Cookie flavors post-op



Recommended Posts

Are the cookie flavored Proteins (like Matrix mint cookie, or whatever) "safe" for the full liquid stage? They usually have little tiny bits in them.

I didn't even think about that. Watching for a reply.

I'd think not. If by full liquid, you mean you're in the broth stage, then no. I was told to strain absolutely everything. Contact your team to confirm, or wait til you can have yogurt to be safe.

My surgeon said if it goes through a straw it's full liquid. But I still strained my cream Soups after blending. I also use the Muscle Milk Cake Batter and Red Velvet Cake Protein powders and neither have chunks.

Thanks! This group considers cottage cheese and yogurt full liquids so I just assumed it would be okay - I'll double check with the nutritionist and let you guys know what they say.

I was allowed to have cream of wheat on my full liquid diet. I had to thin it with milk to make it drinkable. So I think it would be OK to take.

Red velvet Protein powder? Do tell-how is it and where can I get some? Sounds refreshingly good if it is tasty. Kindle please share! The question asked here seems to me it would be ok.

It's made by Muscle Milk. They have lots of yummy flavors. It's really good by itself or with a squirt of Torani Caramel Syrup. I also mix it with Greek yogurt and chopped nuts and freeze it for a Protein ice cream treat. I ordered it online, but I think GNC carries Muscle Milk, too.

Muscle milk was my favorite before I tried BSN Syntha-6, but I never knew they had anything other than chocolate/vanilla/strawberry/banana. Actually, I think I found a stray mango premixed one at Big Lots a few months ago. I'm guessing it wasn't a popular flavor, lol.

I tried the Syntha-6 chocolate mint and loved it, but after I realized how many calories were in it I tried Matrix mint cookie and it was almost as good. I think it's the mint - it covers the Protein smell and taste pretty well.

I heard back from the nutritionist today, and she said they're fine :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
