Hi Sheila I had my surgery 2 years ago and while I was lactose intolerant before surgery I found that after surgery I don't do well with a lot of soy either so I've turned to alternatives like almond milk. I know this doesn't help when it comes to Protein supplements but maybe that would be a way to get some extra protein. Good luck, Samantha

Head Hunger
Ms skinniness replied to Look@meitsEmily's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Can you drink another protein shake. Drink some more water and keep yourself busy. This will pass, the HA is most likely stress related and low intake of carbs. This is just my opinion, I am not a medical doctor. -
Yes, I am on liquids. Mostly Protein shakes and broth. sugar free Jello and Sugar Free Ice Pops in between. My reflux is getting better. Even though I have lost some weight I still feel bigger than before because of everything being so swollen. About how long does that take to go away? I feel so bloated all the time. I was going to put decaf instant coffee in the Protein drinks. My doc has had me off caffeine forever now. Any advice that you can send along would be great. Thanks, Kim PS - how do I add a ticker to my post?

Weight loss

tmayhan2001 I think it depends on the doctor what the pre-op diet is and when it starts. I'm hungry, drinking 2 protein shakes, broth, sugar free jello. -
I used almond milk in all of mine. It was listed as an option in my paper work though.

I was put on a pre op shake diet for two weeks. A coworker suggested muscle milk lite for my diet. It's working but tastes horrid after drinking it. Any suggestions for some half decent tasting shakes that I don't have to gag to drink? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I love Pure Protein.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply there, BeachBunny! I'll change up my liquid diet to Isopure and I know it has a lot more protein than my 23 g of protein shakes. I have another week and two days to do!
-
Check out some if the protein ideas on here. Like the tasteless ones. Isopure is one drink u may want to try. It has like 40gm protein.

6 days till surgery 4 days to final weigh in two week diet I'm still going strong! But getting tired of the same protein shake
-
I am not required to do a pre-op diet except the day before surgery. HOWEVER, I have been doing 2 Protein shakes and 1 small meal to help prepare for the after math of surgery. Store bough broth's are really not all that great to me. So I have made turkey and chicken broth myself and I have the ability to feel like the flavor is satisfying. On Monday, I will cut out the small meal and just do the liquid part. So far, after doing this for 4 days, I am already down 5 pounds. I helps me keep motivation when I check the scale . Best of luck to you whatever road you choose to take.

So nervous I feel nauseous! LOL

Just had my first few teaspoons of custard. Went down smoothly and tasted good. Full after 4 tablespoons! My surgeon says eat anything liquid that you can get though a straw that is really runny, e.g. Custard, broth, runny yogurts, the higher in protein like Dairy is the better. -
Hi can anyone give me some recipes for pre-op liquid protein shakes. I need ideas , not sure what I'm aloud to put in the shake. HELP!!!

You were RIGHT! Thanks! :) Stall is gone....
KellyL replied to SuperMom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats, that's fantastic!!! Yeah, I've been able to get more protein in also, and it definitely makes a difference. I am trying to increase my water now, I seem to struggle more with that than protein. Way to go on breaking your stall!!! :rockon: -
Tried to do a fancy dinner tonight to change things up alittle 4oz flounder, couple broccoli florets and half of a small potatoe baked in the oven with lemon juice salt and pepper, according to my fitness pal this totaled 156 calories, 8 grams carbs, 6 grams fat and 18 grams protein. The only problem was being only 3 weeks post op once I finished the flounder I was done. I guess my eyes are bigger then my stomach, literally.

I struggled my first month during my medically supervised diet (required for 6 months per my insurance). My head just wasn't in it - to me, it felt like yet another attempt to lose weight that I was just going to fail. BUT then I realized this is the time to get my act together because this time I will.not.fail. There's a light at the end of this yo-yo dieting tunnel and I'll soon have the tool I need to help me be truly successful. With the mindset shift, I was able to make a couple of changes that have really helped and I've been steadily losing since then. I started swapping out one meal a day with a Protein shake or Protein Bar (paired with some veggies or something small). That change led to other changes (better eating/better choices) and a few weeks later I seemed to break out of the cycle of constantly craving crap food. I hope you find something similar. Good luck!

Pre-OP diet other options
orionburn replied to Ineedhelp2014's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Unjury makes a really good protein powder. It's a little pricey but good. My only suggestion is not to stock up on any one product and/or flavor. Things may not taste as good for a while after surgery. I came to loathe some of the flavors I had. It passed in time, but for a week or two I had to choke them down. You may want to add a fiber supplement to your drinks like Benefiber. That might help with the bathroom issues.- 1 reply

I was banded about the same time as you (7/30/09). I still count my calories every day so I know where I am. I try to stay at 1200 calories and remember to eat lots of protein. Also, I wear a bodybugg (you can google it if you don't know what it is) so I see where I am as far as steps taken and calories burned. I find it to be motivating. Good Luck.
-
Have you gone back to your rules of the band? Protein first and aiming for 60-80 grams? What types of foods are you eating? I find that it helps me when I get a calendar and plan out what I'm going to eat for the week. Get back with your doc and see what he has to say. I'm so sorry I know this can be frustrating.

Have any of you had RNY Surgery in Mexico? I am curious. I am doing some research for my options and my Insurance will not cover RNY. If you have or know some one who has had surgery in Mexico... What was their experience? How much did it cost? How was the follow up care. Would you recommend? Thanks so much in advance for any help you can provide.

Mine will be 3 days of liquid pre op 4 unjury Protein shakes daily, use unflavored unjury with orange juice. No milk for me pre op. 16 oz of broth each day And sugar free Jello and popsickles. Plus Water and crystal light. I'm allowed 2 cups of coffee daily but they said try not to have the coffee unless my head aches too badly. I start this on Monday.
-
I used them pre-op. I switched to Unjury so my cost would be less. Also, my first week post-op, I was told to drink protein shakes made with water. That leaves out the Premier shakes. I did like the convenience of them. But I like the flavor of Unjury better.
-
Premier protien RTD shakes are exactly what I drank prior to surgery. I think they taste great. My new favorite Protein mix in Syntax nectar brand - no sugar, no carbs. The taste is awesome. Love the vanilla bean torte and the chocolate truffle!

Heating pad, immersion blender to make protein shakes, mini food processor for the puree stage, big insulated mug (Bubba kegs work well) to keep your drinks hot or cold, a big variety of approved drinks (mine were G2, Powerade zero, light fruit juice, decaf tea and decaf coffee, V8, skim milk, and kefir), big variety of protein powder samples, and a digital kitchen scale. You won't need the scale right away, but you should have one eventually!

I heard some people talking about a warmer from Walmart, I want to say it was a mug warmer. I have very small bowls and tupperware labeled with 1/2 cup and 4oz to help me keep track. I bought cheap kid spoons at the grocery store and sippy cups. Don't forget blender bottles for protein shakes.
