week 2 full liquids, how do I get 80 gms protein



Recommended Posts

Just found this forum, first post. Banded a week ago, moving from Clear liquids to full liquid diet. Dr. advised full liquid for two weeks and wants 80 grams of Protein a day. i tried the strained low fat cream of chicken Soup and added a scoop of GNC whey protein. What an awful mess, was like glue and just unpalatable. Needless to say my dogs loved it! Any suggestions on getting the protein with the small 1/4 cup size portions needed during this full liquid phase. Thanks for any advise

You can get your Protein through shakes. Premier shakes are 30 grm per serving. Maybe 2 or 3 shakes a day?

During that time I drank shakes. I didn't really have an appitite so that helped.

I lived on shakes and had the Soups as Snacks. There's really no other way to do it without everything being nasty.

I did 4 slimfast high Protein Shakes a day plus at night I was allowed to have 1 cup of soft cooked veggies. I was getting in about 80 grams of Protein a day.

Thanks for the help. Finally was able to speak with my doc and they told me to ignore the 1/4 cup information that was on their published diet. So now I can do the shakes, 2-3 premier shakes a day will get me the needed Protein. Best of all I can avoid that yuk that I was getting with the powder Protein.< /p>

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
