I got sent home last nite, I got sick on a protein bar! I was on the bike so a friend drove me home in the wee hours. Think i will find something different I can take to work for protein, Any suggestions?

Hope you feel better soon! I haven't had surgery yet so I can't offer any suggestions. I bet someone on this board can help.....take it easy!

Did you eat it too fast? Or not chew well enough?
Are you able to sit down to eat or are you eating on the go at work?
Shelley :o)

Lot of the time I eat on the run. Probably ate it too fast.

Protein shake?
Cottage cheese?
Greek yogurt?
Mini baby belle cheese?

I find dairy is least likely to make me barf or dump.

Sorry that happened to you. I have no advice, but I wanted you to know that I wish dumping wasn't so awful.

Oh I have been there! I am so sorry that you went through that. Best wishes on finding something different so you don't get sick again!

I'm sorry that happened to you at work, that is a fear of mine!
I too am always on the go. I pack myself greek yogurt, instant oatmeal (kashi, has 6grams protein), protein shake, mixed raw nuts..

Try a deli wrap; 1 slice of deli meat turkey or ham a 1/4 slice of cheese. I make 6 and eat them in intervals of 5 minutes. Its like a sandwich but no bread or mayo lol.

So sorry!! Hope you are feeling better!

Do you like frittata?

Eggs (I use egg beaters), cheese, meat, whatever leftovers I have in frig :) Put it in like a pie pan and bake... Slice it up and stick in baggies. I personally love it cold!

Would be high protein and if you can tolerate eggs, I would think a possible easy eat...?

Here is a link to some recipes. I morph mine to make it low fat/calorie as desired. It's also one of those things I dump leftovers into... but being preop, I do not have to be as careful.

becca1960 05/23/2013

I guess it would help if I gave you the link! :)

almonds, beef jerkey, plain greek yogurt with two to three teaspoons of jam mixed in. I drink ready to drink protein in a can that I buy at the Vitamin shop. It's called Protein Pluss by Met RX. RTD 51. it stands for READY TO DRINK. My favorite flavor is peanut butter. Just chill, shake it very well, drink and enjoy. Good Luck.
