Homemade Protein pudding is what I lived on early on (sugar free Jello pudding, skim milk, Protein Powder, I also added PB2 because I loved peanut butter)

Though I ate that **** so much I'm so sick of it and can't imagine ever eating pudding again

You could also just add Protein powder to like everything as well (tea coffee soups)

Or basically anything dairy based (yogurt, kefir, Sugar Free Chocolate milk etc)

Sure milk has some carbs in it, but early on youre eating so little anyway, its all about hitting that protein number

Did your dr/nutritionist give some kind of directions ? I know mine gave a specific packet, although I found it useless because it was filled with crap id never eat or I didnt deem "healthy enough" for myself (ie purina)

What’s the best Protein Powder?

The one that you enjoy the taste and flavor of. Unless youre lactose intolerant (in which case you want a lactose free one) the overwhelming majority of Protein powders are roughly the same. Just take a look at the back and make sure it doesnt have a lot of added sugar and crap (most dont, occasionally they do).

Theres some that I find disgusting and some that I love eating. Just find one you enjoy and stick with it. Of course it also depends how youre gonna mix it (with pudding, with Water, with skim milk, almond milk etc).

But I think the most important thing is finding one you can tolerate all the time. Premier Protein shakes from Sams Club are a popular option, and I do agree that they taste very good

I had my surgery on 4/19 feeling great other then gas pains. I’m still on Clear Liquids till I get cleared on Thursday on my 1 week post op. Good news is I’ve lost 11lbs so far. Any ideas on getting more Protein in? On liquids besides shakes? Thank you [emoji4]


We are same surgery date buddies also got it April 19th. My first appointment with the surgeon is today. Havent weighed myself since the surgery so pretty excited to know how much weight i have lost. I can definitely feel a difference in clothes size. It hasn’t been that hard so far but i had a bout of irritability yesterday i was furious over a small issue it must be the lack of sugar as i am usually pretty mellow.
Goodluck with everything and please lets keep in touch.

Hey Klee i had my first doctors visit on Wednesday lost a total of 22 pounds. I was ecstatic! I still feel ok but my stomach isnt liking the full liquid stage much i have suffering from diarrhea for the last 2 days. Doc says its ok. Tried light yogurt which isnt very good for me as it doesnt fill me up on the spot but comes back with terrible bloating and nausea 15 min after. Still cant complain much. Hope u are doing great

      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.
