Protein Ideas? HELP! 2 weeks post



Recommended Posts

How are you at getting fluids in? You might be able to dilute the Protein shakes (or the clear Isopure Protein drinks) with something you find more palatable, enough to be able to get it down. I would sometimes try to get my protein really concentrated so there wouldn't be so much of it, but that just made it nasty.

2 weeks is still really early, so don't despair! Just keep trying to find things that you can tolerate that you can use to dilute/hide the taste of your protein sources that you don't like as much.

Is there a Soup that you like? Blended up/thinned cream Soups were a go-to for me during full liquids.

I was also really intolerant of protein-shake taste during this stage and had to doctor them up with sugar free pudding/syrup/hot chocolate mix to get them down, but now (4 months out) I am back to tolerating Protein powder as well as I did before surgery, so some of this yucky feeling will go away with time!

I'm only out 2 or so weeks too, but these have saved me so far, Unflavored GENEPRO - It's only 1T and gives 30 grams of Protein, and I mix it into Jello, chicken broth or creamed Soups. I also do Syntrax's nectar and Matrix brand Protein Powder drinks...I found one that I absolutely LOVE, Matrix Mint chocolate Chip Cookie. It tastes like a shamrock shake, and I could drink this every day w/o issues! I'm sure other's will have great ideas too, Good luck!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
