Monthly Cost for Protein?



Recommended Posts

I noticed that using Protein products like Unjury and Isopure can be costly. How much are you spending a month just to get some protein in?

They seem expensive but I actually did a financial analysis on spending on food pre wls and post wls. I am saving about $300 a month post wls on food.. I ate out a lot pre wls.

After my first week, I got most of my Protein from normal food.< /p>

I spend roughly $60.00 a month on Protein Drinks alone. It's what I need so I can't complain

I have one shake a day. I buy a 12 pack of Premier Protein (from SAMs) for $18.88. I buy it twice a month. I spend roughly $40.00 a month on Protein Shakes

I'm using the ENS shakes (vitamins in the shakes). A tub is about $60 and lasts me a month. WAY cheaper than buying the Vitamins separately, and like someone else said, I'm saving a small fortune not eating out!!

Isopure powder 3.5 lbs $50.00 directions say 2 scoops for 50 gram shake. I use one or two scoops a day depending on how much Protein I have eaten.I try to stay at 100 grams min. Sometimes wifey will comment on the $$ cost of my new lifestyle,I say what we save in pizza and Chinese take out puts us at break even , dr copays for the heart attack I was eating towards is pure profit!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
