Need Help With Pre And Postop Protein Ideas



Recommended Posts

My surgery is July 2nd and I'm starting my preop diet. I purchased unflavored Unjury and ready made Muscle Milk Light. I tried the muscle milk by itself and it wasn't bad. Then I tried the Unjury in skim milk and it was BEYOND NASTY! I wanted to vomit hours afterward, it was so nasty with the milk. I had an idea to mix it with the chocolate Muscle Milk Light, and it was doable, but that is not something I feel is feasible...to buy two Protein products and combine them. Any other suggestions I can try? Any thoughts would be welcome. Thank you.

I am doing Atkins for my pre-op diet' date=' the chocolate was good, haven't tried the vanilla yet. Hope its just as good.[/quote']

I like the vanilla as well as the choc. It reminds me of a very thin McDonald's shake. I bought strawberry tonite. Will try it tonite

I used Pure Protein 100% whey Frosty chocolate from Target. Whatever it is that you buy, don't buy too much of it for after surgery. Taste buds change. What you like now, you may hate after surgery. It's weird, but true. I'm tolerating the Pure Protein again, when it made me gag after surgery. For the Clear stage (after surgery) Isopure from GNC is 40 grams a bottle. At first you won't be getting that much protein in, the most important thing you will need is waters.

premier from costco

Another vote for Premier at Costco. I have the vanilla and they aren't bad as far as Protein Shakes go.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
