Full liquids and protein?



Recommended Posts

Both my mom and and Aunt have had the Gastric By-pass, and I recently had my band. So we've tried many, many Protein products.

My absolute favorite is Nectar!

nectar whey Protein | nectar Whey Protein shakes

They are kind of pricey, but each container makes 36 shakes. And if you look on eBay, there's a seller who has a Vitamin/Health store sort of thing on there.

They are much cheaper. And have more flavors. I picked up the Kiwi Strarberry this morning!

My surgeon told me ABSOLUTELY NO DAIRY PRODUCTS! He's very strict. Haha.

So unwillingly I tried the vanilla Nectar with Water in a blender. And surprisingly it was very good. Then the next time I made myself one, I added 1 packet of equal. And, honestly, it would be something I would enjoy with our without having to be a 2 week protein fast.

I hope this was helpful!!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've tried almost all of these and I hate everything. They're all just disgusting to me. I'm hardly getting any Protein at all and the only thing my Dr's office has to say is "oh you have to acquire a taste for it." I want to scream.

Nice thread thanks for all of the ideas. I've been making Protein Shakes for years....Whey powder, Skim Milk, Flax Meal, frozen fruit, sometimes reduced fat Peanut Butter and love them in the evening. However my surgeon said something during the seminar that has me wondering about Protein Drinks. He said you will have two things with you at all times.....sippy cup of Water and sippy cup of Protein Drink (sippy cup my addition). The thought of a milk based drink at my desk all day makes me go :thumbdown:. You all have definately given some good alternatives I'll have to check my favorite shopping site for some of these.

I hated Protein shakes, still do! What I did was get some unflavored unjury Protein powder and just made Soup and added it to that so I didn't have to do the shakes. You can also make really runny oatmeal and add it to that. It avoids the nasty shake situation!

Ugh my mom uses unflavored Unjury and I'm sorry but it is NOT unflavored. I can't even stand the smell of any protein things. I think I'm giving up on this whole protein thing until they let me eat solid foods again.

I'm having issues getting in much Protein at all. I'm drinking carnation instant Breakfast with 8oz of milk once a day and that's it. I've never tolerated milk very well and I HATE chocolate and can't find the no sugar added vanilla carnation. :w00t: Anyway, I've tried Isopure and Unjury and some different Protein Shakes and I despise them all. I feel like with protein powder and protein shakes I might as well be taking a bite out of the living room rug. Does anyone have any other suggestions for getting in protein during the full liquid phase?

      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.
