Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
Does anyone have any liquid diet recipes for the first 5 weeks after surgery, prior to soft food stage? I really would like to keep some variety so that I can keep up with this. I already want to chew something like crazy, and I'm finding it difficult to get in all the protein and I'm not really in love with the protein shakes, although I tolerate them.
They are very good. I use unflavored Whey protein(1 scoop)skim milk(1 1/2 cups)and Carnation Instant Breakfast Sugar free(1 package). I then put everything in the blender. It tastes like a chocalate milkshake. This recipe has 34 grams of protein. I hope you will enjoy this. Good luck!!!
Melinda
1 6 oz of yogurt-lite, fat free
1/2 cup fat free(skim) milk
1/4 cup of powdered milk(for extra protein)
1/2 banana or 1/2 cup of lite peaches/pears
blend all of that together in a blender or I use one of those wand mixers. I can only get half of it down, which is about 3 oz right now, and I just save the other half for in a few hours to drink. The protein in it is 24 grams. Hope this helps..
Oh btw...I hated yogurt before my surgery(thought it tasted like cardboard,not that I eat cardboard) but now I love it, great flavors!
