Protein in my full liquid diet



Recommended Posts

I need advise, I have one more week of my full liquid diet and haven’t been consuming 60 grams of Protein. I am worried I will stall so soon because of this. Top it off this morning I got a Decaf coffee with cream and mocha. The sugar is high but need one good thing. Should I just throw it away? And does the protein affect weight loss ?

Get that Protein in. You can do it. It's not that hard. One Protein Shake has 25-30 g of protein, so drinking just 2 of them a day would meet your goal. The two week liquid diet isn't about losing weight, it's about healing from your surgery.

shakes need to become part of your life for a long time if you want to do this right. Get them in, there's some good options out there, you don't need to do the Premier Protein type shakes if you don't like them. Try skim or nut milk with powders. The best powders I've had are Xtend, Body Fortress and Isopure.

I agree! You may need to thin it out.. I just stayed with my pre-op Unjury shakes and powder. The Protein Shakes are now the easy part! I am not hungry enough to really do the pureed...

      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.
