I was thinking about adding the sf ff banana pudding and blend it. would that work? Or the sf ff cheesecake pudding. Should I blend it or put the powder in it and stir?

I drink the Protein that is in the tubes. Not quite 3oz and it has 26grams of protein. Easier to tolerate since I have to have 100grams a day. I don't have enough room for the shakes and the small amount of protein they have.

Be careful because most Protein in tubes isn't the right kind of protein to take in. Most is gelatin/collegen based with a little whey in it and they call it whey protein. After RNY you need to take in Whey or Soy protein. It's best digested and absorbed by your body.

If you like chicken Soup there is a great powder you can buy online called "unjury". You mix 8 ounces of Water with a scoop of powder and it's equal to 20 grams of Protein. My nurse practitioner recommended it as l struggled to get in all my Protein right after surgery. They also sell a flavorless powder you can add to any liquid to add protein. Be careful of those small protein tubes as my nutritionist said they are not good for you. Good luck!

Does the unjury make your soup thick. I tried that with soup and it was terrible. I didn't mix the powder with Water first. So maybe that's where I messed up.

The Unjury chix soup powder is suppose to be mixed with Water only (luke warm water...can't be boiling water). They do sell a flavorless Protein Powder that you can add to any liquid...no taste. Neither powders make anything thick. If you mixed the chix soup powder with soup...you're probably right...that's why it was gross...lol

I just read on the Unjury website that if the liquid is too hot, it does change the texture of the Protein. The liquid you use has to be lukewarm.

      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!!
