Protein Water Question



Recommended Posts

Hi! I'm having a hard time with the Protein Shakes. I'm trying all kinds of flavors but I just don't like them. I know I may have to force them down & I will if it comes to that. My question is can I use Protein Water & unflavored Protein Powder to get my protein in every day after surgery and not drink shakes? I tried the unflavored protein in water and it tasted just fine so I know I can use that. I've got a case of protein water on the way too. Any advice would be helpful! Thank you!

(I'm sure this question has been asked over & over but my search results were 17,000+ and nobody has time for that, ha!)

No problem with that plan. Good luck!

I love the flavored Protein waters to top off my protein if I didn't quite make my protein goal at the end of the day. I find the shakes sit better in the morning on an empty stomach but by the end of the day it can be heavy. So long as you take your Vitamins and are getting in protein, I don't see why not.

Honestly call your dietician and ask.

      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.
