Who is tired of liquid protein drinks and broth...raise your hand??!!



Recommended Posts

Did not have to do liquid pre op, but had them for 3 weeks post op. All I really wanted was something, anything, I could just stick a fork into. I still use them now and again if I am rushed or traveling and don't want to bother with restaurants, etc.

Sadly...I am still drinking them......but I do have a hard time finishing them. How bout that guy in the movie, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. I am watching it now. Volunteering for liquids for 60 days??!!

I think I might be the only one that enjoys Protein shakes? Now, granted I haven't started the pre-op diet, but I'm not a huge Breakfast person. I'm also not sure if my surgon will allow me to have my normal Protein Shakes. I usually use almond milk, with a frozen banana and then add a variety of different things depending on what I want. I've made a mocha shake before, pineapple and peach, peach, berries, etc. I currently use Isopure low-carb powders. They come in a ton of different flavors, but I'm happy with the Dutch chocolate and vanilla. I can modify those a bit easier than Cookies and cream.

I can only imagine how difficult it's going to be to only consume Clear Liquids, and mushy foods. All I can say, is keep it up, it's a journey to a healthier you! You can totally do this! :)

I loved them too with all those yummy additions (especially bananas). I had one almost every day. But these are not the kind of shakes you get pre-op or post-op. At least, not with my clinic. And I just looked at the type of liquids I can have post-op and it says Protein shakes made without milk or fruit. Sounds pretty icky to me. I am looking into the Isopure high protein clear liquid drinks , but I don't know what flavor to buy. Would love hear suggestions from previous users!

Honestly, I haven't been sick of them at all! Weird I know. Vanilla per boxed premiere Protein from costco aren't bad. strawberry from GNC are good too. Both either 25 or 30 grams of protein. Nutraceutical summa has powder with low carbs and they have chic, vanilla, Cookies n crime, apple pie powders... All low carbs too , but a good variety. Another trick is Torino sugaring free syrups (cheapest at world market).. I put that in my powder shakes and my iced coffee to give me some zing w/o the calories! Yummy! Try it, you will love it!

I was able to have oatmeal thins morning WOO HOOO ! ! ! One more week then on to regular foods. I could only hold like a half of cup and it felt like I was going to burst. I got hungry again about 2 pm so it lasted quite a long time.

I hated the orange isopure so I always did red or green. Never tried the blue though

I really like nectar by Syntax... they have tons of flavors, you can get a 12 sample pack by calling them 866-333-7403 extension 803 for $13.99 shipped then you can decide what flavor you like best before buying the 2lb container. I feel that they mix best in a blendy ball container. I found that drvita.com had the cheapest price with free shipping. I also tried the Unjury and felt they had a weird after taste. The key is finding a few flavors you like so you can mix it up. But I'm on board with moving on to something more solid too!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
