14 Months Post Op. 6 Weeks Pregnant. Protein Shakes?



Recommended Posts

Well I didn't quite get to my goal, about 47lbs short and now I've discovered I have a bun in the oven.

I have/had PCOS and my husband had motility issues so we thought it would never happen. Well we got the surprise of a lifetime. Now I'm wondering if Protein shakes(casein and isopure) are ok during pregnancy. They're a staple in my diet, i have a shake every morning for Breakfast.

Has anyone heard from their Dr about Protein shakes being okay during pregnancy?

I go see my Dr Wednesday but wanted to see what the concensus is.

I've been told Protein Shakes are a ok during pregnancy as long as that's not the only thing you are consuming, and not having way to much Protein.< /p>

shakes are fine according to my doc and for a while were the only way I could get real Protein due to morning sickness. shakes didn't bother me but just about all food made me sick for months.

They're a fantastic way to up your nutritional stats and add calories to your daily intake.

Congrats!

      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.
