Lacking Protein HELP



Recommended Posts

I'm on the same boat can't even think of my whey Protein Shakes, it makes me vomit... All I want is Clear Liquids and I'm 2 weeks out going on 3... I'm planing on ordering some soy Protein Powder to mix with juice and Water, since I can't tolerate any milk flavor or texture...

Try mixing unflavored Isopure with your Water and crystal light, this way you kill 2 birds with one drink. I have been doing this since sleeved which was Nov 5, 2012.

What brand of Isopure unflavored and where do you get it at

The Isopure drinks from GNC made me vomit. I'm pretty worried too actually. I'm having a hard time figuring out what to eat when and when to drink. I always feel vomity so I think I'm full but then my stomach is growling something fierce.

I feel a little lost.

@PHjason

I agree some of the rtd Isopure are gross. As mentioned earlier, try the Isopure unflavored powder and mix it to your flavored water. Muscle milk light is delicious, right now I am on cake batter, can't wait to try more flavors. I've read good reports on nectar banana creme, but I am going to order the sample pack to try first. What is your docs advice on eating?

      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.
