Hi everyone!

Post surgery, I will be on a liquid diet for approximately 10 days. I don't want to have just Protein Shakes, so wanted to inquire about how you guys made high Protein broths. I've tested a great homemade Bone Broth (using chunks of been bones as my dad is a meat cutter), but don't want to eat that all the time everyday. I found another recipe that calls for TrueNutrition Beff Isolate Protein, and Egg White Protein. Has anyone used that brand before? What about those specific types of Protein Powder? I've only used whey products to date.

Additionally, anyone have any recipes to share? I've tried the boxed versions they sell and they were not for me.

I didn't because many of the "bone Protein powders" are made primarily with hydrolyzed collagen and other Proteins that don't carry the full spectrum of 9 essential amino acids. The only 3 that my surgeon recognize and wants us on are: whey, egg, or soy.

But I used unflavored protein and added it to homemade Bone Broth. It tasted lovely and gave a break from the sweets!

You're so lucky to have a meat cutter in your fam!!

I found a variety of powdered bone broths at my local TJmaxx/Home goods that gave me a bunch of variety. That said don't kid yourself you are still going to be getting most of your Protein by choking down those damned shakes. Try cutting the shakes with unflavored protein or peanut powder if the shake flavor is complementary (I'm fond of banana Protein Shakes with the PB powder).

Add unflavored Protein mix to your broth. I get mine at GNC. GENEPRO micronized protein. It dissolves very easy because it's very fine.

The Protein Shakes are driving me crazy, I am going to go postal/Facebook soon. Do not buy vanilla flavored Premier Protein shakes. Trust mem

1/2 premier protein+decaf coffee 2x a day makes me happy :) I can live with with drinking 1 whole a day, but don’t want to do more than that if I don’t half to

Although I'm not a big vanilla fan, I used the Premier Protein vanilla instead of Creamer in my chai tea - delicious!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
