Protein



Recommended Posts

Ensure High Protein has a pleasanter flavor than most. I just purchased some earlier in the week. Many people like Premier Protein or Muscle Milk. Some of the others I wouldn't give 2 cents for. Several Pals also like Unjury or there are some nice ones at the Bariatric Pal Store, if you feel like ordering some. Good retail stores are GNC, Sam's Club, costco, Target and Wal-Mart.

I like the GNC Lean shake premade shakes and they come in all kinds of flavors including banana, vanilla, strawberry and more. They have 25 g Protein each.

Hi. I used UMP & Isopure. I like you don't like chocolate that much. These ones come in all kinds of flavor, including a very nice Hawaiian flavor. It's powdered form but you can add it to your coffee, a little bit of fruit, or yogurt, to name a few things. Helped me through the 1st few months after surgery, when I couldn't get much down. Still use it in shakes now & then.

I've tried many braneds. After cancer I was more sensitive to odd tastes in the Protein Powder. The best one I've tasted is BSN Synthra Edge. Make sure it says edge. Regular synthra has sugar, and I accidentally bought the sugared one, and couldn't taste the difference.

      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.
