Recommended Posts

So I see people having an issue getting in there Protein.. im using Isopure whey Protein powder it has 50mg of protien 1 carb and no sugar it comes in the same flavors as the isopure Liquid Protein drinks. One serving gives you 50mg of protein if any one wants to know.

That sounds like a great way to get in your Protein but you should split it up over 2 meals because your body typically cannot absorb that much protein at one time. But if you split it you will get the full benefit.

I am 9 days post op. I am having two shakes a day at 35g of Protein each. I am consuming the Premiere Protein Shakes with two TBSP of PB2.

I also have Isopure, but I have trouble with the flavor right now.

Best,

Just so you know, the bodies inability to process more than 19-27g of Protein at a time has nothing to do with the surgery. Right now you are consuming 200g Protein, and only utilizing about 1/2 of it. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. But you are consuming double the calories you need to for he limited benefit.

This is the protein my surgeon has me on and sell in there office.. considering the fact that I work nights I sleep in the day.im not up in the day to consume the necessary calories for this liquid diets taking in the account that im on 2000 mg of metformin the higher calorie whey protien is whats best for me. It has about 220 calories im only drinking 3 shakes a day which is 680 Water Powerade zero no calories in that. Two s/f jellos which has 10 and a cup of low sodium broth which leaves me under 720 calories.

      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.
