Post op soups and protein

I really liked a potato leek Soup made by Imagine -- found in the natural foods section of our regular grocery store. Delicious, creamy, satisfying. Comes in a carton. Mix it up with tuna for a casserole when you're at that stage. Good luck and congratulations -- we are turning our lives around!

I had been using Muscle Milk until I realized it's only 16 Protein per scoop. So I bought Matrix by Syntrax and I hate the taste of it. It's been hard eating only broth and gagging down crushed medicine but now to have to gag down protein drinks is a total bummer. Has anyone else here experienced going from muscle milk to something that tastes somewhat as good?

Try Premier Protein which is premade and can be found at SAMs club and costco. Even my friends who hate Protein Shakes like it. Love the chocolate flavor...tastes just like chocolate milk. You can also warm it up and then it tastes like hot cocoa!

Darn I don't have a SAMs or Costco around me.

If you're on Clear liquids, check with your doctor about how to prepare the Soup. Clear Liquids usually mean that you would prepare the soup with Water rather than milk. I would call on that and ask. Also, what is "phase 3" on your eating plan? Generally, the time after WLS is staged out 1 being clear liquids, 2 being full liquids, 3 being pureed foods and/or soft foods, etc.

On my stage 3 Tomato Soup is listed as an example with low fat lactaid milk for added Protein. I was shocked it was on there also. I ate only what was on the example menu.

It is strange how many different versions there are.

Very true! But then, there are different diets with every surgery as well - I'm a sleever so mine was a bit different than yours would be

My favorite Protein Drink for almost a year straight now has been premiere Protein in chocolate flavor that can be found at SAMs club and costco. Tastes just like chocolate milk. Also great to warm it up and it tastes like hot cocoa! <br><br> I also made any Soups I could in the beginning with milk to add additional protein. I also added unflavored protein into anything I could.
