The timeframe for protein shakes isn't really all that long.
Unflavored or chicken soup flavored Unjury works really well.
What you'll be living with ......are the perimeter sections of your grocery store.

Hello,
I'm pre-op for VSG. So far, I've been eating well and not feeling any hunger or cravings....until yesterday.
I haven't eaten an orange in probably 25 years, I just don't like them. Yesterday, my husband and I were grocery shopping and I saw Navel oranges. I had to buy one. My husband looked at me like I had 2 heads. I ate 1/2 the orange after dinner last night, the other half this morning. Now I want more!
Also, at about 10:30 last night, I was hungry, but I didn't want to go back to my old habits of eating a few pieces of bread with peanut butter on them. I decided to not deprive myself of the PB and measured a tablespoon and ate it. I felt much better after, and having the taste of PB was fantastic.
Has anyone had these types of cravings Pre-Op, Post-Op, etc?
Enjoy your day!

I follow the Pound of Cure diet. You can find it on Amazon for about $12. It is simple, easy to follow, and has produced great results for me (and is written by my surgeon, so obviously the plan he perscribes).
It essentially focuses around eating "real food". Veggies, animal and non-animal protein and fruit. Avoiding refined carbs, processed foods and dairy.
If you are intersted in earning more his name is Dr. Matthew Weiner - he has a ton of videos posted on his website and Youtube channel. Both surgery reated, but also nutrition related. They are excellent videos an pretty much give you the same info that's in his book.

Since childhood, taking a multivitamin has always made me feel sick at my stomach for hours (whether in chewable or tablet form).
I saw my G.P. last week and he recommended that I take the multivitamin right before going to bed.
I haven't had this problem since.
You do not need to live on protein powder and milk post-op.

Unjury makes chicken soup protein powder that's great and unflavored that I put in beef broth right after surgery.

I know this is an older post, but I saw that you did go through with the revision. How are things going? Are you happy with the results? How was the recovery period. I hear its much tougher the second time around.
Thank you!

Muscle Milk is the only protein shake I can stomach! No as for the strawberries and cream.... That's the worst one you could try! LOL! The best by far is the Vanilla Creme then the Banana Creme and the Cookies and Creme. Try those... If you like Banana you will love that one for sure.
