Still Cant Get Protein



Recommended Posts

I couldn't do the shakes either. I found Protein Shots that have 26g of Protein in the 2.9oz shot. They had orange flavor and fruit punch. I preferred the fruit punch. I found them at my grocery store in the section with the Ensure. Good luck.

When you can eat, try Protein bars. But please wait till you are cleared by your doctor.

hi there

checked your profile, don't know how far you are post-op.

if you are very new to the sleeve, Protein is not as important as liquids, Water, broth, SF popsicles -

push the drinking

i was dehydrated once, couldn't keep meds down, vomitted all that good stuff - had to go to hospital for an IV to get me hydrated again

protein will be added soon enough, now getting all your liquids in

can't emphasize enough - just keep on drinking

as far as loosing hair - i would rather be bald then ever be fat/overweight again

good luck

Tried again and can't do the shakes I barely get my liquid in what am I gonna do? I see the dr. Next week scared of dehydration but' date=' more afraid of losing my hair.[/quote']

I don't know how to put this nicely so you're just gonna have to be mad at me.

Drink your Water. Don't even try Protein till you can get your Water in. Chances are you ARE going to experience Hair loss regardless, you are not getting enough Protein to make a difference now anyhow.

Also when you end up hospitalized due to dehydration they aren't going to pump you full of protein so you are gonna have a protein deficiency anyhow.

Additionally, you do know that the hair loss is not permanent right? And it tends to be more of a thinning than a "balding" loss.

I understand completely where you are coming from, I am one of he most self absorbed people you will ever meet. Vanity can be a M-Fer but we can't allow vanity to overcome our sense of self preservation.

Hope you don't stay mad at me too long.

Also, Unjury has an unflavored protien when your ready for food. You can add it to anything and it has no taste at all. I just open a package and sprinkle it on as much as I can. When you get to soft foods it goes great in applesauce. I am 4 months out, and have lost 70 lbs. I have always had very long hair. I had to cut it short 2 weeks ago. But it WILL come back!!!!

That is true, but it's sip sip sip!. My Dr told me up until 4 weeks dont worry about getting all the protien in, its more important to stay hydraded. You will get there...hang in

Please look at the ingredients, if it says collagen or Gelatin it's garbage and that's exactly where they should go.

If it truly a whey protein shot I'd be happy to take them off your hands.

It says whey Protein, casein protein isolate, complete protein matrix and other ingredients that don't seem as important

It just says Whey Protein and I have 9 left. They were $3 each and I can ship them flat rate priority for about $5.75... So $32.75 and they are yours.

      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.
