I had my surgery two days ago, July 20, by Dr Robert Shin. I have five very small incisions which are sore but tolerable, a little nausea and still feeling sort of wiped out.

I am having a real hard time getting miniumum of 60 gms of protein in on this full liquid diet week. I am drinking protein drinks and adding some protein to cream of chicken soup. Any other suggestions?

Congratulations on your surgery. I am glad you are doing well. Maybe you could get some unflavored protein things - like I know that this stuff called unjury is high protein and it has an unflavored kind. Mix it with your water or tea or whatever you are drinking. You won't even be able to taste it. You can buy it off the internet at unjury website

hi moonpie,

i use the new-whey Protein bullets. i bought them online at A1Supplements.com - Wholesale supplements Nutrition at Low Prices to Build Muscle, Lose Fat with EAS, MuscleTech, BSN and more!

they have them in 25 gms and 42 gms

i like the blue raspberry and fruit punch the best

i continue to use these today if i cant eat enough protein

good luck!

Awww

Just wanted to say Hi and bear with it.... .I'm in the UK and my post op care was very different, so I'm not much use...

Hang in there...

Congrats on your surgery! I was banded on the 16th and I'm facing the same issue. These are some great suggestions! I will try both.

I am two days out and am having the same issue. I am just not hungry enough to get down that much protein. I am getting most of my protein from the Unjury chocolate (20 grams protein per scoop) and 2 cups of skim milk (16 grams protein). it doesnt taste too bad at all. I had horrible luck with the unflavored and juice.
