I'm on a Quest to find the Protein Shakes I'll like best during my pre and post op so I went to Sprouts and bought 15 different single packs to try. Most of them are plant based, some are whey based. This is what I found so far (I mix all of them with unsweetened almond milk):
Sprouts whey Protein strawberry: great flavor but it does have very small strawberry pieces.
Tera'sWhey bourbon vanilla: this one tasted just like vanilla ice cream so next time I'm making it into popsicles.
Garden of Life Sport plant based vanilla: YUK
Plant fusion vanilla: good flavor
Plant Fusion chocolate: ok, I like the texture of his brand as it's very smooth.
VegaOne: I tried the mixed berry, chocolate and coconut almond. The first two are 'protein and greens' so the shake is greenish in color and they have good taste, but I didn't really care for the slightly grainy feel it left in my throat. I did like their coconut almond one a lot.

I still have 8 other ones to try and a friend just sent me a big package full of samples from AdvoCare that I'm going to check out.

      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.
