enough protein

[B-52 7,113]

@B52. What is the recipe for the Custom smoothie?

Thanks for the help

In a blender....I start with 100% whey...25gm, then I add "Pro-Stat 64" a sugar free pure liquid Protein, 30ml (shot glass) for 15gm.....

Mixed with 8oz Water or skim milk if you prefer, add your favorite fresh fruit, Peanut Butter, banana, just about anything you can imagine...even coffee....summertime add a ice cube...can also add yogurt or ice cream....and also non thickening Fiber powder.....always below 300 calories total......no solid Breakfast can match it....and I feel,the advantages all day, can tell when I miss one...

I've been doing this for some time...and it was not because of the band...it was recommended by my cardiologist to name just one...

When I got banded, it became a daily practice since post-op....

Your body can only absorb so much Protein at one sitting do drinking a large amount at once doesn't help you out that much. Much to my dismay, I've been doing a little research on the subject. It takes protein in liquid form, like a shake, an hour and a half to pass through your digestive tract. And your body will absorb about 15g an hour. Everything not absorbed is excreted. Hope that helps!

How long does it take a solid form of Protein (like meat) to pass though and therefore how much can you absorb?

Thanks

Careful not to drink too much of your Proteins. The band requires solid foods to stay satisfied.

I'm not sure Tara. I think the study was just done on liquid Protein. In a study of 19-35 yr old men with a bmi of 20-22 they absorbed 15g of Protein in one sitting. Everyone is different but that's something to compare it to.

Thanks. I guess I'll try to do some research to find out.

Cool let me know what you find out!
