nana perez 98 Posted February 28, 2017 Thanks so much for your help your a peach I'm gonna try the vanilla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marieac2 85 Posted February 28, 2017 You need to have 6 shakes a day so you need to be clever & creative with some flavoring. I bought Carmel, pineapple, mint. You also can add sugar fee instant pudding for flavor & thickner! Also, with chocolate I added 1 tbsp dark chocolate CoCo & mint flavoring. I also bought whole vanilla Beans which taste fantastic! But use very little because it's strong. Snip a little piece from the bean, then split in half scrape out the bean. Store in zip bag to keep fresh. I hope this is helpful!!

nana perez 98 Posted February 28, 2017 Wow I didn't even know I had to have 6 shakes A day that's a awesome tip thanks how many ounces and how do you alternate with eating food Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marieac2 85 Posted February 28, 2017 yes, you don't want to starve yourself. For me, after surgery I did not want to eat, everything tasted awful to me! This is from a person who loved any kind of food.. it took me over a month to get on regular schedule & get in all my Protein. You can get unflavored Protein packets & mix with Jello as another way to get your protein in... first thing first let's get you thru the surgery!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clc9 644 Posted February 28, 2017 Wow I didn't even know I had to have 6 shakes A day that's a awesome tip thanks how many ounces and how do you alternate with eating food Hmm. I am told to have 3-3.5 shakes a day depending on the Protein content so that I get at least 70g of protein a day. 6 would be a lot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marieac2 85 Posted February 28, 2017 You should spread out the drinks so you are not tempted to eat something solid. Trust me, it's hard but you DO NOT WANT TO BE HUNGRY & CRAVING!! The first 2 days see what works best for you. If 3-3 1/2 works for you great!! Just remember Protein is your first priority. YOU need at least 60-70 grams a day.

rolltidefan 2 Posted March 14, 2017 I used Premier Protein and was not hungry or irritable at all. The key for me was to drink before I felt hungry. I am now 3 months post op and have NO regrets with this surgery. Good luck! 1 nana perez reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
