Need Protein Help - Fluids Stage



Recommended Posts

Hey All, Just call me lazy and that is the reason for this post. I am living in Norway and have no access to Isopure Protein Drinks, so I am lacking a bit on the Protein side. I have been told not to worry so much about Vitamins and protein during this stage, but then others have said otherwise. I did find a chicken Soup recipe I used last night that helped some I believe. Can I continue to just liquify chicken and fish and make Soups of them?

I had Type II Diabetes and have not seen a sign of it post op. AMEN! But, I do not want to drink to much milk in those Protein Shakes for the same reason. I was wanting to know if anyone had any ideas for me. Be creative, I love to cook, so anything would help.

Appreciate comments,

Rob:confused1:

Hey there, I'm pretty new at this myself so I don't have any wonderfully creative ideas for you but can you get Protein powders and what not? I have several different brands and I mix them all with Water. I cannot tolerate isopure...I think it's disgusting. I've taken to calling it isopuke...picked that up from tiffykins! lol

Also do they sell the Hood Carb Countdown Milk where you live? I use that to mix in my creamed Soups for added Protein as well.

Also greek yogurt has a lot of protein in it.

What was your surgery date?

Hey there, GoodLife =D Thanks for your response - I do have access to protein shakes here and I am drinking on as we speak. From what I understand for every deciliter(100ml) I get 10g protein. I have to intake 1.5dl everyday, and more if I can sip past it :tongue_smilie:. I just bought the lactose free milk here and it has just 3.3g protein per 100ml. I did try a chicken Soup recipe that was actually really good. Here lemme share

30oz of Rotissere chicken

1c milk

-I added soy sauce for flavour YUM!

Anyway, I do have to explore other drinks and food I can liquify on Monday when the stores open again.

My surgery date was the 10th of May, so tomorrow is my first weeks weigh in...I am very excited.

I sent you a friendship invitation - Check my ticker for my next weight. Gonna update it to what it was when I was admitted last Sunday so it is current, and then I will update it tomorrow. What time zone are you in?

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
