I had my surgery two days ago, July 20, by Dr Robert Shin. I have five very small incisions which are sore but tolerable, a little nausea and still feeling sort of wiped out.

I am having a real hard time getting miniumum of 60 gms of Protein in on this full liquid diet week. I am drinking Protein Drinks and adding some protein to cream of chicken Soup. Any other suggestions?

Congratulations on your surgery. I am glad you are doing well. Maybe you could get some unflavored Protein things - like I know that this stuff called Unjury is high protein and it has an unflavored kind. Mix it with your Water or tea or whatever you are drinking. You won't even be able to taste it. You can buy it off the internet at unjury website

hi moonpie,

i use the new-whey Protein bullets. i bought them online at A1Supplements.com - Wholesale supplements Nutrition at Low Prices to Build Muscle, Lose Fat with EAS, MuscleTech, BSN and more!

they have them in 25 gms and 42 gms

i like the blue raspberry and fruit punch the best

Congrats on your surgery! I was banded on the 16th and I'm facing the same issue. These are some great suggestions! I will try both.

I am two days out and am having the same issue. I am just not hungry enough to get down that much Protein. I am getting most of my protein from the Unjury chocolate (20 grams protein per scoop) and 2 cups of skim milk (16 grams protein). it doesnt taste too bad at all. I had horrible luck with the unflavored and juice.< /p>

      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.
