I'm 5 days post op. I'm still on full liquids for another 10 days. This morning I tried a sip of the premier Carmel Protein Shake. I instantly got stomach cramps and had to use the bathroom. Ugh, anyone have different suggestions for Protein Shakes?

Try trutein sample packs and see which ones you like. You can only get them online, just search for trutein.

Try vegan or plant based Protein. They have it at costco. The one I use is called Orgain. Some people tolerate plants better than dairy.

I was lactose intolerant after surgery and for the first like 4 mo the or so. You can either attempt to use lactase tablets until it gets better, or You can try a non lactose form of Protein like Vega protein. It is a vegan protein as well. They carry it on Amazon in a 4pk. The chocolate is pretty good and contains no lactose. I didn't know about Vega when I was going through it so I basically lived off of Syntrax which was easier to digest and my NUT advanced me to puréed eggs early on so I could get more protein.

      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.
