Dana me reacted to Matt Z in Heading to the store today for the pre/post-op meals! Tips?
Biggest tip. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FOR POST OP!!!
Odds are, your tastes for things will change, might be temporary (I had that happen) might be forever (lots of folks state their taste for things drastically changed). Best not to stock up and then not like them anymore.
Also, pay attention to Protein types... Concentrate is going to be pretty high in lactose, since it's pretty much JUST concentrated Milk. Isolate strips out most, if not all, lactose. LOTS of folks have issues with lactose post op. Again, some are temp, some are perm.
My wife wanted to buy things before hand, and I told her not to and explained why. She did it anyway. So much stuff got wasted.

I use Bariastic. It also has bariatric friendly recipes for different stages. It keeps up with calories, Protein, Water, weight, measurements, etc. It's super easy and simple to use. Not a bunch of bells and whistles. Some people can link it to their program and the dr's can see. Mine doesn't, but it's available for some people. It's a free app as well.

I just started the program and I need to keep a food log. Is there an app that can help me with my Protein, fat.and calorie intake for my meals for the month that's easy to use?

Dana me reacted to LadySin in Protein Powders, best taste, little or no after-tsete? Suggestions, please?
I'm in love with whey Protein Powder Isolate by BulkSupplements. I bought mine from Amazon. I love this stuff. I mix it plain Water and it taste like extremely watered down welfare milk power lol. You know, that farina your mom had in the pantry when you were a kid. Oh, and it mixes so freakin' easy! I put it in my cup, give it a hard stare and bam! 8 - 12 oz of Protein at 122 calories, no sugars or fat and less than 1 carb.

We have the best intentions to stock up and prepare before surgery, but learn from my mistake and don't buy too much. I found Premier Protein the most palatable, I bought a metric shiz-ton of it, and now I have to hope that I can return it because your tastes change and I can't stomach it. Many people like Premier Protein, especially when mixed in coffee. I've been making my own with Greek yogurt and Fairlife milk. Fairlife milk is really helpful to have on hand, it has more protein and less sugar than regular milk, it is lactose-free and it tastes like regular milk. I've been using it to thin out other products that are too sweet and to use instead of Water to give things a protein boost.
