Post Weight Loss Surgery Protein Rules



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone and Happy New Years!!! So I recently had the Sleeve done and things are going well, except I cannot tolerate any dairy products. ANY AT ALL. I am struggling to get the required amount of Protein in. I’ve tried shakes, yogurts, silke yogurt and protien powders. I do not tolerate sweet tastes wel either. I need your help!!! Any suggestions on protein powders that are dairy free and sleeve friendly that are really tasteless. Please share any recommendations. Today my protein intake should increase and I have not even met he previous intake. HELP. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

I've tried the nectar Protein. I got the sample pack and so far they have all been good.

Gene Pro Protien. You can get it threw Amazon. It has been a life saver for me. One scoop of power with 1 oz of liquid equals 30 grams of protien. It is tasteless. It does give a little bit of a thicker texture to your liquid. But it goes very well with a sugar free Kool-aid or G2 drink. You can barely tell and especially being able to get that much protien in such a small amount of liquid is amazing. Well worth it. It comes out to be about $1 a serving.

My experience has been good with juice plus complete Protein Shakes and almond milk. I’m lactose sensitive and this works well for me.

I also had problems with dairy. I had a yoghurt once and thought I was going to die! Thankfully, I don't have dairy issues anymore. Anyway, I used to make Protein Shakes with unflavoured lactose free Protein Powder and almond milk. This is a versatile base, so you can then jazz it up with other flavours and have a bit of variety- depending on what you can handle in terms of sweetness. e.g. cacao powder, frozen fruits and/or natural nut butter (you want sugar free stuff - you have to read the ingredients!). Do you have a nutribullet?

Now that my dairy sensitivity is better, I'll make smoothies with regular/skim milk - only because it's cheaper to use the milk we have in the fridge than buy my own almond milk.

This could be an option for you.

Liquecel, buy on Amazon. It’s a Syrup type liquid, it’s kinda sweet but not too sweet. sugar free. Flavors are mango, lemon & a few others. I pour them into my tea or green tea or any liquid. 16 grams of Protein per serving & taste great. No dairy! Individual packets make it easy to throw in your purse or keep in your car.

      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.
