Easy way to get my protein in



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I can't really saying I've been hungry, but head hunger has been a big pain to deal with. I just want to eat for the sake of eating.

Today I get to start having things other than broth and Clear liquids, yeah!!!

I was mostly just having 3 slim fast shakes a day and as much Water as I could get down. I found if I drank juices it would just stimulate my appetite and make me feel sick or hungry.

I bought some powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate, vanilla, and unflavored powered whey Protein isolate to make shakes with. supplements for Everyday Health! High Protein and High Quality.

I haven't actually made any shakes with them yet, but instead I am finding myself just adding a scoop to whatever I am having at the time.

My slim fast only had 10 grams of protein in it, so I would just add another scoop to my shake making it 30 grams of protein in stead of 10 so just 2 of those a day would give me 60 grams of protein.

Today for Breakfast I had 4oz of yogurt and 1 scoop of vanilla powered protein which gave me 24 grams of protein

For lunch I will have some Tomato Soup with 1 scoop of unflavored protein which will give me another 20 grams

It's really cool:thumbup: to be able to add protein to your meals.

Unjury is awesome!!!! If I was to only buy 1 to try it I would start with the unflavored it really does not change the flavor of what you are eating. 2nd choice would be vanilla because you can add it to almost anything sweet, then if you want chocolate flavor just add a little bit of cocoa.

I am beginning to think I can do this with the help of UNJURY!!!!;)

That's a great idea with the unflavored! I ordered and received the sample packs in every flavor and now that I have tried them, I think I am going to order the chocolate and unflavored. I definitely do not like the strawberry and I am teetering about the chicken Soup b/c although I like the flavor, it has a STRONG aftertaste to me and I have seen people post about it being too high in sodium. I tried the vanilla in my cooled hot coffee today and I really did not enjoy it like I thought I would. I actually felt sick after I was done and I just did not like the flavor. I wish unjury would come out with a coffee fllavored Protein supplement! ;) I would love that for sure!

Day 9 of my pre op diet and no slipups! Woo hoo!!

Thats awesome, i got this AnyWhey Protein Powder from my doctor's website. Suburbansurgicalcare.com It is also unflavored and I added some to my apple juice today. I have to be on Clear Liquids for a week so there's not much variety really to choose from. But I think I will just be adding that powder to everything and make sure I get my 60 grams a day. I actually think I'm going to add it to my Water also in between meals to make sure I get it all in.

Hallelujah.girl - Good to hear you found the supplement that works for you. I'm too found using Unjury really helps me in feeling full. I don't know how I would of got through my 10 day pre op with out it. Right now I can go about 4 hours and then i get the hunger sensation. This curbs it. I only get 4oz 4 times a day though but it works. Good luck in starting your new life!

I reeeeally wish I would have gotten unflavored Protein mix for post-op. I have vanilla, which was awesome during pre-op when I was mixing it with strawberries or bananas or peaches! Now, not so much. I mixed it with vanilla yogurt but it was just so much overpowering vanilla that it was a struggle to finish.

So, I think I am going to hit GNC tomorrow to get some of the unflavored. Question though - does it change the texture of whatever you put it in? I have a weird food texture thing. :unsure:

9 1/2 days left to go! If I made it through 30 days of pre-op dieting, I can surely do this!

(that's what I keep telling myself. ;))

The unjury doesn't give it a weird texture but it does seem to make whatever I put it in thinner.

YOU CAN DO IT!

      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.

      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!!
