I NEED SAVORY!!!

[Myhorseisfattoo 387]

Ok yall, I'm 6 days out, about to start on purees and soft stuff, which will help, but for the love of all that is holy, if I have to take in another sweet shake I'm gonna explode! I'm not a sweet person to begin with. Did any of you have this issue and can you make any savory suggestions before I go loony?

There is unflavored Protein out there. Have you tried that?

[Myhorseisfattoo 387]

Yes, but what do I put it in??

[lzucks 232]

Tomato Soup (read the labels for a lower calorie one) or chicken broth. Unjury makes chicken flavored Protein Powder. That, mixed in chicken broth, got me through.

I like several of the bariatric Pal Soups and broths

I was allowed to have broth and strained Soups (so healthy soups run through a strainer). Bariatric Pal has some Protein soups - I didn't like them, but some people do

I really like the Millie's sipping broth. Counts as some of your liquid. You can put unflavored protein powder (note - it is not no flavor, just no additional flavor).

I'll try it! I literally cannot with the sweet anymore. 8 days pre-op and 7 days post have burned me out. I'd sooner eat dirt!

Could you not have had some chicken broth? Is it a Protein issue?

There are fruity shakes by Syntrax Nectar. BariatricPal Store has a TONNNN of puree stuff. I am on purees... foreverrrrrr... and just had their sloppy joe meal for lunch. 15g of Protein. You can also add unflavored protein powder into Soups and broths. Unjury unflavored dissolved perfectly.

So I went to the store and was inspired! Fage yogurt has 22g per cup. So I made a pureed Raita. Those of you who enjoy Indian food will know what that is. It came out delish!! I also found some 30g smoothies in the produce section that seem doable and I added a scoop of Protein powder to my Tomato Soup and measured out 5 portions from the one can. It's coming together, I was just at rope's end this morning!!!

Thanks for the ideas and support!

I got those little hummus snack cups and I ate those 3 times a day until I could eat solids.

[Myhorseisfattoo 387]

I got hummus too! I'd eat mud to avoid another "chocolate" shake!!

I was about to post the same from the clear liquid diet. I never liked sweet drinks and all of the clear Protein Drinks are sweet!

Yup, I was freaking out yesterday. My choices are so limited. If I couldn't have bouillon, I'd be in such big trouble! So bouillon is what I've been doing for savoury. I never liked Tomato Soup so that hasn't been an option for me. I can't wait for my follow up next week and hope I get to start doing food so I can quit the "sweet" stuff.
