Smartypantz 0 Posted April 13, 2017 Hello, I had my surgery a week ago yesterday (4/5//17) so I'm brand spanking new. I am not very hungry at all and the thought of having a Protein Shake makes me want to gag. My doctor said that he just wants me to get at least one Protein shake (30 grams of protein) and fluids if that's all I can do. Any other protein options you can recommend. I can only have liquids. Soup? I bought a fresh squeezed juice yesterday consisting of beets, carrots, apple and ginger. I need something wholesome. It was very soothing to me. Don't know if I am allowed to have that but I didn't want to have anything. Also, my daughter has Cobani Yogurt drink that has 14 grams of protein and I liked it. The tanginess more specifically. Except it's high in sugar. Any suggestions? How soon after did you guys exercise? My doctor told me right away so on the third day, I gone on my spin bike for 15 minutes. Seems too soon though... Anyway, I would love to get to know you and be part of this community. I feel like a preschooler. I know nothing. So I'm willing to learn. Thank you!!

smileeangel 9 Posted April 13, 2017 I am also newly sleeved (4/4). I have been doing a lot of smoothies that my nutritionist recommended. I seem to like the yogurt smoothies the best. The pre-mixed Protein Shakes I lived on during pre-op phase sound terrible to me now.For smoothie:Any container Greek 100 yogurt (sugar under 10)1/2 c milk1 scoop unflavored Protein powder1/4 c dry milkHalf banana (or other fruit)It takes me half the day to get it down, but it tastes good. There are a few others I can share if you're interested, or Pinterest seems to have a lot of good ideas as well.Good Luck! 1 Smartypantz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smartypantz 0 Posted April 13, 2017 First of all, congratulations!! How are you doing and feeling? That sounds so good. I've craving greek yogurt. I bought so many different Protein powders and they all turn my stomach when I think about it. Yes!! I would love more recipes. Please? I hope you update your profile so I can learn more about you!

smileeangel 9 Posted April 14, 2017 I guess I didn't realize I could do anything with my profile, lol. I'm a newbie. I will take some pics of my recipes! I've also been dabbling with different concoctions. Mainly switching up the yogurt. Tonight I'm having Oikos triple 0 coconut cream with mocha Protein Powder and 2.5 strawberries. It's delightful!I'm trying to post a couple pictures of the recipes, but it won't let me. [emoji849] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
