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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
