1 week and 2 days post op - Protein shakes



Recommended Posts

So before surgery i had bought 3 cases of Premier Protein shakes from costco 2 vanilla and 1 chocolate.< /p>

Been trying to drink the vanilla for the past couple days to get my Protein and i just cant take the taste.

So i just tried the chocolate and OMG ITS GREAT lol.

Why did i think i wasnt going to like CHOCOLATE !!!!

Thank god my vanilla is ALMOST gone and then I can fully start my chocolate shakes.

30g of protein and my dr. wants me to drink 2 a day.

Today will be my 1st official day of getting ALL my protein in YAY :rolleyes:

I also bought a few cases of Priemer and started with the chocolate...they are indeed pretty good. I did the whey Protein self made shakes during my pre op diet and got burnt out on those really quick. Today on the other hand I had the vanilla and it was horrible...I'm stuck with the case unless I can take it back to costco and have them switch the flavor for me;) I heard the Chike Protein Drink are fabulous...they come in coffee flavor. Best of luck to all

I can drink the Vanilla but I'm glad I only got one box. I think I might put some Water Enhancer drops in it next time. They advertise a strawberry, I haven't found it at any Sams Clubs here though. I have the Premier chocolate at least once a day.

I just recieved my sample pack from Chike yesterday and last night I had the Bananna and it was really good! I also have samples coming from Click and Big train. All 3 of those have coffee flavors.

strawberry sounds yummy! I put mine in the freezer while I fix Breakfast for my little one then enjoy it while he eats. In the beginning days it took me until almost noon to finish it. I believe it's helped in my success this far. I noticed today I had either head hunger or actual hunger, I didn't finish the vanilla one this morning:/ I will be back on my chocolate one tonight

How do you get samples?

I got all three direct from their respective web sites. You can also get some samples from Amazon.< /p>

I dont know if its ok to post website URLs on here but you can google them all by their names. Chike is called Chike Nutrition.

I'm glad I had gotten samples from nectar because I hate them all. I would be unhappy if I had a whole canister.

I am dying to find some Protein shakes I like! I have not even come CLOSE to getting enough Protein. Before the surgery I was doing Advocare and I really like them, now though I cannot even get down one ounce. Tried the Lean Muscle Milk today in the vanilla flavor and could only get down about 5 sips- yuck!

My dr didn't seem too concerned about the lack of protein (yet), he just wanted me to get enough liquids in period, but I am not on mushies for another two weeks. I do not want to lose a lot of hair!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
