Vitamins and Protein



Recommended Posts

I could not, once I was banded, eat those nasty Vitamins that were recommended by my nut. Today I went directly to a Vitamin store and purchased Natural Vitality Optimum liquid vitamins. I tried my first dose and they're so much better! Although expensive, they are worth not having to chew vitamins.

I also bought organic hemp Protein in tropical flavor. Has anyone tried the protein that you just add to juice? I could not take another thick gross Protein Shake. Let me know what your thoughts are and if anyone has tried either liquid vitamins or the protein for juice.

I bought those same liquid vitamins yesterday and started taking them this morning. It was so much easier than the chewable vitamins. :)

hi - I already sort of answered in the other topic - but let me know how the organic hemp Protein is!! The stuff I'm using is whey protein so it tends to have an almost milky flavour... but as I said thankfully not that thick yucky stuff - ugh. I had some of those pre-op shakes left, and haven't been able to touch them.

I can't take the liquid vitamins, don't like the taste. I take gummies. They for me are much better. (But to each his/her own)! Glad you fund something you like. Karen

The hemp Protein was so gross!! Would not recommend that at all. my nutritionist suggested a whey protein that I can add to Soup or juice or anything I happen to be eating our drinking. Does anyone know of a good one?

Try unjury unflavored.

Chez, I need to bump up my Protein, if I add Protein powder to food items, does it change the texture like cottage cheese or chicken salad for example?

To me the Gummy ones have a lot of sugar. Has anyone found some that have less than 3g per serving?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
