Getting nervous about the protein thing
My surgery is scheduled for January 24th. I have tried two different types of protein from Discount Sports Nutrition and could not handle the taste of either one. I have ordered several samples from Bariatriceating.com and am hoping these will taste better. I am just so nervous I will not get in enough protein after surgery. Also, went to the grocery store today to find liquids for the 1st two weeks after surgery and came home with some crystal light and sf jello. Any other suggestions. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with those of us who are just starting on this path.
SF Popcicles, Blue Bunny lite 85 yogurt, skim milk, SF pudding, Instant potatos, cottage cheese, chicken broth, beef broth... These should be tolorable right after surgery if your surgeon allows them... but ask just to make sure... Don't worry too much about the protein thing, you'll get there, and I'm sure you'll find one that you like... I use Pro Performace Whey Protein from GNC and I like it really well, I also like the carmel, but I hate the vanilla..
Hope this helps, feel free to email with any other questions
