help with protein

I am 4 days out and the dr said to start protein shakes but itried it was a rough day i gaged the first time it went in my mouth then my stomach hurt. It was the unflavored unjury protein. I also had to take milk of mag today it made me go 10 times and counting is thus normal. sorry its a long just worry

Congrats on the having the surgery!! I am almost 5 moths out and trust me, it gets better!! Dont get discouraged k?  Anyway, I did nto drink the protein shakes.  I mixed the unjury in the broth from chicken noodle soup.  I got it real hot in the microwave and mixed the unury in it.  It may not seem like it but it thickened up the broth and was actually really good!  Do u have any sugar free popsicles?  I ate those non stop.  I still have 2-3 of them a day.  In fact, I just ate one!  We can count it as part of our liquid intake.

Just thought I'd give u some suggestions.

Good luck !!!

I took it when I had trouble with my pre-op liqid diet.  I took the larger of the two doses.  I wen****er for two days.  If I have to take it post, I'll only take the smaller half dose.  So, I would say it is doing just what it does.

There's a few protein drinks that I drink maybe this will help you out. I bought the whey protein from gnc and also walmart has it. I hope you feel better and you find what is right for you.

Carnation Instant Breakfast (yellow box)
whey protein (unflavored)
1/2 banana
1 cup skim milk
26 grams of protein


1 cup V8-diet splash
whey protein(unflavored)
banana
3-4 ice cubes
21 grams protein

wish you the best hope this helps out some.good luck on your journey.

 

Try the Unijury with crystal light.  I got strawberry and vanilla unijury and have tolerated them both pre op.  Now maybe post op next week will be a different story.  take care

I love my "mocha latte".  I use 8 oz of milk, 4 ice cubes, 1 scoup of chocolate protein powder, 1 heaping tsp of caffeine free coffee crystals.  Blend in blender or magic bullet and tastes just like starbucks.  Yum.
