    Non-dairy Protein Powder

    Hello, I am trying to prepare for surgery and am having trouble finding protein powders that are non-dairy and include isolates, which my nutritionist recommends. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Garbanzo Beans

    Yeah, I eat a ton of vegetables, tempah, tofu and fruits (well I did presurgery). It is definitely a challenge without any of the beans, etc. I had 3 weeks of starch free preop and that was interesting

    Garbanzo Beans

    My nutritionist told me (as a Vegan) not to eat all of the beans and quineo that I used to eat, because of the starches and carbs did anyone else hear this message? I dont' want to have to eat meat to get my protein. I am a Vegan for a reason! I'd love to see recipes.

    Sweet Tooth

    Does anyone think we could have sugar free Popsicle like ice cream? Chocolate or other flavors now? I guess it would depend on the # of carbs...

    Brain is Hungry but Stomach is Not

    Hi there! I'm just starting to feel "hungry" after 1 week post-op. I am adding unflavored protein powder to everything, yogurt, cottage cheese, soup, to get some protein in!

    July surgery

    Hi everyone!! I'm one week out and doing great!! I can't believe the difference these past few days. It feels like all of a sudden my stomach started to work again and now I can drink much more than I was a few days ago!! I started on pureed today, which for me is cottage cheese consistency. I'm retraining myself that I need food to live, not live for food How is everyone else doing?? Thanks

    I'm afraid to try Protein Shakes! LOL I don't want to feel sick I've been sticking to water and Popsicles so far, but it's really hard to get water in that I need.

    Opinion on Dr. V

    I'm enjoying his approach and am anxious to see if I an adapt some of his ways, such as the texture scale for eating.

    Opinion on Dr. V

    This is the is the information I was looking for...when it seems to good to be true, it probably is! I spent my first liquid day watching his videos back to back today. I gain a lot of new information, but it is not the same as I hear from my own doctor..

    July surgery

    I always have issues with constipation post surgeries because of the pain meds they give. I decided to be proactive for this one and got a box of Ducalox ready to go when i get home. I'm also going to order Smooth Move tea.

    July surgery

    Tonight was my last night of "real food" (no starch though) for awhile I'm thinking. I had a Vegan Pizza on a cauliflower crust, as pizza is my favorite food and it met the criteria. Tomorrow starts 2 days of clear liquids for me and I'm hoping to get a lot of sleep after day 1 because I often get hangry lol. Tuesday is my surgery and from suggestions on this board, I have Biotine mouth spray and nausea disk ready to go, along with Lavender chapstick and a long phone charger. I'm wearing the same clothes out that I come in with and have an extra pair of comfy pj shorts to walk the halls in under my hospital gown...that's it. Everything else will come from the hospital.
