I hear everyone talking about getting enough Protein I'm going to ask the dr if the herbalife protein would work...

He likely won't know off the top of his head, get the info from the label.

How many grams of Protein per serving?

How many grams of carb?

How many grams of fat?

What is the source of Protein? Proteins from certain sources are less easily absorbed by our bodies so you don't get the full benefit from the protein.

I like to get Protein powder that gives me the most bang for my caloric buck. 110 calories for 25 grams of whey protein isolate.

No, it's Jay Robb chocolate or strawberry, or orange dreamcicle. I haven't tried his unflavored, but I think it's the same... They're sweetened with stevia, so unless you're used to stevia, you might think they taste weird.

I am not good with milk, shakes, or powdery products. I am so thankful for the Isopure punch flavor drinks. 40 grams of Protein and zero calories. It taste like Gatorade. I do equal ice to the drink and that way I am getting more fluids with the protien drink.

Go to Supplement Superstore.com. I. Their website is a Protein Shake called Level 1, made by 1st Phorm. Look at the nutrition facts, the ingredients... I tell you this stuff is not chalky! If you have the store nearby its $39.99 otherwise $ 59.99 on website... Many flavors too! What I like about this, no gas, no bloating! Got to read the info, ck it out! Sometimes we get what we pay for.... :)

Yes! Amazon.com nature's best ...100% whey isolate.

thanks!!! I will look into it. I havbt tried any unflavored yet but I wanted something that I can put in sweets and salts that won't have an overpowering powder/protein taste.

Remember that a gram of Protein is 4 calories. I figure the minimum calories the powder can have and see how many they've added. So don't believe a zero calorie drink can have X amount of protein!

I never knew that. Good to know, thanx!

Isopure is a good one as well... I'm doing all my research now before I get my surgery date... They have drinks and powder. A bit expensive but worth it.. The drinks are about 40g of Proteins and 0 carbs

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
